Bill McKibben is starting a movement and we are working together to invite your support and participation. Bill wrote early and often about the perils posed by climate change and we both feel it is the single greatest threat to civilization. So far, save for one march last year, there have been no mass protests, no large-scale gatherings of humanity to signal this dilemma and call for its prevention.

On April 14, a new organization called Step It Up 2007 is inviting organizations to hold rallies and events across the country. So far, over 300 events are planned in 39 states. Please go to http://stepitup2007.org/ and join one or create an event in your community. It can be as humble as a sign, as entertaining as theater, or as bold as a mass demonstration.

This National Day of Climate Action could be an unparalleled event, drawing together people of every creed, color, and background. If we can create events in every town and city in the U.S., nothing could say more to our Congress and President.

We have all the tools in place to address climate change and avert a disaster, all except one: the resolve and voice of the American people willing to form a movement. That's us. April 14, 2007 is the day. Your community is the place. http://stepitup2007.org/ is the hub. And we are so grateful.

Please forward this email to your friends and all who care.

With our support and hope,
