Gerry, 
Join 350MKE for the Milwaukee Rally for the Trial of the Century.
 
Join us at the Milwaukee Federal Courthouse, 517 E Wisconsin Ave, from 12 Noon to 1:00pm on Monday, Oct. 29th. We will gather in the area of the front steps for a News Conference and speeches in support of the young plaintiffs in the historic Juliana v. United States court case.
  
  RSVP to join us in Milwaukee! 

Be a part of the #TrialoftheCentury and show your support for the young plaintiffs in the historic Juliana v. United States court case. Our future and especially the future of our children and young people depend on a climate system that will sustain human life. Let's tell our government that it must prepare and implement a National Climate Recovery Plan to protect our basic and most fundamental rights!

When people look back at humanity’s effort to stop climate change, they’ll remember October 29th, 2018, the day when 21 youth will confront the federal government at trial in open court. These youth, hailing from all corners of the U.S., are directly affected by their government's actions that are causing climate change right now. They are the plaintiffs in Juliana v. U.S., and on Monday, Oct. 29th they will march into a federal courthouse––with America standing behind them––to demand a National Climate Recovery Plan and a safe climate future.
 
To win their case, these brave youth need your help. Will you stand behind them?

At Our Children’s Trust, they have a plan. The 21 remarkable young people are leading the way. The best scientists in the world are set to testify to the grave threats posed by our rapidly changing climate. Leading experts have mapped out what a national climate recovery plan could look like. And they have a brilliant litigation team to make this case inside the courthouse.

Now, they need you––youth and adults everywhere––to stand in solidarity with these young plaintiffs outside courthouses in every state on the first day of trial. We need you to mobilize your community on October 29th.

You know the stakes. The United States is burning fossil fuels at an unprecedented rate and it’s changing our atmosphere, harming humanity and threatening our future. The federal government has known about this danger for over half a century. Alternative forms of energy could have been encouraged, implemented and promoted. The Executive branch of our government could have moved us away from fossil fuels. They could have told us the truth. But they didn’t.
 
Instead, our leaders made a choice to double down on destruction. From permitting fossil fuel infrastructure to extracting oil and gas from our public lands, Presidents––from both sides of the aisle––and their agency heads have knowingly caused and exacerbated the greatest threat that human civilization has ever seen. Equally complicit, Congress too has completely failed us for decades despite having clear scientific information regarding the urgency and need to act. Our window of opportunity to fix this crisis is closing fast and cannot be done at the ballot box alone.
 
Thankfully, this is not over. The entire story is not yet written.  The voices of the youth are about to be heard in the “Trial of the Century” beginning on October 29th.  Make no mistake, victory will not be easy. Meaningful progress never is. But the status quo cannot stand.
 
When these plaintiffs walk into the courtroom on October 29th, we want the world to realize that it’s not just 21 young people demanding a Climate Recovery Plan - it’s America demanding a Climate Recovery Plan! To do so, we need your help to mobilize support outside federal courthouses in all 50 states.

We need leaders in each state to help us mobilize your community on October 29th, and we need each of you to turn out at your state’s rally!
  
  RSVP to join us in Milwaukee! 

Thanks!
