On September 24, concerned citizens around the world will come together in every nation on earth to demonstrate the breadth and depth of the global movement against fossil fuels. The diversity of events will illustrate the diversity of interests coming together around one common goal. There’ll be marches large and small, bike parades that deliver petitions and encircle coal plants, punk rock festivals, chamber music recitals—even a kite-powered protest on the beach.

In Serbia, activists will take their canoes and paddle around in a 350 formation on the rivers close to Obrenovac, a city notorious for the biggest dirty coal power plant in the region. In Sao Paulo, local greens are staging—what else?—an Eco-Carnival. (Check out the full slate of global events.)

This video lays out the inspiring vision behind the campaign: take ninety seconds to watch it, and then share it with everyone you know.

Now, check out 350.org for complete information on participating in the September 24 actions and other related steps you can take to help build an effective global movement to solve the climate crisis.

Support The Nation’s June Fundraising Campaign

With the midterm elections now firmly upon us, the question is whether Democratic candidates will do more than merely occupy ballot lines as mild alternatives to the red-hot crisis that is Donald Trump.

As Trump spends over $1 billion a day on a globally destabilizing war on Iran and admits that he doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation,” millions across the country are struggling with the surging costs of essentials. Democrats must seize this moment and advance bold, small-“d” populist ideas—not settle for cynical caution that once again snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

The Nation elevates progressive ideas, movements, and elected officials achieving real change across the country into the national conversation. At the same time, our journalists are exposing how crypto and AI-funded super PACs are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to knock out candidates they oppose, reporting on the devastating impact of the Supreme Court’s evisceration of the Voting Rights Act, and sounding the alarm on attempts by red states to quickly redraw electoral maps, disenfranchising Southern Black voters.

We can play this critical role because of support from readers like you. This June, we’re raising $20,000 to power The Nation’s independent journalism in the run-up to November’s immensely consequential elections.

It’s in our power to build a more just society, and your support at this critical moment brings us closer to that bold vision. I hope you’ll donate today.

Onward,
