Cliffside Climate Action Updates
The Cliffside Climate Action Rally on Monday, April 20th in Charlotte, NC was a huge success! Thanks to everyone who turned out to say "NO" to Cliffside and business as usual - we had ~300 people total and 44 brave individuals risked arrest. SPECIAL THANKS TO GLORIA REUBEN and ALL of our fabulous speakers!! Thanks also to those that called into Duke Energy and Governer Perdue's office.
Please take a minute to call Governor Perdue and Duke Energy and tell them to "STOP CLIFFSIDE!"
