July 26th – 27th, Climate Change Rally in Washington, D.C.

July 26, 2013 @ 8:00 am - July 27, 2013 @ 3:00 pm

There will be two big actions in Washington, DC on July 26th and 27th!

First, join us Friday, July 26th in the heart of downtown DC’s corporate fossil fuel corridor to Stand Up Against Fossil Fuel Lies. We’re going to take nonviolent direct action to expose a key way that industry has distorted a crucial piece of a current debate about the disastrous effects of carbon extraction. Due to the nature of this action, specific details will not be available until a training on the evening of July 25th at a location in DC to be announced. Note, however, that there is an important role for everyone no matter if you’re willing to risk arrest or to stand in support.

On July 27th we’re coming together in Lafayette Park across from the White House to say President Obama: Keep Your Promises! We will gather by the thousands with walkers from the Walk For Our Grandchildren and other partners to call upon President Obama to turn dreams into deeds by rejecting the Keystone XL and taking steps to begin leaving fossil fuels in the ground.

Where: Washington DC
When: July 26th and 27th
Why: To challenge fossil fuel industry lies and call on President Obama to keep his promises to us and our children by confronting the challenge of climate change.
Organized by: 2013 March for our Grandchildren, CCAN
