Earth Day Action Workshop – RSVP
On Earth Day leaders from President Biden to Mayor Keller will affirm their urgent commitment to curbing global climate change and protecting our planet. Whether it’s rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, developing strong methane rules or creating an Albuquerque Climate Action Plan, we need to take action to support these efforts and make them as strong as possible. So please join us at noon on Earth Day for a short workshop on how you can help and make a real difference. We’ll provide you with a series of actions from a quick petition to help create strong, local smog rules, to writing a Letter to the Editor to support meaningful local and national action on methane pollution. If climate change makes you feel scared, overwhelmed and even a little paralized, let us help you turn your concern into tangible action. Register here.
