DO NOT POST events that are not legit and verified please!

7. I always look at who is sponsoring the event

and I Google it and follow up. I usually get my info through my gmail since I am on the mailing list of many Dem organizations and groups. If I read about an event posted in local progressive newspapers I go to their home page. If I don't see at least three listing from different verified organizations (like MoveOn, NARAL, INDIVISIBLE, Act Blue, etc.) I am suspicious. Usually real events are often on Facebook too. I do not use social media like Facebook and Twitter so I NEVER get my first notifications through them. If there is a real event they will have maps, places to RSVP, and other info about the event and its purpose, places to contact for more info, etc.

The next BIG PROTESTS are on Sept 8th in hundreds of US cities and a hundreds more around the world. It is called "Rise For Climate".

On Sept 8 we’re planning thousands of actions and events in cities and towns around the world to demand our local leaders commit to building a fossil free world that works for all of us. No more stalling, no more delays: it's time for 100% renewable energy for all.

This September, cities, states, businesses and civil society from around the world are gathering in California for the Global Climate Action Summit.

The Summit has invited every mayor, governor, and business leader in the world to make a bold climate commitment to help the world reach the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Plan or join an event on September 8. If your elected officials commit, your rally can be a celebration. If they fail to act, it's a chance to hold them accountable.
