paris-circle-badgeFrom November 30th through December 11th, 194 nations will meet in Paris for the most important United Nations climate conference that’s ever been held, and we need you to join us in putting pressure on the negotiators to reach an agreement that turns off fossil fuels and turns on clean energy!!

350.org and Avaaz have called for Global Climate Marches around the world the weekend before the Paris conference begins. As of now, there are more than 2,000 events scheduled. The new KC Climate Coalition will lead a march and rally on

Sunday, November 29th

President Obama’s rejection of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau’s rejection of the Northern Gateway tar sands pipeline show us that people power in the streets really can work, but it will take more people to build enough power to alter our current course toward climate catastrophe. 

We will gather at 2:45 at the JC Nichols Fountain on the Plaza, then at 3 pm begin marching (on the sidewalk, obeying traffic laws) through the Plaza along Ward Parkway to the pedestrian bridge over Brush Creek, where we will take a group photo to be sent to the Paris negotiators, along with photos from the thousands of other events worldwide.

From there, we’ll march (or drive) to All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church for a rally beginning at 4:30, at which Representative Emanuel Cleaver II will be our featured speaker. We’ll also have speakers from faith, labor, and other community groups. 

Please join us to send a strong message to Paris – and Washington!
