MOTHER EARTH DAY
Observed Internationally 22 April
IS IT TOO LATE
“People can you hear your momma crying; Feel the warning taste what she’s saying; People the hour is near; Do you know the game your playing; Will this be our fate; Is it too late”
In 2009 the United Nations designated 22 April as International Mother Earth Day. On behalf of more than 500 million Indigenous Peoples worldwide, speaking more than 4,000 languages, the Bolivian-led resolution A/RES/63/278 was adopted.
While Indigenous Peoples comprise 5% of the world's population, we are responsible for 80% of its biodiversity. The full implementation of the United Nations Declaration On The Rights Of Indigenous Peoples is critical to ensuring human health, planetary and territorial health, and the well-being of all living things.
According to the latest report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), various feasible and effective measures can be taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to changes caused by human behavior.
On Mother Earth Day and every day, stand with us in solidarity to defend the rights of Mother Earth and All Our Relations.
“It is imperative that the international community takes action to protect the rights of Mother Earth, and the United Nations’ designation of 22 April as “International Mother Earth Day” provides an essential opportunity to do so.”
50TH ANNIVERSARY
“Earth Day Live’ to Celebrate 50th Earth Day With Star-Studded Lineup - Joaquin Phoenix, Patricia Arquette, Jane Fonda, Robby Romero, Al Gore to Join”
“Patricia Arquette talk with Robby Romero was quite brilliant - stellar chemistry, vibe and content. A great mixture of gravitas and humor, personality and passion. It will definitely be a memorable highlight during the event!”
20th Anniversary
In 1990, Robby Romero performed from the West steps of the United States Capitol, for the 20th Anniversary of Earth Day.
The 1990 Earth Day activities brought together 200 million people from 141 countries, elevating environmental issues to a global platform. This led to the United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.
Today, we are facing a defining moment as the deadly impacts of human-caused climate change become increasingly apparent. Our actions, or lack thereof, will determine the legacy we leave for future generations.
