National Student Day of Action to Fight Climate Change Injustice
April 4, 2008
Washington, DC

The National Student Day of Action to Fight Climate Change will bring students together from across the nation to work with their Senators on halting climate change in its tracks. This is a student-led initiative – organized by students and for students. Students will converge on George Washington University’s campus to receive basic preparation before heading to Capitol Hill to meet with their Senators. Students will lobby for a legislative agenda that combats climate change and recognizes the way climate change will disproportionately affect populations in the developing world.

The first ever National Student Day of Action happened on September 19, 2007; eighty college students from 17 colleges and universities descended on Washington to meet with 45 Senators, fighting for equity in the Farm Bill. That battle is still being fought between the Bush administration and Congress, but it appears that our efforts did help inspire some measurable changes in the bill.

Join us on April 4 in Washington DC to fight for climate change justice.

See our website to register and for some useful documents to prep for the lobby day. As the lobby day approaches, we will begin to circulate more documents and talking points.
