April 22 marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and raising awareness and activism has never been more important. The Earth Day Network is mobilizing people around the world to join the EARTHRISE movement, including here in Bellingham. The Museum is proud to participate in this movement, but what is a protest march without signs? In the hours leading up to the EARTHRISE march, we are offering free sign-making materials in the Lightcatcher building courtyard, just blocks from the protest’s downtown start. Make your sign and join the movement!

The Whatcom Museum is an official Earth Day Network partner.
