April 14
This April 14th, tens of thousands of Americans will gather all across the country at meaningful, iconic places to call for action on climate change. We will hike, bike, climb, walk, swim, kayak, canoe, or simply sit or stand with banners of our call to action.

There are already 1367 events planned in 50 states across the country!

Find the event in your area here.........................the World is counting on you!

With only eight hours left until April 14th, Step It Up is skyrocketing! Actions have already begun around the country. The Rainforest Action Network is hosting events today in Boston, New York, Houston, Fort Worth, Detroit, Sarasota, and more to stop banks from funding climate change. In New Orleans, demonstrators are walking down to the levees to send their message to Congress: this is what is at stake, it's time for serious action.

And with Step it Up about to go into full force, our movement and message is making headlines around the world. Just over an hour ago, we were picked up by the Associated Press and are now featured in (get ready): CNN, MSNBC, Good Morning America, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, Seattle Post Intelligencer, Houston Chronicle, Detroit Free Press, San Francisco Chronicle, The Register Mail, Worcester Telgram, Charlotte Observer, and many, many more.

Back in January, in a letter on our website, Bill McKibben wrote, "Help us start a movement." You have done that and so much more. Here in Washington, Congress is beginning to feel the heat. Tomorrow, with your help, we're going to amp up the pressure even more.

It's official: the climate movement is here.
