Amherst, MA: Earth Day Flash Mob
This is Our Nature: Earth Day Flash Mob
Sponsored by: Mothers Out Front Amherst, Climate Action Now, Extinction Rebellion Western Mass, and Amherst Sunrise
We will take downtown Amherst by surprise by bursting into dance on the Common. Come join us! Whoever you are, you are part of this!
We dance to celebrate Our Nature: the environment around us. We love it and we need it. We protect nature because it sustains us.
And we dance to express Our Nature: the spirit within us. Our nature is generous and strong. Our nature is to learn, grow, and adapt.
RSVP to sign up as a dancer – no experience necessary!
