Youth Climate Day - Wednesday, April 18

Young people are demanding a safe planet
and strong climate action! 

Join CT youth for a day of action, as we call on state leaders to provide a strong Renewable Portfolio Standard, solar for all through "community shared solar," protection of net metering to benefit solar consumers financially, and restoration of Clean Energy Funds that were raided last year to close the  budget deficit.

Show up and speak out at our Youth Climate Action Day! Meet us at the Connecticut Legislative Office Building, 300 Capitol Avenue, Hartford. Join this youth-led outpouring of commitment and creativity. Bring a friend (or a dozen friends)! Spread the word and share on your social media! Send us a video sharing why you care!

The day includes a press event and time for lobbying supported by our experienced, passionate organizing team! 

We will provide detailed information about supporting legislation and how your legislators stand when you register! In addition, we are providing lobbying and media training before and during the event to ensure an accessible, fun day for everyone.

Time:  9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Location:  State Capitol Building, Hartford, CT
Contact: Anne Hulick at ahulick@cleanwater.org
