Climate Resolution Rally
February 22 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Please join us in celebrating the Arlington County Board’s adoption of a Climate Resolution. This resolution recognizes the threat of climate change to the planet and the need to develop effective, just, and equitable policies to combat the climate crisis. To commemorate this milestone, we will gather in the County Board room (3rd floor) to watch the adoption of the resolution. We will then convene in Courthouse Plaza (by the Metro entrance) for a celebration rally. In the event of inclement weather, the celebration will be moved indoors by the information desk. Please bring handheld signs to support Arlington climate action!
Note: All times are estimates based on current information available from the County Board office. The exact timing of the resolution vote and celebration rally are subject to change.
Free. RSVP requested, but not required. Feel free to come to all or part of the rally, bring a loved one and signs of appreciation (handheld)!
Schedule: The resolution vote is the first item on the agenda after the consent items, and we estimate it will occur between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. After the vote, we will gather for a short program and celebration outside on Courthouse Plaza concluding at 12:00 p.m. If your time is limited, you are welcome to come for either the board vote or the celebration rally.
Speakers Needed: please also consider signing up to speak during this agenda item for a two- or three-minute slot about why addressing climate change is important to you Details on how to sign up are available on the County’s website.
