SUMMARY:Sun Day Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Sun Day Virtual Worldwide Storytelling Concert\nSeptember 21. 2025\n7:00pm-11:00pm\nLive on Zoom\nFree!

Please put this date in your calendar and consider joining us.

Solar energy is now the cheapest source of power on the planet – and gives us a chance to actually do something about the climate crisis. But fossil fuel billionaires are doing everything they can to shut it down. We will build\, rally\, sing\, and come together in the communities that we need to get laws changed and work done.
