PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • September 20, 2025
On Sept. 21, the autumnal equinox, events will be held all over the country to celebrate that clean energy revolution. And one of those events will be held right here in Portland’s Lincoln Park. In a nod to Earth Day, the day is called Sun Day. The event is sponsored by Third Act, an organization founded by Bill McKibben to support old hippies like me in their attempts to preserve a safe and flourishing home for their children and grandchildren. Earth Day was a bipartisan day of protest to protect the health and well-being of our lands and waters. It is my hope that Sun Day will also be a day that unites us as a community over our shared concerns for the future of our oceans, our forests and our children. ~ Kathleen Sullivan, Freeport
