Upcoming Fossil Free RI Events

Fossil Free RI, Neighbor

Fossil Free RI is announcing some important upcoming events.

Firstly, we would like you to invite you to Fossil Free RI's monthly general meeting. With several divestment campaigns and other battles against the fossil fuel industry taking place across Rhode Island, your help is needed. Come to learn, connect and be a part of the growing movement fighting for healthy communities and a sustainable future.

  • Fossil Free RI Monthly Meeting
  • Wednesday, November 6th 7pm
  • URI Providence Campus Building
  • 80 Washington St. Providence, RI
  • RSVP on Facebook   
Secondly, we are also excited to announce that this November we are sponsoring an intensive two-day Kingian Nonviolence training. The training introduces how nonviolence is a courageous way of life and a powerful strategy for social change. Special emphasis will be given to the Six Principles and Six Steps of Nonviolence according to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., their use during the civil rights movement and their application to today’s world. Sign up for this special training opportunity while there is still space available!

Plus, big thanks to everyone who made the "Do the Math" on Climate Change event at the University of Rhode Island so successful. It was standing room only, with over 130 people in attendance. Read more about the big night here.
