Join the Global Shoestrike for Climate, August 29th!
August 29, 2020 at 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
This is an invitation to participate in the Global Day of Action by putting your shoes out for Climate Justice and Climate Emergency Resolution.
Shoe strikes are being held worldwide organized by various Climate Groups on August 29th to raise awareness of the need for Climate Justice and to demand that elected officials at every level of government take immediate action to address the Climate Emergency and the social and economic impacts of Climate Change and the COVID-19 pandemic. These two unprecedented crises require unprecedented action to protect our citizens and our planet. The “shoe strike” is a COVID-19 safe demonstration without the need for a large in-person gathering.
People interested in donating before the shoe strike can bring a pair of shoes and little signs to 813 Paxton Villa Ct, Novato CA 94947, or feel free and bring your shoes/signs to the Novato City Hall, 901 Sherman Avenue Novato, California 94945, at the day of action.
While 350Marin and Green Novato want each pair to represent a single person, people can bring more than one pair of shoes if they are dropping off shoes for another family member or friend. We will have a few people holding signs on the street of De Long Avenue standing far enough apart during the Climate Action. We ask people who would like to join the protest on the street to email and wait for confirmation in order to make sure we can maintain social distancing.
People that would like their shoes and signs back after the protest should place their name and contact information on each shoe or sign that is left for organizers or pick them up at the end of the event at the City Hall.
We’re looking forward to a great showing! If you can, please RSVP below so we can get a sense who’s coming. Thanks! Also, if you’d like to join or create a Shoe Strike on your own or with a few others in Marin on August 29, you can register your own event here:
