Park Place Climate Action Rally
A Message from Park Place Neighbor Josh Bellin
Dear Friends,
If you care about the environment (and I know you do!), you’ll want to be involved in this. On April 14, 2007, Step It Up 2007, a nationwide day of events dedicated to pressuring Congress to pass legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, will be held. (See their website, http://stepitup2007.org/). I’ve decided to host a local event, and I need your help! The event, which I’m calling the Park Place Climate Action Rally, will be held from noon to 2:00 on April 14th at lower Frick Park (corner of Forbes and S. Braddock). Plans are still in flux, but I’m hoping to have a rally, letter-writing campaign, information booths, and (for families) a park clean-up. Here’s how you can help:
-
Obviously, attend the event yourself, and bring as many friends, family members, and co-workers as possible!
-
Spread the word! In your workplace, your place of worship, your email address book, get the news out to as many people as you can think of. I’ll be putting together flyers in the next couple days, so if you can think of good places to distribute them, please let me know.
-
Volunteer to help with planning, set-up, clean-up, etc. There’s a lot to do–contacting local media, organizations, and politicians; posting flyers; making signs and banners; and so on–and only a month to do iit. So any help would be greatly appreciated!
Please be back in touch to let me know if you have any thoughts about this or if you’d like to help. And thanks to all of you in advance for supporting this truly earth-shaking cause! Josh Bellin jclj@juno.com
