You can find more about this coordinated worldwide mahasangha applied practice opportunity:

Please forward to your sanghas and practice networks and help build momentum for a one-day worldwide coordinated applied Plum Village practice day on behalf of Mother Earth on Sept 20th!
In gratitude, friends on the Compassionate Direct Action family of the PV Earth Holder Community.
You’re also all welcome to join Extinction Rebellion during the International Rebellion Week (7 October onward), in London, Paris, Amsterdam or wherever is closest to you. In Amsterdam we’ll be having daily meditations and a lot of singing!
YES! Our Mother Earth is suffering! We love her, need her, will dedicate this next 18 months to her.

FYI the Student Climate Strike Flyer link is broken :)
Dear Anon,
Thank you for your interest in protecting mother earth:) The flyer is for a march which happened on the 20th of September, 2019 so it might not be useful to you now. Here is the website for the Youth Climate March movement: https://fridaysforfuture.org/ and for the Global Climate strike movement: https://globalclimatestrike.net/ for up to date information on marches happening around the world. It will most likely be on the PV website or facebook page if we are planning to go out again in support of the marches. If you are in America I suggest you contact one of our centers there to ask them if they are planning anything. https://plumvillage.org/monastic-practice-centres/
Wishing you peaceful steps wherever you are and wherever you go,
Smiles,
Sr Chanh Niem
