“Forward on climate” solidarity and walk this Sunday

This Sunday, join the "Forward On Climate" Solidarity Rally and Walk in Spokane, 1pm at the Rotary Fountain in Riverfront Park. You'll be standing in solidarity with one of the largest climate demonstrations in U.S. history.

Thousands of Americans across the nation are rallying to stop the export of fossil fuels. Washington is currently facing proposals to ship over 100 million tons of coal through our communities, but there are more export proposals across the U.S. like the Keystone XL Pipeline. Show your support here in Spokane and send a clear message to Governor Inslee and President Obama to take the strongest stand possible: Reject fossil fuel exports and prioritize a renewable energy future.

There will be tribal drummers and speaker from the Spokane Tribe, special guest speakers City Council President Ben Stuckart, Rev. Dr. Todd Ekloff, and others, plus the event will be emceed by KXLY’s Kris Crocker There will be a crowd picture with NO Fossil Fuel Exports signs and it will then be sent to Gov. Inslee and Pres. Obama. At 2 pm they will form a walking train and walk east from Riverfront Park on sidewalk of Main Avenue.

Organizers want to you to wear read and to bring the noise.
