An estimated 2,000 campus and community members showed their support for climate action by attending Stanford’s Know Tomorrow rally in White Plaza on October 2. Know Tomorrow was part of a national day of action to raise awareness around the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, which took place the following month. The two-hour event featured a keynote address by former vice president Al Gore, who encouraged students to get involved, keep pushing climate action, and not lose motivation. According to Gore, “We [climate activists] are winning this struggle; we just have to win faster.”

Student representatives from the national Know Tomorrow organization, as well as Students for a Sustainable Stanford, coordinated the effort for Stanford. Other speakers included Stanford faculty, ASSU executives, and members of the Stanford American Indian organization and Fossil Free Stanford.
