After Rise for Climate — join hundreds of thousands of people around the world to take part in simple but powerful local actions for a Fossil Free world.

Sign up below to receive a pack with everything you’ll need after 8th September to grow the local climate movement where you live and join the calls for urgent action.

Make it easy for people to stay involved
Take some time before and after 8 September to plan at least one follow-up event that you can invite people to straight after Rise for Climate. Being quick to send out report back emails and photos/videos on your social media channels will help capture people's attention while there's still a buzz after Rise.
One month later, starting 8th October, we'll be inviting you and all these new people to take part in a simple, local action again.
