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.
