Walk for climate justice - Sat. March 13- 3:30 pm

Join the Austin Oxfam Action Corps to help put a human face to the devastating affects of climate change. The walk is a visual representation of the current and future hardships caused by erratic temperature and rainfall, flooding, drought, competition over scarce resources—and the growing distance that poor people, especially women and children, will have to walk for water.

We've all seen the images on the evening news: the droughts, floods, hunger, and disease. Decades of greenhouse gas emissions have finally caught up with our climate—and it's the poorest among us who are worst affected. Oxfam America organized the Walk for Climate Justice to draw attention to these impacts and to highlight the human face of climate change.

Meet at the TX Capitol S. Steps in Austin, TX 78711, 3:30pm

Tuesday, March 9 - Call in day to members of congress

On this day Sisters on the Planet (SOP) ambassadors will be storming capitol hill demanding that our Senators take bold action on climate change. Our Senators need to know that we will support them and are committed to do what is necessary. Given the positions that our Senators hold, we must rethink our action on this day. We will call in to our local Representatives and urge them to reach out to their colleagues in the Senate. We must allow our voices to be heard and speak out in solidarity with the SOP ambassadors.

Pledge to call your Representative

Our nation's future and our world are counting on the US Senate to take action. Please join us this week to do what is necessary and let your voices be heard. Take the pledge today and on Tuesday, we will send you talking points and calling information to get you connected with your Representative.
