Pinwheel Day of Action is TOMORROW!


Join us this Thursday on the South Quad by the tiger statue as we place over 500 student-made pinwheel in the ground. At 12:40pm you can hear from our main speakers Larry Brown, Professor of Geography, and Rebecca Scott, Professor of Sociology who wrote a book on coal mining. The pinwheels will go in the ground starting at 11am.

This demonstration is part of a national Day of Action on Thursday, when students across the country will display over 6000 pinwheels in support of clean energy on college campuses. Following the Day of Action, we are sending all 6000+ pinwheels to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, our generation’s hero, as a thank you for holding the coal industry’s feet to the fire.

Students and young people have been at the forefront of every major social justice movement in recent history—and now we are leading the fight for clean energy. So come support us, and come support clean energy.

RSVP on Facebook and see more event details!
