Excitement is building here in Washington, as the Clean Energy Now! Bus Tour winds its way through Indiana and Ohio, before arriving in town tomorrow night.
The arrival of the bus tour coincides with the Organize to be Heard fly-in, with great events on tap for the week that includes several trips to Capitol Hill, as well as a press conference with EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson.
Featuring DJ Biz Markie, Jackson, Alliance for Climate Protection CEO Maggie Fox, youth activists and performers, we will be taking over outside the capitol reflecting pool on Wednesday at 11:30.
Before that big event, many of the same people will be rallying for clean energy outside of the Verizon Center, where Will.I.Am and the Black Eyed Peas will be performing on Tuesday night. The Clean Energy Now! Tour Bus will be outside the building, just blocks from the Capitol. Check back for more information on the blog and Twitter.
The tour has been through Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri so far, while spending today in Indianapolis.
The Organize to be Heard challenge wrapped up earlier this month and now has the winning youth in town for events the like of meetings with John Kerry and other activities on Capitol Hill, as well as the two events above.
The voice’s of this nation’s youth need to be heard as we fight for clean energy and climate legislation that is long overdue. Our future is at stake. And we are organizing to win.
