Wendell Berry, Bill McKibben, Gus Speth and other giants of environmental activism are in Washington, D.C., to issue a rallying cry for strong climate action tonight, just hours before the start of Power Shift Lobby Day and the historic mass civil disobedience at the Capitol Power Plant.
Tonight’s event at Lisner Auditorium is sold out, but you don’t have to miss the evening of poetry, discussion and inspiration.
Join us to watch the live video starting at 6:30 p.m. ET and go to Chesapeake Climate Action‘s blog to participate in an online discussion as Berry, McKibben and Speth are joined by activists and authors including Terry Tempest Williams and Janisse Ray, the Rev. Lennox Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus, and musicians Kathy Mattea and Here’s to the Long Haul.
Chesapeake Climate Action will also be posting a full recording of the event on its CCAN blog immediately afterward to be viewed at any time.
About This Story
Perhaps you noticed: This story, like all the news we publish, is free to read. That’s because Inside Climate News is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. We do not charge a subscription fee, lock our news behind a paywall, or clutter our website with ads. We make our news on climate and the environment freely available to you and anyone who wants it.
That’s not all. We also share our news for free with scores of other media organizations around the country. Many of them can’t afford to do environmental journalism of their own. We’ve built bureaus from coast to coast to report local stories, collaborate with local newsrooms and co-publish articles so that this vital work is shared as widely as possible.
Two of us launched ICN in 2007. Six years later we earned a Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting, and now we run the oldest and largest dedicated climate newsroom in the nation. We tell the story in all its complexity. We hold polluters accountable. We expose environmental injustice. We debunk misinformation. We scrutinize solutions and inspire action.
