Long Island Earth Day 2020 Program - Climate Action Now!

Long Island Earth Day 2020 – Climate Action Now! will present a live-streamed Virtual program featuring a dozen major local and regional environmental, peace and justice groups. September 21 is the United Nations designated International Day of Peace and the start of Climate Week! Help identify and initiate activities that will demonstrate our connection to and love for the Earth, our concern about the deadly harm we are doing to her, and the many ways in which our personal and joint actions can foster healing change. Get tapped in! There is no Planet B!　

The Virtual program will be live-streamed as a Zoom webinar, co-hosted by Deseri Tseptis, LI Alliance for Peaceful Alternatives and Peace Action-NYS and Saad Amer, Founder of Plus1 Vote. Our hope is to tap the energy and awareness of as many people as possible, that they may participate and commit to actions for the wellbeing of Earth.

Working toward restoration and protection, goals include the education and involvement of people caring for the Earth through the celebration of her bounty and beauty, recognition of her fragility, and making commitments to needed reversal of catastrophic, human induced circumstances, the current Climate Reality. Our call is to action, especially Climate Action, focusing on Earth’s restoration and health.
