Join us on Saturday, April 20, 2024 from 4-7pm on 14th Street at the National Mall in DC for a Climate Concert!

This Earth Day weekend we are coming together to continue the fight to End the Era of Fossil Fuels! Communities around the globe are plagued by severe storms and weather events, and politicians have been ignoring the scientific warnings for decades.

But we have the solutions. We know that we need an immediate just transition to renewable energy. We’re fighting back against green washing and false solutions that fail to address the root cause of the climate crisis. We demand that giant fossil fuel companies be held accountable and pay for the harm they have caused. Our future lies in the will to pass bold policies and make systemic change.

We are gathering this Earth Day weekend with music and art to continue this fight, to strengthen our movement and hear from youth voices. Join us on Saturday, April 20, 2024 from 4-7pm on 14th Street at the National Mall in DC for a Concert to End Fossil Fuels, featuring local bands across the DMV area and empowering speeches from youth and community activists!

We will also be hearing from youth in the constitutional climate lawsuits around the country, such as Juliana vs. Gov and Held vs. Montana as part of Our Children's Trust!

RSVP ASAP and bring all your friends and family to this fun event for a better future! Together, we will create a better world - we are the ones we have been waiting for.

On the 80th anniversary of the World Bank and IMF, people from around the world are coming together to say that it’s time to put people and planet first and decolonize and decarbonize our global economy.

While finance ministers from around the world meet inside the World Bank, we will be on the streets, joining forces with allies from the Global South to amplify calls for an end to fossil fuel finance, debt cancellation, and climate justice.

Join us!

I’ll Be There!

We’re calling on the World Bank to align its lending with its recent climate commitments and phase out financing for industrial animal agriculture.

When: Friday, April 19, 2024, 11:30am-2pm

Where: Meet us at the World Bank Visitor Entrance at 11:30am where we'll deliver ~250,000 citizen petitions and an open letter with ~200 organizational signatories to a World Bank representative.

At 12pm, we'll walk across the street to Edward R Murrow Park to rally and march with people coming to town from around the globe!

Who: Join the Stop Financing Factory Farming campaign (at the Big Shift climate rally) to "Decarbonize and Decolonize" and pressure the World Bank to stop financing factory farms.

Why: Development banks gives loans for industrial animal agriculture in some of the most threatened, biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. Not only is factory farming a huge source of air & water pollution, animal suffering, human rights abuse, and deforestation — it’s also one of the biggest sources of global greenhouse gas emissions: more than all cars and planes combined!

Unlike fossil fuels, which most people understand as the key driver of climate change, the connection between industrial animal agriculture and climate is almost always overlooked.

Hear speakers from the Global South explain how the World Bank is impacting their communities and how it can do better.

Tell IMF & World Bank: 80 Years of financial colonialism is enough! On Friday, April 19th, the Debt for Climate movement is mobilizing around the world to demand debt cancellation for the Global South during the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Spring Meetings in Washington, DC. Support the fight for global economic & climate justice; join our direct action bringing our message straight to the delegates going into one of the most central sessions of the IMF & World Bank meetings.

Meet us at 7:30am on Friday, April 19th at 1700 K St NW, Washington, DC 20006.

Join us for the DC premier of the Fisherman and the Banker at Landmark’s E Street Cinema!
