Lillian Hill, 15-year-old climate activist from Johnston, will be hosting climate strikes in early 2023 at the Iowa State Capitol (1007 E Grand Ave, Des Moines, IA 50319). Attendees are encouraged to bring their own signs/posters/banners. Please refrain from using wooden sticks for signs, as they are not permitted inside the capitol building. All climate strikes will begin in the capitol rotunda.
Strikes are currently scheduled for:
Wednesday, January 11th | 3:30pm-4:30pm
Friday, March 3rd | 2:00pm-3:30pm
Tuesday, April 4th | 2:00pm-3:30pm
As the 2023 legislative session begins, we must keep climate action at the top of legislators’ agendas. As people of faith and conscience, we know climate is a moral issue we want to see addressed as soon as possible.
We know that a sustainable future with a thriving world, a fairer economy, and environmental and racial justice is possible. Developing climate legislation means including all voices, including youth, BIPOC, and other minority groups. Join Lily and Iowa IPL on January 11th at the capitol building to advocate for climate justice. We hope to see you there!
