Past Actions: Creativity, Celebration, and Courage
Something I love that was said to me when I first arrived at International Rivers was, “The Day of Action for Rivers will happen whether or not you’re ‘coordinating’ it.” I love this, because for a moment I can glimpse all the things being planned around the world right now…people getting together and talking, putting their energy into protecting the river-life networks around them. And I appreciate it because I am immediately reminded of the gravity that also accompanies this Day of Action for Rivers – people organize their actions because they have to continue standing up for the protection of rivers, their connected ecosystems, and people. It is an ongoing struggle.
Spread the word!
If you know any group that would like to organize an event, let them know they can share their plans with International Rivers.
Email dayofaction@internationalrivers.org if you have questions, would like to receive materials about the Day of Action for Rivers, and to share photos and stories about your actions with us!
