A call for green jobs, clean energy, and strong emissions cuts!

Join us to make Senator Whitehouse hear our VOICES!

Date: Thursday December 10th
Time:  5pm
Location: Corner of Washington St. and Exchange St. (Burnside Park)
Bring: Yourself, a friend, and a sign!

The Rhode Island Student Climate Coalition urges you to join concerned citizens from all over Rhode Island to thank Senator Whitehouse for his bold and important stances on climate change.  Senator Whitehouse continues to support strong legislation to curb carbon emissions, in addition to supporting green jobs and sustainability initiatives. 

We will hold a rally at Burnside Park (across from Kennedy Plaza) to applaud his past leadership - but also remind him that our clean energy future depends on his continued bold stance. Senator Whitehouse must continue to be a climate champion, pushing for stronger carbon reduction targets and mechanisms, and more green jobs. 

But, he needs to continue to pressure the White House and Congress to take hard stances on climate change and develop green jobs, as their efforts, overall, have not been enough.

While we hold this rally, world leaders will be gathering in Copenhagen to negotiate a Global Climate Treaty.  At this rally we will also be rising to ensure that the United States and world leaders understand that we expect them to do what is ethical in order to secure our future, and commit to the fight against climate change, and move forward to create a more just, sustainable world.

Please join us to stand for green jobs, clean energy, and strong emissions cuts!
