Join us for #EarthDayLive, a 72-hour massive livestream featuring activists, scientists, celebrities, and musicians.
April 22 marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Normally, it’s a day for gathering—people who care about the future of our world come together across the country to demand climate action through marches, rallies, and actions.
As we continue to do our part by social distancing and staying home to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in communities near and far, thinking about the future can feel overwhelming and scary. This pandemic is exposing deep systemic inequalities in the US, as millions of people are struggling to pay their bills, stay healthy and survive. While we may not be able to come together in the streets this year, we cannot allow this crisis to stop us from raising our voice and taking powerful, collective action.
While we’re all focused on COVID-19, climate change still represents one of the biggest threats our world currently faces and now is the time to speak out to ensure we have strong leadership and a government that will protect our planet for future generations to come.
That’s why, this year, we’re taking Earth Day online. We are reimagining what a social movement can look like in the digital age, finding new and creative ways to get our message heard. In partnership with youth leaders, indigenous advocates, and climate campaigners, we’re hosting #EarthDayLive, a 72-hour massive livestream featuring stories, conversations, and performances from activists, scientists, celebrities, and musicians.
