SUMMARY:Action Hour: Stop the theft of our public lands & waters
DESCRIPTION:Our public lands belong to all of us. These are the forests you hiked as a kid. The river your family fishes every summer. The national monument you visited with friends on vacation. These irreplaceable landscapes and waters are under attack by corrupt politicians who want to sell them off to the highest bidder\, one backroom deal at a time. \nThat’s why on Wednesday\, July 29\, we’re hosting a virtual hour of action with Sierra Club’s Executive Director Loren Blackford to protect our public lands together. \nJoin Us! \nDuring our action hour together\, we’ll: \nGet the scoop: Hear from Sierra Club’s Executive Director Loren Blackford about what’s happening and how we can effectively fight back to protect our lands and waters.\nTake action: Learn why we’re calling our members of Congress\, how to call effectively\, and watch a live preview so you know exactly what to say. Then\, we’ll make our calls together.\nConnect and grow: During our short breakout session\, learn from other advocates from around the country\, and discuss how we can strengthen our movement. Because the more of us who show up\, the harder we are to ignore!

SUMMARY:Too Hot to Learn Rally
DESCRIPTION:As students head back to school\, Philadelphia-area families are confronting a new reality: climate change is making summers hotter and longer\, with dangerous heat lasting well into the school year. Students and teachers in sweltering classrooms are forced to dismiss early or go remote because of extreme heat. Furthermore\, federal attacks on clean energy and climate protections are moving us in the wrong direction by driving up energy costs and worsening climate chaos. \n  \nJoin us for the Back to School but Too Hot to Learn Rally \nSaturday\, August 22\, 2026\n1:00 pm\nPhiladelphia City Hall (North Apron) \n  \nGlenn Hurricane Schwartz and Councilmember Nic O’Rourke will join educators and youth advocates to call attention to the growing risks climate change poses to students\, as well as the urgent need for policies to protect their health and future. We will drive home the message that it’s time to invest in clean energy\, strengthen climate resilience\, and put the health and safety of our communities ahead of polluters. All attendees 18 and under will receive a back to school “cooling kit” with tools to keep them safe on hot days.  \nRSVP HERE
