Rally for the Climate, Green Jobs, and Clean Air in Seattle - Bus ride up!
12 pm, Thursday, May 21
Bus departs Portland at 8 am (see below for more info)
Seattle's Bell Harbor International Conference Center pier 66 on Alaskan Way
Support the Obama Administration’s Powerful New Stance on Global Warming!
YES WE CAN reverse global warming to protect our families and communities and create millions of new green jobs! And, finally, the federal government is moving to deliver on that promise! We need the federal government to step up, and there's never been a better time.
President Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency need to hear from you. The EPA has concluded there is overwhelming evidence that greenhouse gases from fossil fuel combustion and vehicles endanger our health and welfare. Now that it has recognized the threat, the EPA must develop rules under the Clean Air Act to safeguard the environment and develop a new green economy. But the coal and oil lobbies will fight the Administration every step of the way. President Obama and the EPA need you to stand up and help them fight for what’s right! This is one of only two hearings in the entire country – the other is in Arlington, VA!
Ways you can help:
* Attend the rally on May 21st at noon to show support and to help end our reliance on dirty energy. RSVP on-line now!
* Find out more about the all day hearing itself and consider signing up to testify.

It’s been so long since the EPA did its job – enforcing our environmental laws and protecting the public. We protested when they failed; now we need to step up and help them succeed!

Have you had the feeling you're not in Kansas, anymore? Things are changing so rapidly, it's difficult to figure out which end is up.

* How can we make good decisions in a climate of uncertainty?
* How can the community come together to support each other?
* How can we know that what we think is our best interest is good for our neighbors?
* Can we influence any of this?
* What do we need to change about our relationship with each other to not only weather the change, but create the community of our dreams together?
