Hello friends,
Join us for Moving Planet: a day to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis – to create a new sense of urgency and possibility for our planet. Stand with us as we send the message: it's time to take bold action for the climate. See the schedule for the event below.
Moving Planet is being hosted by MN350*, a new group of citizens and organizations in the twin cities which has formed to help motivate and organize a significant citizen climate movement in MN. Our group includes students, elders, bikers, environmental justice advocates, religious leaders and more.
Here are some ways you can get involved:
1. Click here to sign up to volunteer at the event! If you have any questions, please contact Allie.
2. Organize a group to carpool, or bike together to the event.
3. Host a table or an activity at the event. Fill out our partnership participation form to reserve your spot.
4. Spread the word! Print out some flyers on our website, and let people know about this critical event. Invite your friends and members through our event pages: Moving Planet Mass Ride, Moving Planet: Moving Faith, and Moving Planet: Minnesota. Follow MN_350 or BikeMN350 on Twitter.
***SCHEDULE FOR THE Event
*350 ppm (parts per million) is what many scientists, climate experts, and progressive national governments are now saying is the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. This is the number for which to strive, and this event on September 24th we hope will mark the official start toward a better, cleaner, and "greener" future!
