newsvineOn Friday June 6, moments after a major policy debate on climate change, 1Sky volunteers delivered more than 100 murals calling for bold action to Congressional offices on Capitol Hill. The murals were created over Mother’s Day weekend by families and communities in 43 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
Our incredible summer interns (led by Andrew, Eli and Richard) produced this short video to highlight your murals and the delivery:
