We've got an amazing opportunity to stand up in solidarity with people all over the world to demand climate action – and it's just around the corner!

This coming Saturday, September 20th, as world leaders gather for the UN climate summit in New York, Canadians and Americans, First Nations and Native American tribes, and all the diverse communities of the Salish Sea will gather at the Peace Arch to send a unified and clear message: it's time for REAL action to defend the Salish Sea and our global climate from fossil fuel development.

Climate Change Knows No Borders:
Defence of the Salish Sea is without boundaries
