Activists, students, and residents rallied for climate action during the Newton Democratic City Committee’s Earth Day event. 

We are finding ourselves at the crux of a sociopolitical and ecological tipping point, where we need to pressure the government to take definitive action against climate change. Although we don’t quite have groups of hippies acting as our guides, that does not mean we should throw in the towel because we think the government won’t listen or that we are too young or inexperienced to incite change.

In celebration of Earth Day, Climate Justice at Boston College, along with student groups from 12 other universities, took the celebration online.

UGBC hosted the second annual Earth Day Fair on Stokes Lawn on Friday. The Fair featured several student organizations, like EcoPledge.
