December 9th, 12-3pm
Two Oregon youth from Eugene, Kelsey Juliana and Olivia Chernaik, filed suit against the state of Oregon for violating their constitutional and public trust rights and are seeking a court order to compel the state to take science-based action to address the climate crisis and prevent catastrophic and irreversible impacts.
Last year, Kelsey and Olivia appealed district court Judge Karsten Rasmussen's adverse decision in their climate change lawsuit.
We're excited to announce that on December 9, 2016, oral arguments on their appeal are scheduled before the Oregon Court of Appeals. We invite you to a rally outside the courthouse to support the youth.
Afterward, there's a chance you can join us inside to watch the oral arguments. Besides the courtroom, the arguments will be broadcast in an overflow room, but that overflow room only holds 50 people. So we can't promise everyone will be able to watch the arguments. But in any event, you're attendance at the rally will be appreciated!
