Forward on Climate will only be the largest climate rally in history and put enough pressure on our leaders if every single person who can make it turns out — but sometimes traveling all the way to Washington, D.C., just isn’t in the cards.
If you absolutely can’t make it to Washington on February 17, attend a rally in San Diego at Mission Bay Park.
When
Sunday, February 17, 1-3 p.m.
Where
Mission Bay Park Visitors Center, 2688 East Mission Bay Drive, San Diego, CA 921095 and I-5 overpass
What
Rally with speakers, giant banners, singing telegram for President Obama, and more.
Sponsored by
SanDiego350.org, Citizens Climate Lobby, Sierra Club San Diego, and other organizations

Join us for a San Diego action in support of 350.org, Sierra Club and other organizations’ protest of the Keystone XL Pipeline in Washington DC on February 17, 2013 (Presidents Day).
We want the world to know that San Diegans agree: we’ve got to stop using fossil fuels if we want to beat climate change. We only have one planet. The time is now. We can only do that if there are many of us present.
Speakers on February 17 include Mayor Bob Filner (City of San Diego), Dr. Jeffrey Severinghaus (Scripps Institution of Oceanography), Lori Saldaña (former Assemblywoman and Chair of Sierra Club San Diego), Rev. Dr. Beth Johnson (Palomar Unitarian Universalist Fellowship), and Elizabeth Perez-Halperin (green business owner and veteran). Music by Charlie Imes. Special singing telegram for President Obama by the Occupella Chorus.
