Sea of People

As you may know if you have read through the site. I have been working closely with the people at Solar One on this project. I also have been helping them (as much as I can) to make some other actions and projects happen. One of which is happening this weekend.

You may have heard about the national day of action, Step It Up, launched by a small group of Bill McKibbon’s students up in Vermont. They have rallied groups around the US to organize over 1300 events on April 14th. This will be a day when we can all come together and take to the streets to get some media attention to a call for an 80% reduction in emissions by 2050.

There are number of different actions here in New York. I helped map the 10-foot line in the Wall Street area for the Sea of People campaign. We will meet at Battery Park for a rally at noon and then walk along the lines on the east and west sides of lower manhattan to create a human blue line marking the future inundation area. Please, wear a blue shirt and come out to join us. Its the least you can do.

Here’s a promo vid on youtube about the rally: http://youtube.com/watch?v=p0DfSCfdfBA
