Global Climate Strike: PKC Event in Aurora | Friday, Sept. 24, 2021
We are meeting at Simmons Park, 1191 E Indian Trail, Aurora, IL 60505, 3pm to 6pm, as part of the global climate strike on Friday Sept. 24th.
Speakers will talk about what can be done locally, as well as the state and federal level to address the looming climate crisis. The idea of a climate strike is that people take time off of work or school to draw attention the climate crisis.
Bring a friend and sign while we rally together to call attention to this crisis.
Welcome to the Progressives of Kane County.
We endeavor to represent progressive values throughout Kane County and to use these to drive legislative and electoral successes.
