On 3.28.19, more than 150 youth and adult allies with S4CA will deliver non-partisan climate action resolutions from across the country to every Congressional office. Together, these resolutions send a clear, assertive signal: the education sector will no longer be a silent witness to Congressional climate neglect which harms our students and threatens future generations. Congress has a moral imperative to act quickly and boldly on climate to protect students and future generations.Your financial support will help amplify the will of school boards, student councils, PTAs, and educator's associations for sane and humane national climate policies to protect our students.
