Date & Time: Sunday, September 17, 2023 at 11:00 AM

Location: Old Sacramento, 1100 Front St, Sacramento, CA 95814

Bus & travel info to join the protest in our state's capital is below.

This protest is part of the March to End Fossil Fuels in NYC to protest the climate emergency during the UN Climate Summit 2023: https://www.endfossilfuels.us/


We call on all Californians to gather at the state Capitol to demand that our leaders, Biden and Newsom, stop permitting fossil fuels, make a plan to phase out oil and gas and declare a climate emergency. Biden continues to approve fossil fuel projects on federal lands, outpacing Trump's permits. The Newsom administration has issued over a thousand re-drilling permits, with over half within 1km (3200ft) from homes, schools and hospitals.

This family-friendly action will feature a giant puppet show, carnival games, kayaks in the river, performers and speakers who will share how you can get involved in ending the era of Fossil Fuels and building a better future together.
