National Day of (Climate) Action Wednesday, October 14

Brought to you by: http://peoplesclimate.org/

The People's Climate Movement and others are calling for a National Day of Action Wednesday, October 14 to demand bold action on the climate crisis facing our planet. We are calling for a sustainable, democratic and just economy that preserves our planet and works for all peoples.
At the end of 2015, nations will meet again to negotiate an United Nation\u2019s climate agreement in Paris that commits all countries to address climate change. What comes out of Paris will not mark the end of our efforts but could be an important step in the global process of confronting climate change.
This fall we will continue to build a powerful movement for change and bring the demand for bold action to our leaders in anticipation of the Paris climate talks. We will insist that our public leaders support us in taking action in building a new economy that will avert the worst impacts of the climate crisis. And, we will call out those public leaders, corporations and other organizations that are standing in the way of progress as they deny the science and block the popular alternatives.

TO CHANGE EVERYTHING, WE NEED EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE.
Take the pledge to support the People's Climate Movement national day of action October 14th, 2015.

We're organizing a rally on Wednesday October 14th, at 4 pm, calling on Silicon Valley tech firms to engage more robustly with the climate movement, as part of the People's Climate Movement National Day of Action and in the lead up to the Paris Climate talks in December. The planned location is Charleston Park Plaza in Mountain View, next door to the Googleplex.

Lincoln High School will be kicking off the Seize The Grid campaign on our campus. In conjunction with the People\u2019s Climate Movement, we will begin our campaign, asking for 100% renewable energy on campus by 2030. At the event, we will have educational resources, and will collect petition signatures to deliver to our administration.

A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.
