Earth Day Turns 50 with a Massive Livestream Event

by Anna Andrews-Mills
As the world fights to bring the COVID-19 pandemic under control, another crisis looms.
In late 2018, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned that if we want to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, we need to cut global carbon emissions almost in half by 2030. This decade will be critical.
As we've stated in the past, the time to act is now -- we simply cannot continue business as usual, and this proves resoundingly true this year. We are in a time of maximum uncertainty and urgency.

Earth Day Live: April 22-24

Earth Day Live is a three-day livestream and an epic community mobilization to show support for our planet, through which millions of people can tune in online alongside activists, celebrities, musicians, and more. The massive live event -- which starts on April 22 and concludes on April 24 -- is organized by climate, environmental, and Indigenous groups within the US Climate Strike Coalition and Stop The Money Pipeline Coalition.
Starting today, you can opt into displaying a banner that promotes Earth Day Live on your WordPress.com site, showing your commitment to this critical topic and spreading the word about the digital event and livestream. On April 22, sites with this feature enabled will automatically display a full-screen overlay message. Your site visitors will be able to dismiss the banner once viewed.

Promote this global movement on your site

To activate the banner, go to My Site → Manage → Settings. At the top of the Settings menu, you will see a toggle switch -- flip it on to join this digital climate strike.
Self-hosted WordPress sites can also join the movement by installing the Earth Day Live WP plugin from the WordPress.org plugin repository. 
After the livestream ends, the banner will disappear on its own -- no further action is required on your end. (If you’ve installed the plugin, it will automatically disable.)
Together we can make a difference. We hope you’ll join us in supporting this movement.
