GLOBAL DAY OF CLIMATE ACTION!

SAVE THE CLIMATE, NOT WALL STREET!
UNITED STATES: IMPLEMENT, THEN GO BEYOND KYOTO WITH WIND & SOLAR ENERGY & CLEAN MASS TRANSIT!

RUSH-HOUR PICKET & BANNERING
ON THE I-94 FREEWAY OVERPASS
AT RIVERSIDE & 25TH AVENUES
MONDAY, DECEMBER 1ST, 4:30-6:00 PM

From December 1st through the 12th, the Fourteenth Conference of Parties (COP14) will take place in Poznan, Poland where world leaders and environment ministers will hold yet another round of talks on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to plan for meeting greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals under Kyoto II and the so-called Bali Road Map. It is readily apparent that the European Union will not make its current goals as it is, and many nations are complaining about the costs of mitigating climate change, using the current financial crisis as an excuse to retreat from their pledge to cut CO2 emissions. Meanwhile, the U.S., a major emitter, has yet to sign on to the Kyoto Protocol as carbon dioxide concentrations have risen to already dangerous levels and the planet continues to meltdown. Climate crisis activists around the globe will be demonstrating to demand immediate action to draw down carbon and cool down the planet.

In most cities around the globe, demonstrations will be held on Saturday, December 6th. However, here locally, activists will hold a rush-hour picket and bannering on the first day of the climate change conference, Monday, December 1st, instead.
