DESCRIPTION:Friends,\nSorry for the short notice on this one, but we've got a 
 rapid-response moment on our hands.\nOn Tuesday, the Environmental 
 Protection Agency is holding a public listening session in San Francisco 
 about their new rules on coal-fired power plants. These new EPA rules could 
 be a powerful way to reduce climate pollution in the coming years -- and 
 these hearings were designed to gather community input.\nPredictably, the 
 fossil fuel industry is pulling out all the stops to weaken, block, or 
 delay these rules. We've heard reports that they're flying in coal 
 lobbyists and corporate shills to make the EPA think that the public 
 doesn't really want tough new regulations on coal plants. We can't let that 
 happen -- and that's where you come in. \nWill you join us in San Francisco 
 this Tuesday November 5th for the EPA public listening session on 
 coal-fired power plants? Together, we can prevent corporate polluters from 
 hijacking this event.\nHere are the details:\n\nWhat: Rally and Public 
 Listening Session on coal-fired plants\nWho: You, your friends, and people 
 representing a diverse coalition of climate activists. \n\nWhen: Tuesday, 
 November 5th, 9:00am-4:00pm\n\nWhere: U.S. EPA Region 9 Offices, 75 
 Hawthorne St., San Francisco (Click here for a map)\n\nSign Up: Click here 
 to register with the EPA.\nWe know that coal-fired electricity is one of 
 the largest sources of carbon emissions in the US, and that we need to make 
 a just transition to clean energy as soon as possible. These EPA rules can 
 help make that transition happen -- but not if we let the coal industry 
 stand in the way. \nCoal is bad for our health, bad for our communities, 
 and bad for the climate. From Appalachia, where the tops of mountains are 
 blown off to mine coal, to communities living with respiratory diseases and 
 cancers in the shadow of power plants, the coal industry has run ragged 
 over our country. Coal CEOs continue to reap profits while ripping off 
 workers and the planet -- and it's past time to move our country and our 
 planet beyond fossil fuels. \nHope you can join us on Tuesday,\nAnna 
 Goldstein for the 350.org team\nP.S. If you can volunteer to take notes, 
 help with hand-outs, and hold signs, please email Connie Mahon at

 listening session in person, the EPA is also accepting input by email at
