Joins us tomorrow, June 9th for a rally, march, and protest to End the Fossil Fuel Era!
We are in a climate emergency. There has never been more urgency to end the era of fossil fuels. President Biden has the tools as president to consistently reject fossil fuel projects – and this year, we have a critical opportunity to ensure he does.
We are just 5 days out until our End the Fossil Fuel Era Action in conjunction with the People vs. Fossil Fuels coalition!
Join us for a day of action on June 9th 2023 to demand Biden use his executive powers to end the era of fossil fuels and declare a climate emergency! Please RSVP today! To RSVP, simply click on the pin on the map and on the orange text to reach the RSVP page for our local action.
We will gather on June 9th at 11 AM at the Kluczynski Federal Building at 230 S. Dearborn Avenue to demand an end to the fossil fuel era, march to Chase Tower to tell Chase Bank to stop financing fossil fuel infrastructure, and march to the Aon Center to say NO to the proposed Peoples Gas rate hike!
We will have a New Orleans style funeral procession with a 4-piece jazz band to lead the way. We will have speakers demanding that President Biden shut down the Line 5 oil and gas pipeline currently running under the Straits of Mackinac, talk about the devastation on the South Shore from years of fossil fuel pollution and more to be announced.
RSVP to attend the action today!
If you would like to participate in planning or in filling a role during the action, we have plenty of opportunities, especially for people to hold signs or be a pallbearer of our cardboard coffin. Please email me at [email protected] to volunteer.
Background:
We’re taking action this summer building up to a major action in September at the Climate Ambition Summit in New York, demanding that President Biden take bolder action to lead us off fossil fuels. Starting this June, we’re mobilizing to turn up the heat and make Biden take the climate action we need – and end the era of fossil fuels.
Stay tuned for information about this September!
In solidarity,
Team 350 Chicago
