More than 300 environmental and human rights advocates from throughout Bucks County will join in a nationwide day of action against climate denial and hate in Newtown.
The rally against Republican President-elect Donald Trump’s “climate denial cabinet” will be held at the Newtown Friends Meeting House at 219 Court Street in Newtown Borough on Monday beginning at 6 p.m.
According to organizers, the event will call on Pennsylvania senators Pat Toomey and Bob Casey to vote against Trump’s appointees including: Scott Pruitt as Environmental Protection Agency administrator, ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State, Rick Perry as Department of Energy secretary, and Ryan Zinke as Secretary of the Interior.
During his campaign, Trump repeatedly said he would attempt to “drain the swamp,” but rally organizers call the president-elect’s cabinet appointments climate change deniers.
