Climate Convergence on Raleigh - April 20th & 21st (350.org)

This weekend, people from across North Carolina will converge in Raleigh to raise awareness about climate change and demand that the state government take strong action.

Will you join us?

WHAT: Climate Convergence on Raleigh
WHEN: Saturday, April 20th, from 10:00 AM-9:00 PM, and Sunday, April 21st, at 10:30 AM. On Sunday, we will also hold a rally on Halifax Mall from 1:30-3:15.
WHERE: Church of the Good Shepherd, 125 Hillsborough Street, Raleigh, NC. The Sunday rally will be at the Halifax Mall, 301 N. Salisbury Street.

Click here for more info and to RSVP.

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.
