Climate Week of Action

America and Canada's youth are calling for five days of demonstrations to put the heat on a new U.S. Congress and a returning Canadian Parliament to begin aggressive national power shifts on global warming. The Climate Week of Action is an opportunity for everyone from students and professors to people of faith, workers, and average citizens to speak out and take action for a clean energy future. So, attend a screening of An Inconvenient Truth , join the photo petition to Congress and Parliament, make a phone call to stop a new proposed oil refinery in North Dakota, or organize something new in your community to make an impact on the climate crisis. Whatever you do next week, make it a week of action!

Dispatches from the week are posted at It’s Getting Hot In Here

In the Pacific Northwest, they are especially encouraging folks to make a call to Gov. Kulongoski or Gov. Gregoire in support of grassroots, community efforts against Liquefied Natural Gas. Let them know that a just, sustainable future does not include pushing this dangerous, climate change inducing fuel on poor communities Oregon and Washington! Attached to this email is a document with the Governor's phone numbers and lots more information about LNG.
