Detroit Climate Can't Wait Rally
2025-02-15 12:00 - 14:00 | Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation, 1211 Trumbull, Detroit, MI, 48216, United States
We’re rallying for good union jobs. We’re rallying for justice. We’re rallying for our health. We’re rallying for the future of our climate — for our future. Will you join us?
On Saturday, February 15, we’re hosting the Climate Can’t Wait rally in Detroit to make it clear to Congress and the Trump administration that our climate is non-negotiable. In 2024 alone, the planet was hit with the hottest summer on record, as well as multiple hurricanes, wildfires, floods, and other devastating extreme weather events. The threat of these disasters is only growing – yet President-elect Trump is attacking the protections keeping people safe from extreme weather, cleaning up our air and water, and creating good union jobs.
That’s why, this February, we’re mobilizing the largest possible number of people to demand action on climate and environmental justice. RSVP to join us. Because our climate can’t wait – and neither will we.
Co-hosted by: Environmental Defense Fund Action, Great Lakes Business Network, Michigan Climate Action Network (MiCAN), Michigan League of Conservation Voters (MILCV), Moms Clean Air Force, and West Michigan Environmental Action Council (WMEAC)
