ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE NO-EXCUSES TOUR

Washington, DC.

Thursday, October 14th.

Join us for this Road to the White House No-Excuses Tour community event. CPR Initiative General Counsel Dan Galpern will give a free public address from the Georgetown University School of Law, in Washington, DC, the last stop on his month-long, 4,705 mile journey across the continent.

Joining Dan Galpern will be renowned Climate Scientist Dr. James E. Hansen. Event sponsored and moderated by Professor Lisa Heinzerling.

The Heat is On.

The Step it up on Climate: Road to The White House No-Excuses Tour is an all-out Climate Protection and Restoration Initiative effort to galvanize the nation to protect and restore our climate system.

There is no excuse.

The facts about the climate crisis are in, and under existing statutory authority the President can impose a rising fee on carbon pollution without delay.

The tour will culminate on Friday, October 15th, 2021, with Dan’s hand-delivery of CPR Initiative’s Petition to President Biden.

Can the Executive Branch Take Meaningful Action to Arrest the Climate Crisis, Even If Congress Fails to Act?
