Step It Up! November 3 National Day of Climate Action

Submitted by crice on October 31, 2007 - 7:08pm.

Start: Nov 3 2007 - 1:00pm

Location:

Step It Up 2007

Step It Up! is a national day of climate action! Rallies will be taking place across the US to pressure politicians to take action. We will be meeting at the EMU amphitheatre and walking to Autzen Stadium at 1:00 as a visual rally to get improvement on climate change.

It is IMPORTANT for you to come! We can begin to stop global warming if we all take an hour of our time to show our support for this issue. It will make a great deal of difference.

Step It Up! is working for political action on three issues: 1) 80% reduction of carbon emissions by 2050, 2) moratorium on new coal plants, and 3) Green jobs that will involve everyone. Go to Step It Up! for more info.
