Help Young Vermonters Create a Brighter Future
As a Vermonter, we know you care deeply about the future of our planet and the health of our democracy. We also know you care very deeply about the future of Vermont’s youth.
Over the past few months, students and teachers from over a dozen Vermont high schools and colleges have given up their Sunday afternoons to plan a major day of action to promote greater political action on climate change.
We are calling this event the Youth Rally for the Planet. You can check out our plan for the day on our website - http://www.youthlobby.org/rallyfortheplanet/.
We could really use your help to make this day a reality!
We already have hundreds of students signed up to attend the rally. These students will march together in solidarity, learn more about climate change through educational booths on the Statehouse lawn, and stand together to listen to speakers and performers demand greater political action on climate change.
We are also trying to organize a keynote performance by the world famous youth activist Xiuhtezcatl Tonatiuh. Xiuhtezcatl comes to us from Boulder, Colorado and we need to secure $4,500 to bring him, along with his brother and a chaperone. Xiuhtezcatl has already modified his schedule to allow this visit to happen, but we need to purchase plane tickets and pay for lodging by April 14th.
Check out the video below to see Xiuhtezcatl Tonatiuh in action!

Please Donate Whatever You Can!
We are asking for community members to donate whatever amount they can to help bring Xiuhtezcatl to Vermont to inspire the next generation of climate change activists.
It only takes a few minutes and any amount helps...$5, $10, $20, $100 - Whatever you can donate will get us that much closer to our goal.
