I’m working with an organization called Artfulchange and we are organizing one of the over 4500 actions happening worldwide for the International Day of Climate Action coming up on October 24th.

Artfulchange is an environmental non-profit that combines music and the arts with environmental action and awareness. We have launched our online carbon neutral benefit concert on this day of action! There is a streaming concert on our website and visitors can purchase MP3 and video downloads as well as art pieces from bay-area artists. All proceeds from these sales will go to benefit Energy Action Coalition, a coalition of 50 environmental and social justice organizations fighting for a movement towards clean energy: http://energyactioncoalition.org/

Visit the Artfulchange website on the 24th (TODAY!) to take part in this day of climate action. If you can’t make it online today, you can visit anytime after the 24th and still take part in this fundraiser to benefit Energy Action Coalition.

For more information: http://artfulchange.org/onlinebenefit.html

Please help us spread the word and make this fundraiser a success for the coalition.
I wish you all a happy and successful Day of Climate Action!

See you on http://artfulchange.org/!
