at 238 9th St. NE, WDC, on Fri., Apr. 28 from 11 AM to 1 PM. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/206055159891814/.
Are
you participating in the People's Climate March and also have a privilege
identity that helps buffer you from the impacts of climate and economic
injustice? Resource Generation is excited to bring knowledge about organizing
around class and race, and know there are many privileged identities that
impact one's participation in direct action. Organizers encourage others to
bring resources, but will be focusing on race and class for our short time
together.

regulations to reduce leaks of methane gas, and sought to defund climate
science research and the EPA. Join PSR at 11 AM, as the march steps off

“One
is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems
impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through
nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total
inability of violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
