Monday: Take action on climate change

Organizing for Action
Joe --

It's not that often that we get the chance to be on the front lines of a fight that's so clearly important for our future.

But that's what our work against climate change is all about -- and Monday, in Chicago, you have the chance to join this fight in a very meaningful way, in support of President Obama's new proposal to cut carbon pollution.

OFA supporters across the country are holding a National Day of Action to show support for new power plant pollution standards -- you should be part of it.

Here are the details:

What: Climate change event in Chicago

Where: 610 S. Michigan Avenue
Chicago, IL 60605

When: Monday, June 2nd
10:00 am

RSVP now

For the first time in a while, climate change deniers in Congress are being held accountable for their dangerous and irresponsible positions. One by one, journalists are starting to expose denial among our leaders in Washington.

And that's because of folks like you -- people who've been working so hard over the course of the year to keep the pressure on these folks both offline and online.

It's important that we keep going. As the National Climate Assessment released last month clearly shows, climate change is affecting people now, not in the distant future.

Next Monday, we're rallying around President Obama's climate plan and aggressive action to curb dangerous carbon pollution that causes climate change.

RSVP right now to be part of the action in Chicago:
