RISING UP FOR CLIMATE ACTION!
Wow! What an amazing turnout Friday! Toronto stepped out – 20,000 strong! Canada turned out 800,000 strong – and the world turned out – 7 million strong – to call for urgent climate action NOW.
We did it – together. Now we need to build on that message to keep the pressure on politicians – and to continue to build our movement. JOIN US THIS WEEK!
