Hello Team!
We just found out about an incredibly important Day of Action that we would like to support scheduled for Oct. 10th. Yes this is short notice, but I think that we can still lend our support as this action coincides with our goals to bring healing to the planet. We will be partnering with Greenpeace, Sierra Club, CicLAvia and numerous other organizations that are working to create change. Please let me know if you can help us organize the event and if you will be attending. Here are the details:
WHO:
YOU - your family, friends, associates - anyone that is concerned about the health of the Planet and wants to move beyond dirty fuels.
WHAT:
Los Angeles is too dependent on dirty fossil fuels. Coal-fired power plants in Arizona and Utah deliver dirty, dangerous, and increasingly expensive power to Los Angeles. Locally, oil refineries poison the Los Angeles air, harming local residents while making climate change worse. These same coal and oil companies take the money we pay for our power and use it to fight public health, safety and environmental standards at City Hall, the State Capitol, and in Washington D.C.
Enough is enough.
There is a solution to our over-dependence on these dirty ways of getting power. Efficiency projects and clean energy can help replace dirty coal. Better public transportation, bike paths, and electric vehicles can help end our addiction to oil. Los Angeles can lead the nation in this clean energy transition, attracting new job-creating industries to our city. We can create jobs by moving towards a cleaner future, but we need YOUR help!
Join Planet Rehab, Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, and many more groups from all over LA on October 10th to rally against the coal and oil industries’ grip on Los Angeles. This rally is being held as people stand up in cities all over the world as part of an international day of action against climate change.
