On September 8, we will rise. Will you join us?
The Oregon Sierra Club, in partnership with the Oregon Just Transition Alliance, invites YOU to join us on September 8th and Rise for Climate, Jobs, and Justice in Oregon!
Rise for Climate, Jobs and Justice Community Gathering in Portland
Who: A movement of thousands, led by Oregon Just Transition Alliance, a statewide network of Oregon’s frontline communities.
Where: GlenHaven Park (NE 82nd & Siskiyou Ave)
When: Saturday, September 8th, 2018
Time: 12pm-4pm
RSVP on Facebook here!
Our mobilization will be one of hundreds across the world, while elected and private sector leaders are gathered at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco to discuss and announce their commitments to address climate change. We know what those commitments need to achieve: a fast, fair and just transition to 100% renewable energy. A world that puts people, justice, and the planet before profits. We rise for climate action to tell the world that the time has come to hold our leaders accountable.
The Oregon Just Transition Alliance has endorsed this platform for the event:
-
NO to new fossil fuel infrastructure, like the Jordan Cove LNG project.
-
NO to hateful policies like Measure 105.
-
YES to community-led solutions, like the Portland Clean Energy Fund.
Here in Oregon, impacted communities, workers, and climate-minded cities and townships are already leading the way. We are demanding that leaders commit to strong solutions anchored in economic and racial justice. And we leverage our growing power to make sure those leaders honor their commitments.

We call upon Oregon’s environmental, labor, racial, social, and economic justice communities and allies to stand with us and support the leadership of most-impacted people. A strong US Climate movement DOES exist, and we’re fighting to fix a broken, unsustainable economy. Here in Oregon, impacted communities, workers, and climate-minded cities and townships are already leading the way. Our communities are identifying solutions that will address the climate realities faced by frontline communities. We demand that leaders commit to strong solutions anchored in economic and racial justice. And we leverage our growing power to make sure those leaders honor their commitments
Eight weeks later, millions more will take those demands to the polls, making Climate, Jobs, and Justice deciding issues in the mid-term elections and beyond.
Our communities, our planet, and our future depend on a climate movement that reaches all corners of this country. To change everything, it takes everyone — and with your help we can build a sustainable world for generations to come. Let us Rise, together!
