It’s dangerously hot in much of the world today, and it’s not sustainable. On September 8, people in 47 countries around the world will Rise to demand and showcase real climate leadership – so we can end the era of fossil fuels once and for all.
This will be big. But if we want to meet the scale that the climate crisis demands, it’s time for all of us to speak up and add our voices.
Each and every one of us has the power to add to this global effort. We need you to come on September 8, but we also need you to come arm in arm with those you care about. So let them know why you will #RiseForClimate.
Messages like these are personal. They cut through the noise of faceless news and reports. And they travel far – if all of us are sharing our motivations in our own networks, we will reach so many more new people than a typical news article ever could. Thousands more will be inspired to #RiseforClimate and leaders will know that people are serious about doing what it takes to stop climate change, now.
How to share?
Record your answer to the question below and share on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.
It could be a simple photo with a quote, a longer response, a selfie video of you speaking – just make sure you use the hashtag #RiseforClimate on your posts. And here are some more resources to go further.
Why will you and your community #RiseforClimate this September?
If we all take two minutes to share why we care, imagine the enormous ripple effect we can have. Our favorite posts will be gathered together and shown next to others from around the world. Together, we can show how this movement cuts across borders and geography, to protect our one and only planet. Here are some examples:
