On September 20th, Congress gets back to DC. And from there we only have one week until they're set to vote on bills that could be the largest climate investment this country has ever seen. That's why we're mobilizing to take action and make sure Democrats pass a bold climate agenda while they vote for the reconciliation package: a fully funded Civilian Climate Corps and bold investment in renewable energy, public housing, transit, and schools. We will demonstrate that we will not stop, we will not back down, we will not quit, until we win the first major legislative victory for our movement.
Join us at Tate Plaza on Monday, September 24th at 4 pm for a rally with guest speakers & march up towards Downtown Athens stopping at the Arch on the way before making our journey to City Hall. The Athen's Sunrise Hub will be hosting our event in collaboration with the Georgia Climate Coalition's Friday's for Future march.
We will be targeting Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Last fall, we voted in record turnout and elected a new wave of progressives, protected the House, flipped the Senate, and delivered Joe Biden a decisive victory. Now is our moment to demand Democrats deliver for our generation, so join us in the streets. Congress: Bring It Home!
