On October 24, people from Tampa will join Greenpeace to hear the importance of acting now for the climate and gather together to take a stand for the climate and a clean energy future as part of the largest global day of climate action ever.
The event is one of more than 3,000 events in over 150 countries to call on President Obama and other world leaders to secure a fair, ambitious and binding global deal in Copenhagen this December at the UN Climate Change Conference. Greenpeace is calling on President Obama to lead the world toward a solution to the climate crisis that is based on the latest science, not the demands of oil and coal companies and their backers in Congress.
Join Greenpeace Tampa, Repower America, Faiths United for Sustainable Energy, Student Environmental Association, Alliance of Concerned Students, 1 Sky and Florida Consumer Action Network to rally and march along Bayshore Blvd. in Tampa for climate leaders, not politicians. Local residents will join Greenpeace for the largest ever international day of climate action to urge President Obama and other world leaders to take fast and effective action on global warming.
When: Saturday, October 24th, at 10 am.
Where: 324 Bayshore Blvd, Tampa.
