350.org International Day of Climate Action: This Saturday will be BIG. Come be a part of it, and bring your friends! Seriously, if you take action just once this semester for the environment, come to the International Day of Climate Action! Saturday October 24th Rhode Island residents from all walks of life will unite as part of the 350.org International Day of Climate Action. It will be the biggest collective call that citizens of the world have ever made upon their governments to demand climate justice.
At 11 AM Brown students will converge on the Main Green to snap a bird’s-eye-view photograph spelling 350 with our bodies. We will then proceed down the hill chanting, singing, dancing and banner-waving to Waterplace Park. We will join the Providence community at Waterplace Park for a 12 pm rally to tell our President and our senators that we must take action now. We’ll also enjoy speakers, performances, and activities for all ages.
