Students will also call on elected officials to "stop the rollback of 25 years of environmental protection," according to a statement. The group will be joined by representatives from Greenpeace, Citizen Action, Philly Greens, the Sierra Club and the Delaware Valley Toxics Coalition. The signatures gathered are the largest number collected in a six-month period in any legislative campaign in the history of the environmental movement, the statement reads. The campaign was kicked off at the Free the Planet student conference last spring at the University. In case of rain, the event will be held in Houston Hall. -- Daniel Gingiss
