DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Election: Building a Bay Area Radical Climate Movement\n\nWhere: 
 The Pirate Cat, 2781 21st Street (21st and Florida)\nWhen: Wednesday Oct 22 
 at 7:30pm\nWhat: Rising Tide Bay Area Film Screening, Discussion and 
 Organizing Meeting.\nContact:sparki@riseup.net or 
 matt@risingtidenorthamerica.org\n\nTired of the McPalin and Obiden lovefest 
 around "Clean Coal," nuclear and other fossil fuels?  Thinking we can do 
 better than "Drill, Baby, Drill?"  Want to challenge Corporate America's 
 false solutions to climate change?  Do you want to connect the dots between 
 social justice issues and climate change?   \n\nIt's time to move past the 
 elections and begin building a grassroots radical climate movement here in 
 the San Francisco Bay Area.  Chevron, PG&E and a host of other climate 
 destroying energy companies are either headquartered here or have 
 operations here.  In Richmond, Chevron's refinery is processing oil from 
 conflict zones all over the world while poisoning the local community and 
 emitting tons of carbon into the atmosphere.  \n\nIf we want climate 
 criminals, we don't have to look very far.  For solutions, we need to look 
 beyond elections and politicians and build a grassroots climate movement to 
 uproot the foundations of climate change and climate injustice.\n\nRising 
 Tide is an international network of climate activists working on radical 
 solutions to climate change using things like community solidarity, direct 
 action and Climate Convergences to forward those goals.  You can check out 
 RT’s principles here-

 chapter has recently formed--Rising Tide Bay Area.  Rising Tide Bay Area is 
 having a film screening (short), discussion and organizing meeting on 
 Wedsnesday, Oct 22 at 7:30pm at the Pirate Cat in the Mission.\n\nTo get 
 plugged in, just show up.\n
