Action to End Fossil Fuels in Sacramento
September 17, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
Start: Sunday, September 17, 2023•11:00 AM
Old Sacramento• 1100 Front St, Sacramento, CA 95814, Sacramento, CA 95814 US
We call on all Californians to gather at the state Capitol to demand that our leaders, Biden and Newsom, stop permitting fossil fuels, make a plan to phase out oil and gas and declare a climate emergency. Biden continues to approve fossil fuel projects on federal lands, outpacing Trump’s permits. The Newsom administration has issued over a thousand re-drilling permits, with over half within 1km (3200ft) from homes, schools and hospitals.
This family-friendly action will feature a giant puppet show, carnival games, kayaks in the river, performers and speakers who will share how you can get involved in ending the era of Fossil Fuels and building a better future together.
