2nd Annual Climate Action Forum

Join Your Neighbors • Be the Change

MARCH 28, 2023 | 6:30 pm

MEETINGHOUSE ARTS | 40 MAIN ST., FREEPORT

On March 28, at 6:30 at Meetinghouse Arts, FreeportCAN will bring you its second Climate Action Forum. Learn about local, state and international efforts to address the climate crisis, and the impact FreeportCAN has had in its first year.

In the year since FreeportCAN was launched we have been met with great enthusiasm and have had hundreds of Freeporters participating in and propelling our initiatives. This tells us that we are serving a role in helping our community find ways to act to address climate change. We’re excited to continue our work as we move forward, and we hope you’ll join us!
