Dec. 3: Climate Crisis Rally


KYOTO AND BEYOND CLIMATE CRISIS: USA JOIN THE WORLD!
TAKE ACTION DECEMBER 3 IN NYC!
CALL FOR THE USA TO SIGN KYOTO AND JOIN THE WORLD

DEC. 3, 12:30 -2:30 PM
Rally
Madison Sq. Park
(Madison Ave bt 24th and 25th St.)

Citizens from across the globe will join in simultaneous rallies Dec. 3rd.

From Nov. 28th to Dec. 9th representatives from over 150 nations will be meeting at a crucial Climate Conference in Montreal. And while many of them will be pushing for stronger world action on global warming,
the U. S. official representatives will be there working behind the scenes to block any positive action. This is the role they have played for several years. Our government is fiddling while the earth burns We are witnessing the devastating effects of global climate change with an increase in flooding, drought, diseases, and higher asthma rates and respiratory illnesses. We are outraged that our government has taken this obstructionist approach to one of, if not the, most critical and urgent issues of our time. Powerful dirty energy corporations are calling the shots on U.S. energy policy. Even more disheartening is that resources and lives are being wasted in a tragic war. Instead of energy conservation and development of clean, safe, sustainable energy that would end our reliance on Middle East oil while generating millions of new jobs, the U.S. engages in a senseless war.
