Dear Climate Friends,
The. Largest. Climate. March. Ever. The People’s Climate March is Sunday, September 21st 2014 in New York
City, corresponding with the Special Meeting on Climate Change at the United Nations.
This is your opportunity to support the Northern California People’s Climate Rally the same day at Oakland’s
Lake Merritt Amphitheater. We’re also planning major poster & bannering, street actions, etc. all over the Bay
Area on that day. All these events and actions will welcome families and children, and will definitely be family
friendly, often including games and activities for children. Our Bay Area Rally will be one of dozens of exciting
rallies that will be held all across the U.S. and worldwide.
Your support will make this major national event even more amazing. Here in the Bay Area, we have dozens of
sponsors already. Experienced leaders are participating (and more are needed) to build on the momentum of
earlier climate events that have brought thousands of people together for climate action in the Bay Area since
2012.
So we’re inviting <you/ your organization> to collaborate with us on this exciting event, at one of the levels
described below. Your <individual name /organization’s name> on our materials strengthens our fundraising
efforts and heightens our appeals for climate justice.
