Converge for the Climate This Summer! Climate Action Gatherings in New York, Oregon and Virginia in late July/early Aug

This summer, Rising Tide (and many many friends and allies, including Rainforest Action Network) are converging around the country, and the world, to build a powerful grassroots movement to challenge the root causes of climate change.

You can join that movement at one of three action packed gatherings in North America this summer. The climate convergences are gathering places for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together to take direct action against the root causes of climate change while working to build a just and sustainable world. This year the U.S. convergences will take place alongside several similar gatherings in the UK, Germany, Australia, and beyond.

West Coast Convergence for Climate Action: July 28 – August 4, Eugene, OR

Southeast Convergence for Climate Action: August 5-11, Louisa County, VA (near Richmond)

Northeast Climate Confluence: July 27 – August 3, High Falls, NY

At the convergences there will be dozens of workshops and trainings, networking opportunities, and strategy sessions aimed at building a strong grassroots movement for climate justice.
