Join the Movement for Environmental Justice April 22 – 24!

This year, as the entire world is impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, Earth Day has a special significance.

Join SEIU Local 99 members as we commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day and come together with working people around the world for solidarity and inspiration as we face this crisis together.

With the COVID-19 outbreak upending our lives, how we think about our health, our environment, our economy and the politics around those things, is beginning to shift. Two things are clearer now – it’s all connected and the science matters. This crisis has shown that the way we treat each other and our natural world has everything to do with our well-being, and it’s shown us just how vulnerable we are as a species.

Earth Day celebrations normally take place in person, but this year, due to “safer-at-home” orders, join us for online events taking place over three days.  Just because we can’t meet in the streets, doesn’t mean we can’t fight!
