The climate convergence will be a mixture of education, inspiration, and a call to action. There will be lectures and panel discussions on climate change, reducing our use of fossil fuels, making the critical shift to renewables, growing food in a new climate, and climate ethics. We'll also have inspiring poetry, prayer, song, and a spirited climate convergence speak-out.
Several local rallies and events will precede the Climate Convergence on Raleigh in Sylva, Boone, Winston-Salem, and Greensboro to help energize and recruit more participants and educate the public. Bicyclists will be leaving Boone on April 18th and meeting up with the Winston-Salem and Greensboro rallies on April 18th and 19th.
This is the first year of CCR. Help us kick it off in a big way! RSVP today, and make sure to share the event with your friends.
