Chicago Climate March with Fridays For Future
September 15th 2023 at 4pm
As people left work in downtown Chicago, climate activists converged at Pritzker Park then marched past big banks demanding Biden take bold action to #EndFossilFuels. Fridays for Future Chicago, the youth led organization who hosted this march, invited a coalition of environmental organizations and individuals from all backgrounds to join. This Chicago March of 200 people, was part of the bigger global mobilization calling on world leaders to commit to phasing out fossil fuels at the UN Climate Ambition Summit on September 20th 2023.
WE DEMAND FOR BIDEN TO:
1. DECLARE A CLIMATE EMERGENCY
2. STOP APPROVING NEW FOSSIL FUEL PROJECTS
3. PHASE OUT FOSSIL FUEL DRILLING
4. EQUITABLE TRANSITION TO RENEWABLE ENERGY
