Earth Day Turns 50 with a Massive Livestream Event

April 22 marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Show your support on your site with a
banner promoting Earth Day Live, a three-day event and livestream from April 22-24.

As the world fights to bring the COVID-19 pandemic under control, another crisis looms.

In late 2018, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned that if
we want to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, we need to cut global carbon
emissions almost in half by 2030. This decade will be critical.

As we’ve stated in the past , the time to act is now — we simply cannot continue business
as usual, and this proves resoundingly true this year. We are in a time of maximum
uncertainty and urgency.

Earth Day Live: April 22-24


Earth Day Live is a three-day livestream and an epic community mobilization to show
support for our planet, through which millions of people can tune in online alongside
activists, celebrities, musicians, and more. The massive live event — which starts on April
22 and concludes on April 24 — is organized by climate, environmental, and Indigenous
groups within the US Climate Strike Coalition and Stop The Money Pipeline Coalition.

Starting today, you can opt into displaying a banner that promotes Earth Day Live on
your WordPress.com site, showing your commitment to this critical topic and spreading
the word about the digital event and livestream. On April 22, sites with this feature
enabled will automatically display a full-screen overlay message. Your site visitors will be
able to dismiss the banner once viewed.

Promote this global movement on your site
To activate the banner, go to My Site → Manage → Settings. At the top of the Settings
menu, you will see a toggle switch — flip it on to join this digital climate strike.

Self-hosted WordPress sites can also join the movement by installing the Earth Day Live
WP plugin from the WordPress.org plugin repository.

After the livestream ends, the banner will disappear on its own — no further action is
required on your end. (If you’ve installed the plugin, it will automatically disable.)

Together we can make a difference. We hope you’ll join us in supporting this movement.

Visit Earth Day Live for event details, and explore more digital Earth Day initiatives
and resources on WordPress so you can take action on April 22 — or any day.
