October 22 – SB Youth & Elders Climate Rally and March

Students from UCSB Environmental Affairs Board and Sunrise Movement Santa Barbara are co-sponsoring a Halloween-themed climate rally and march on Friday, October 22 along with the Society of Fearless Grandmothers-SB, Santa Barbara County Action Network (SBCAN), 350 SB and Women’s March SB.

 

Global warming threatens the future of young people all over the world. UCSB students say, “We want to be scared on Halloween, not scared for our futures!” They are rising up to send the message to elected officials and adults in power: take action NOW to meet the climate emergency. They have a particular message for Governor Newsom: STOP approving new fossil fuel projects. And for California electeds: STOP taking fossil fuel donations! Everyone, young and old, is invited to join the march next Friday.

 

What: Climate Rally and March in Santa Barbara

When: Friday, October 22 4:30pm – 5:30pm

Where: Meet at Santa Barbara County Courthouse, corner of Anapamu & Anacapa Sts., Santa Barbara, CA

Dress in your best climate-related Halloween costume or come as you are–a climate activist. We expect to see some ghouls who push fossil fuels, some suns positively radiating solar power, and who knows what else!
