Will Call For Local Action to Support a Just & Healthy Climate, from Rock to Rock and Beyond

- Share the city’s commitments through its new climate action framework and greenhouse gas reduction commitments.
- Challenge local organizations and city residents to share their vision for a healthy, just climate -- and to take real actions to make this vision a reality -- taking the lead from art and poetry created by our city’s young people.
- Invite community members to join in the 10th Annual Rock to Rock Earth Day Ride -- raising critically needed support for more than 30 local organizations, and bringing more than 1,000 neighbors together on Saturday, April 28th..
- Announce a special 10th Anniversary Rock to Rock Bonus Fund, made possible through support from MFUNd, the Watershed Fund, and Faxon Law Group, that will add $10 to every $50 donated through this year’s Rock to Rock -- until the fund is used up!
