2018 People's Climate March: Rise for Climate, Jobs, and Justice

The 4th annual People’s Climate March is made up of marches across the globe, instead of one giant march in New York or DC, there will be marches across the globe, including five events in Wisconsin.  Join us at one!

Southeast Wisconsin:
RiSE issuesJoin us as we call for bold climate action, racial and economic justice, and more!  Our planet, livelihoods, and democracy are under attack - it’s time for bold leadership to reclaim our future.  We’ll call for We Energies to go coal-free and for Milwaukee to adopt a plan to get to 100% clean energy with a jobs program that ensures the jobs created stay in the most economically distressed neighborhoods.  We’ll also call to solutions to the lack of transit access, lead pipes, and more!
