Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin's latest attack on climate is now official. On July 31, the Dept. of Environmental Quality published the regulation which repeals the requirement for Virginia to participate in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
Youngkin initiated this effort when he assumed office in 2022, and we fought him every step of the way! Help us continue the fight for climate action, and RALLY AGAINST THE REPEAL. Stand in solidarity for people, planet and climate action at the location closest to you.
What: RALLY AGAINST THE RGGI REPEAL. Each rally location will feature speakers, skits and chants.
When: Monday, August 28 at 12 noon
Where:
- 202 N 9th St, Richmond, VA 23219, corner of 9th St. and Grace St.

Why: The climate crisis is driving the record-breaking heat waves and the Canadian wildfires that have been clouding the skies and polluting the air all summer – and harming Virginians. So we need to reduce carbon emissions as quickly as possible. We'll keep taking to the streets until the Governor takes climate action seriously.
