Earth Day is getting quite the party for it’s 40th birthday.
And what’s a party without a little entertainment?
Passion Pit, the Roots, Mavis Staples, Honor Society, John Legend, Sting, Booker T, Joss Stone, and more will rock the National Mall on Sunday, April 25 to wrap up a week of Earth Day events held ’round the globe.
But it’s not all play and no work. We’ve come a long way since the first Earth Day in 1970, but there’s still important work to do.
The Climate Rally calls for Congress to adopt comprehensive climate legislation to create clean energy jobs, curb global warming, and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
Politicians and activists like Reverend Jesse Jackson, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, author Margaret Atwood, and NFL player Dhani Jones will also lend their support to the event.
If you can’t make it to DC, the festivities will be streamed live on Earth Day Network’s website.
