Hi,<BR>
<BR>
The Climate Action Project (a WPIRG student action group) is organizing a rally for the International Day of Climate Change declared by the 350 campaign. The 350 campaign is attempting to co-ordinate global action to pressure national governments to set ambitious and achievable goals to combat climate change; this particular event is intended to emphasise the importance of the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (December 7 - 18). <BR> <BR>If you could forward the information for this event (see below) to your mailing list, we would much appreciate it. We are also looking for volunteers to help with site set-up and tear-down, directing people during the march, and possibly also with running the tech for the musical performances. Anyone interested in volunteering can select the roles they'd be willing to fill at <A href="http:///" target=_blank><FONT color=#0000ff>http://www.doodle.com/in8yns8aqp48asey</FONT></A> . Please come a<FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><FONT face=Verdana size=2>t 12:00 to help with setup and receive instructions. </FONT></FONT><BR> <BR>If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at <A href="mailto:athenes1@hotmail.com"><FONT color=#0068cf>athenes1@hotmail.com</FONT></A>.<BR> <BR>Thanks,<BR> <BR>Claire Pella <BR>The Climate Action Project<BR> <BR> <BR><BR><BR>
