Description: Spend some time to attend a public climate-related rally. You will signal your support, learn from others, and get a boost of energy from the experience.

Tips:

• A quick search online can help you find local groups or rallies happening in your area.

• Choose a rally that is likely to have a strong impact, i.e., where you are likely to be seen by decision-makers and other people who are going about their daily activities.

• Ask friends and family into joining you. Make plans for a meal together afterwards or organize a picnic.

• Bring chalk to put slogans on the sidewalk.

• Take water!

• If possible, take public transportation there.

• Be kind, pleasant, and courteous to others while making them aware (on the train, while walking, at the site) of why you are doing this. We’re talking a rally here, not a protest. Rally them to join you!

• Enjoy the camaraderie! It is good being among your own.
