Great March for Climate Action July 19
From BOLD Nebraska:
This Saturday, July 19, a determined group of concerned citizens in the midst of a 3,000-mile cross-country march to raise awareness about climate change will set off from an historic church in Marquette, Nebraska. They will walk 10 miles through picturesque farmland to the renewable energy-powered barn near the town of Bradshaw, which BOLD Nebraska built last summer on land in the path of the Keystone XL pipeline. You can join the marchers for a 10-mile or 1-mile walk.
Rally: Save the Clarinda-Page Apartments
From Restoration Exchange Omaha:
The 2004 Destination Midtown study showed the No. 1 thing people love about Midtown is its historic buildings. This is an opportunity to get involved to save the Clarinda-Page.
The City Council is supposed to vote on whether to remove landmark status at the July 1 meeting. Your attendance is needed! The whole point of declaring a building a landmark is so that it cannot be torn down. Please help save Omaha’s heritage!
Join us as we rally to gather support to save the Clarinda-Page apartments.
