On September 8, in advance of the Global Climate Summit in San Francisco taking place Sept 12-14, thousands of Rise for Climate, Jobs, and Justice events will be held in cities and towns around the world to demand our local leaders commit to building a fossil free world that works for all of us.

There will be three events for Triangle Rise for Climate!!

1. September 8th, 350 Triangle is organizing the Rise for Climate Solutions Bio-Bus Tour highlighting climate solutions from household to community levels in Durham and Orange Counties from noon to 7 pm.  We'll leave at noon on a Greenway Transit Bio-Bus and tour six locations with solutions in our own communities, unleash our collective creative ideas and energy, and spark growth of many more local solutions we need to address the climate crisis.  Beginning at the Durham Station Transportation Center, the tour makes stops in Durham and Orange Counties, with interactive activities between stops and ends with a dinner and social at a home in rural Orange County. Come spend an afternoon with your fellow community members before returning by bus to our starting point.
