The No War No Warming initiative was started to address the issue of oil being the critical link between global warming and war. The Iraq war and the threat of climate change are the twin global threats that millions of Americans said they wanted immediate action on, after the U.S. mid-term election. But as Iraq continues to devolve into violence and chaos and as we hit another year of record warm temperatures, it is time to pressure legislators to respond to the will of the people. We want a safe and healthy planet for years and years to come.
Michigan students took action on March 20th, commemorating the 4th anniversary of the war with a critical mass ride that shut down the main road leading to the capitol building in Lansing, Mi.
Please join us in a series of actions in 2007 to fight climate change, not wars for oil! Here’s what you can do:
Step It Up on April 14, the Nationwide Protest Against Climate Change
On April 14th, tens of thousands of Americans will gather all across the country at meaningful, iconic places to call for action on climate change. The demand: Step it up Congress! Cut carbon 80% by 2050. We urge peace groups to join this day of protest. Send the message Fight Climate Change, Not Wars for Oil by protesting at a local gas station or other site. List your protest at http://www.stepitup2007.org/
Join us for a joint “NO WAR, NO WARMING” national mobilization this fall!
As Congress goes back into session this fall, let’s bring together the peace and justice and environmental movements to demand that our Representatives take immediate action to end the Iraq War AND stop climate change, by ending the US addiction to oil. Get involved in the planning NOW. Email: andrea@globalexchange.org to find out how to get involved.
