National Mobilization on Climate Justice and Energy Solutions
By Kevin Gosztola
"I can't understand why there aren't rings of young people blocking bulldozers and preventing them from constructing coal-fired power plants." -Al Gore Now is the time for the first National Mobilization on CLIMATE JUSTICE and Energy Solutions. Join thousands of people young and old, who are taking action to lead us toward a just and Sustainable FUTURE.
::::::::
Make history March 2, 2009 in Washington, D.C.Be part of the largest mass civil disobedience for the climate in U.S. history.
You know there is a climate crisis. You know we have to solve it. It’s time to take our action to the next level.
With a new administration and a new Congress, we have a window of opportunity. But we have to open it — together.
On March 2, join thousands of people in a multi-generational act of civil disobedience at the Capitol Power Plant — a plant that powers Congress with dirty energy and symbolizes a past that cannot be our future. Let’s use this as a rallying cry for a clean energy economy that will protect the health of our families, our climate, and our future.
This will be a peaceful demonstration, carried out in a spirit of hope and not rancor. We will be there in our dress clothes, and ask the same of you.
It’s time to take a stand on global warming. We can’t wait any longer for the changes we KNOW we can, and must, make today.
