Hey John,

It's finally here! Tomorrow (Feb. 11th) is Oregon’s Climate Emergency Rally! This is our big day to show legislators that Oregonians support a bold solution to the climate crisis. We'll be rallying for the health of our communities, for the climate, and for Oregon's future.

Over 1,000 activists have already signed up for our biggest climate rally of the year. There's still time to RSVP if you want to take part in this historic event!

For those of you who have already signed up, we can't wait to see you tomorrow! Here are some details to make sure you're all ready to go.
