   IT'S TIME !
MUSEUMS MUST CUT THEIR TIES WITH THE 
FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY & FUNDERS OF CLIMATE DENIAL !


Oil mogul David Koch sits on the 
Board of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, while he bankrolls groups that deny climate science.


WHAT:

Join us for a lunchtime demonstration, press conference, and rally outside of the Smithsonian's Board meeting on
Monday, June 15, 2015 when we'll: 


  • Call on the Smithsonian to cut its ties with the Fossil Fuel Industry and Funders of Climate Denial
  • Deliver a Petition with more than 300,000 signatures calling on the Smithsonian to KICK KOCH OFF THE BOARD!  (Sign- here!)
  • Call on the Smithsonian to "FIX IT OR TAKE IT DOWN!"       The climate theme of the Koch-funded Hall of Human Origins exhibit must be corrected so that it tells the truth about the role fossil fuels play in the climate crisis.

​WHERE:                 
  • Outside of the Board meeting at the Smithsonian Castle, 1000 Jefferson Drive, SW, Washington, DC
  • After demonstrating there, we'll march to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History for a press conference and rally, 10th St and Madison Drive, NW, Washington, DC
