Rise for Climate Global Day of Action

On September 8th, four days before the start of the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco, California, and two months before the U.S. midterm elections, the Peoples Climate Movement will organize people from across the country and around the world to demand bold action on climate change. Globally the mobilization is called “Rise for Climate,” where advocates plan to send a clear message to governments through distributed actions in towns, institutions, cities to push forward real climate action.

The Peoples Climate Movement demands Real Climate Leadership, which requires:

• Environmental, racial, and economic justice for all
• No new fossil fuel development and a managed decline of existing fossil fuel production
• A just transition to 100% renewable energy that protects workers, Indigenous peoples and frontline communities — both in these extractive industries and more broadly — and ensures family-sustaining jobs with the right to unionize, that are safe for people and the planet
• Just and equitable resiliency and recovery efforts led by the communities most impacted
