DESCRIPTION:CLIMATE STRIKE: "Forest" of People with Protest Signs of Climate Crisis 
 News Headlines\n\nWhen: Thursday, Sept. 26 @ 5 PM - 6:30 PM \n\nWhere: busy 
 blocks of Pacific Garden Mall in Santa Cruz\n\nCitizens Climate Lobby Santa 
 Cruz and Santa Cruz for Bernie are joining forces to create two actions 
 during the week of the Global Climate Strike, Sept 20 - 27. The two actions 
 will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 24 noon-1:30 and on Thursday, Sept. 26 
 from 5 - 6:30 pm. Both will occur on busy blocks of Pacific Garden Mall. 
 We’d love everybody from any group and no group to join us!\n\nA 'FOREST' 
 of SIGNS:\n\nParticipants will be creating a forest of climate crises and 
 climate adaptations/solutions headlines. Each of us will hold a sign with 
 an actual climate crisis headline on one side, and an actual headline 
 describing efforts to intervene or mitigate or adapt to the crisis we’re 
 now experiencing on the other side. You will choose both headlines that you 
 would like on your sign. Each sign will be unique, not repeating the same 
 headline from the same publication as another participant. You will be 
 provided a link to an organizing document to see which headlines have 
 already been claimed and to claim your headlines as well.\n\nSo what makes 
 it a forest? Our formation. We will deploy ourselves on both sides of a 
 busy block of Pacific Ave on Tuesday and on Cooper St. on Thursday. We will 
 space ourselves like trees in a forest so people going about their business 
 will have to weave their way among us, like walking through a forest. Some 
 of us will be clustered and some will be spaced out randomly, like a 
 forest. In our pocket each of us will have a cell phone whose alarm is set 
 to go off at some point during the 1.5 hours that we will be rooted on the 
 sidewalk. As our alarms multiply, so will the effect of walking through the 
 headlines forest. If you are unable to stand for 1.5 hours, it would be 
 great to bring a little stool or chair to root yourself to. Some trees are 
 young and just springing up.\n\nNEED HANDBILL VOLUNTEERS:\n\nWe also need 
 at least 6 people for each day who won’t carry a sign but will be handing 
 out quarter sheets to the people weaving their way among us. You will be 
 interacting with people if they so wish, but the rest of us will just be 
 trees, not looking to talk to anyone (you know how trees are). The quarter 
 sheets will advertise local groups like ours and others that people can get 
 involved with. If you’d like to be one of those people, let me know in 
 the notes part of the document (the last field).\n\nIf you are interested 
 in being in this action, please follow the link and sign up on the 
 interactive document. Be sure to fill out all the 
 fields.\n\nhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FBVDv5KosMrg63I-1cCjNeoaK9AMga5MjmHvAgqgvHg/edit#gid=52961842\n\nThe 
 organizing document will lead you through the steps of choosing your 
 headlines, choosing whether you’d like me to print your sign or do your 
 own printing, and determining the size and make-up of the signs, clothing, 
 etc. If you can only do one of the two actions, that’s fine. Just let me 
 know that on the organizing document. The more of us trees on the sidewalk, 
 the more we will be able to impress the public with the plethora of news 
 coming out now about climate disruption, something nobody should be able to 
 ignore any longer.\n\nIf you haven’t already, I strongly suggest signing 
 up for Magi Amma’s Climate News Roundup at http://hotair.magiamma.com/ 
 This is a rich and skillfully curated collection of climate news that is a 
 resource for all of us.\n
