On September 8, at 10:00 am, climate-concerned citizens of Kentuckiana will come together at Louisville Metro Hall to demand our local leaders commit to building a fossil fuel free city that puts people first. Ours will be one of thousands of rallies being held that day in cities and towns around the world making the same demand.
In particular, we will present Louisville Metro Council with a draft resolution that will call for a community-wide goal of 100% renewable energy by a certain date.
We commend Mayor Fischer and his team for the concrete steps being taken to address climate change impacts in Louisville; the work is ongoing. However, we feel the wheel is turning too slowly in light of the threat. So, no more delays: it’s time for a fast and fair transition to 100% renewable energy for all Metro citizens.
However the climate challenge means more than reaching a certain goal. It also means putting power in the hands of the people. It means economic opportunity for workers and justice and dignity for frontline communities that are the hardest hit by the impacts of fossil fuel usage and a warming world.
