What: In preparation for the People’s Climate March, 350VT, Rising Tide Vermont, and Vermont Workers’ Center are co-hosting the Northeast Regional Climate Justice Gathering in Greensboro Bend, Aug 8-10. The weekend is packed with amazing presenters (Rude Mechanical Orchestra, Ruckus Society, 350Maine organizers), trainings (non violent communication, non violent direct action, organizing 101), and fun (art builds, singing, and swimming).

When: Check out the tentative schedule.

Why: Dozens of Presidents, Prime Ministers and high-level diplomats are expected to join the UN summit on Sept. 23 in NYC. The goal of the summit is to raise the level of ambition ahead of critical international climate talks in Paris in 2015 — the People’s Climate March on Sunday September 21st will play a pivotal role in pushing world leaders to take bold action.
