Because of inclimate weather, this event is postponed to Sat Sept 5.

Join us to declare: GLOBAL CLIMATE EMERGENCY EVERYWHERE !!

We are holding a shoes strike in Arlington in collaboration with Arlington Fridays for Future (FFF) to launch our Emerency Everywhere campaign to pressure the Town of Arlington to start actively telling the truth about the crisis.
