Join us Sunday, September 17 on a bus to and from NYC

United Nations Secretary General (UNSG) Antonio Guterres has announced a climate summit this September in New York City where entry will be offered only to country leaders who have committed to a fossil fuel phase out. This is a critical moment for mass mobilization that could move President Biden to take a stand against the fossil fuel industry ahead of the 2024 election. On Sunday, September 17, 2023, tens of thousands of people will march in NYC calling on President Biden to be a true climate leader and end fossil fuels. 

We are organizing a bus from Richmond, VA, with a stop in College Park, MD to NYC so CCANers in our region can join the march.

(There will also be a separate bus leaving directly from DC. If you live in DC or the nearby suburbs, please use this link instead to sign-up for a spot on a bus organized by our partners at Earth Day DC.)

  • Depart Richmond, VA: 4:00 AM, Sunday September 17
