Earth Week climate rallies planned in 13 Montana cities this Saturday April 26.

In honor of Earth Week, people across Montana are planning rallies to raise awareness of climate change challenges this weekend.

More than 80 health, community, human rights, business, Native American, recreation and faith-based organizations have signed on to the gatherings, which are scheduled in 13 cities and towns Saturday. Activities range from a concert and art exhibit in Whitefish to roundtable discussions in Pablo.

"The common thread for these events is that the majority of Montanans support positive and proactive solutions that will reduce carbon," said Montana Environmental Information Center attorney Derf Johnson. "These events are designed to show that support to our elected officials."
