“I can’t understand why there aren’t rings of young people blocking bulldozers, and preventing them from constructing coal-fired power plants.”
-Al Gore August 2007
“We are here because now is the time to take greater action as individuals, as communities, and as a country to create a sustainable future and stop the destruction of our homes.”
-Wise County Virginia resident Hannah Morgan while committing civil disobedience at a coal plant construction site. September 2008
Al Gore is promoting it. People all over the planet are doing it. It’s time to take action against coal from the cradle to the grave. We’re organized, smart and creative. Now we’re taking the action on the coal front to another level.
Greenpeace, Rainforest Action Network and friends are calling for a National Day of Action against Coal and Coal Finance on Nov. 14-15. Hundreds of actions in 24 hours to continue raising awareness about the coal industry and their financiers, Citi and Bank of America.

Coal is the dirtiest of all fuels and has a huge negative impact on the climate, yet the coal industry and elected officials are accepting it as a solution to the climate crisis.
It’s time we stand up to say, “Don’t Foreclose the Climate!”
Here’s what we really need to save the climate:
- No new coal plants
- An end to mountaintop removal
- Stop financing the coal industry
- Invest in green jobs and clean and just energy!
Here’s how you can stand up and say no to foreclosure on the climate:
- Register your action now and download a toolkit at www.dirtymoney.org
- Get together with your friends and plan an action at a coal company, bank or politicians office.
- Contact RAN at dirtymoney@ran.org or Greenpeace at students@sfo.greenpeace.org for support. We can send you banners and flyers, as well as help you brainstorm potential actions.
- Join one of the upcoming conference call check-ins- Oct 28th and Nov 11th by contacting us.
- Get creative and take some action for the climate and coal impacted communities.
It’s time to take to the streets and send the Coal Industry and its financiers a message that we will not foreclose the climate!!
P.S. if your organization wants to endorse and support the day of action, contact us at dirtymoney@ran.org

Hi
I’m both an environmentalist and a realist.
I’m also much older than you.
Please don’t take this personally but most people your age have been brainwashed by the greens.
Not your fault.
Study the history. I attended earth day in the early 70’s.
This is a repeat of that time. Same people behind it.
Unfortunately it has nothing to do with saving the environment.
Please read the Green Agenda and Cloak of Green.
Both can be found on my site or google.
I commend you for being involved, but you really need to do some research.
In order to know what is happening today you must understand the history.
1922 the ice melted in the arctic. check it out.
Al Gore is a false prophet.
The Green Agenda and Cloak of Green will answer a lot of questions.
I don’t work for any energy sector and I’m not a huge fan of coal, but coal is not the real enemy.
Take care - We live in interesting times
Thanks for getting this together. Should be a good day of action. While I see the propaganda value in sending that Gore quote around, it also pisses me off. Why doesn’t he walk his talk instead of passing it on to our generation to put our bodies on the line. He certainly has a lot less to lose then us. Cops aren’t going to taser or pepperspray Gore if he were to lock down. Its exciting that “respectable” people are calling for direct action, but it would be nice if they realized it is their duty as well, not just the youth.
wow Ron you must be soooooo much older than us to be so much smarter. go write another book.
