Rally & March in Support of the Trial of the Century

Past event
Oct 28, 2018, 2 to 4 PM

Join children, parents and people of all ages in support of the Trial of the Century. The local solidarity action is Sunday, October 28 from 2 to 4 PM on the Town Green in Chester, VT.

The rally and march is on the eve of the trial Juliana v. Government going to court. Twenty-one young people will confront the federal government about climate change. They will demand a science-based National Climate Recovery Plan that will end the reign of fossil fuels and lead to swift decarbonization of the environment.

The rally is a family friendly event. Please bring signs if you have made them.  It begins with time for coloring signs, blowing giant bubbles, and group singing. There will be a few short speeches, then a short march through the center of town. It will end with more music and a group photo.

The event organizer, Cheryl Joy Lipton, explained that the reason to have the rally in Chester is because a group of people interested in future actions related to solving climate change is forming. It's time to talk with each other and take action together.

Please park along Main Street, School Street, at the Elementary School, Cobleigh Street, etc. instead of along Common Street, to leave the spaces available for the businesses there.
