Program
HUGE SUCCESS!
Crowds reached 5,000 by the end of the day!
Families, labor and environmental leaders, students, public officials, musicians, and Minnesotans from all walks of life gathered at the State Capitol Mall on a beautiful, sunny day to show the world that we are part of the solution to global warming. Officials estimated a crowd of 5,000+ participated in the event. Thousands signed the “World's Largest Footprint Petition” to curb global warming.
The Global Warming Day of Action was part of 1,300 other Step It Up events organized in every state across the nation. We are calling on decision makers at all levels to take the steps needed to curb global warming. We need to take bold, comprehensive actions now that add up to an 80 percent cut in carbon emissions by 2050. How do we accomplish this goal? By stepping it up with the 2% Solution!
