STEP IT UP
The march this weekend was sweet - we, with the support of some Middletown residence, totally stepped it up. Here are some cool pics to prove it.

STEP IT UP!
Come to the STEP IT UP MARCH!
This April 14th, tens of thousands of Americans will gather all across the country at meaningful, iconic places to call for action on climate change. We will hike, bike, climb, walk, swim, kayak, canoe, or simply sit or stand with banners of our call to action:
STEP IT UP, CONGRESS! CUT CARBON 80% BY 2050!
On Saturday, April 14 at 3 pm EON will host a march as part of the national STEP IT UP campaign, calling for climate action now.
The march will start at Harbor Park, by the Harbor Park Restaurant (80 Harbor Dr.) and culminate at the field on Williams Street above the power plant where we'll make a huge banner to show our support.
At 2 pm we will gather at the Science Center lobby to make signs for the march, and at 2:45 we will head down to the park. Or you can meet us at the park at 3!
So to sum up:
THIS SATURDAY
2 pm sign-making
2:45 pm walking down to the park
3 pm MARCHING!
COME AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR CLIMATE ACTION!
