Video-Letter to Congress « It’s Getting Hot In Here

As part of the National Teach-In on Global Warming, the four primary organizers have made this sample video-letter to Congress:

We are helping schools, congregations, and communities across the country make video-letters of their own. These videos might describe what happened at their Teach-In event (kicking off Feb. 5), talk about why they are involved, or ask for real leadership from our US representatives during the 111th Congress.

To see confirmed US Senate and House participants, please check out the Climate Dialogue page.

Please make a Video-Letter to Congress of your own, and we’ll help get it to your representative. Let’s all provide a powerful counterpoint to the lobbyists across the street.

Thanks,

The National Teach-In team: Lara, Sara, Madeline and Maryl
