Don’t miss this chance to hear directly from a leading thinker on climate change and climate justice. We’ll be featuring a conversation and Q&A with Third Act’s founder, Bill McKibben!

About this event

At Third Act Maryland, we’re making plans to support three main national Third Act campaigns: Stopping Fossil Fuel Financing, Uplifting Voting and Democracy, and Democratizing Energy. Plus, we’ll be supporting important Maryland state climate legislation.

Third Act Maryland formed shortly after the March 2023 direct actions in Washington, D.C., that targeted the dirty banks. Those actions galvanized and motivated participants from Maryland to form their own Third Act chapter, or what Third Act calls a working group. But that’s just the beginning. We need your help in planning new initiatives and actions and in building our movement. We can’t afford to sit on the sidelines.

Our launch on September 26 is the perfect opportunity for you to find out more about what we’re up to and how you can play an active role in the climate justice, civil rights, and voting rights movement. Let’s make history together.
