Dear Friend,
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, and we want to celebrate
it with you!
We live in turbulent times, but even as we face the challenges of the
COVID-19 pandemic, we know that protecting our planet remains a top
priority. Join us on Wednesday, April 22 for this very special Earth Day
event, starting at 8:00 PM ET.
VIRTUAL “TEACH-IN” WITH ELIZABETH MAY AND CAUCUS!
For 50 years, Earth Day has galvanized the global community and Elizabeth
May has been there from the beginning. On the first Earth Day, Elizabeth
organized her Grade 10 class for a day of action. That year, her key issue
was the "death" of Lake Erie from eutrophication. Earth Day founders Dennis
Hayes and Gaylord Nelson called for "teach-ins" and Elizabeth answered the
call!
Every Earth Day, for the last 50 years, Elizabeth has organized events to
celebrate. In 1990, it was a huge rally on Parliament Hill where thousands
joined Farley Mowat in a wolf howl. Last year, it was the greenest wedding
ever!
THIS YEAR, TO GET BACK TO OUR GRASSROOTS, ELIZABETH AND THE NEW GREEN
CAUCUS ARE HOSTING A MEMBERS-ONLY EARTH DAY “TEACH-IN”. JUST LIKE 50
YEARS AGO, WE’LL DISCUSS THE STEPS WE CAN ALL TAKE TO REDUCE OUR CARBON
FOOTPRINT AND PRESSURE OUR POLITICIANS TO ADOPT GREENER POLICIES.
This is a members-only event where members will have the opportunity to
submit questions to be answered by caucus, so be sure to tune in.

LOOKING FORWARD: YGC INTERVIEWING OFFICIAL LEADERSHIP CONTESTANTS
The teach-in will be followed at 9 PM ET by a public virtual Town Hall
hosted by Young Greens who will interview our leadership contestants. No
membership required so feel free to share this event far and wide!

Even as we practise physical distancing, and recognizing that many of you
might be in self-isolation, the Green Party welcomes you to come together
(virtually) with Greens across Canada to mark this environmental milestone.
We hope to see you there!
