Party for the Planet from Live Earth and MoveOn.com. Join in with 2 BILLION of our human kin in a celebration of our beloved Terra/ Gaia/Mother Earth and leave a little more inspired, informed and organized to act on behalf of ALL our kin, including our 6 Billion human cousins.
Here’s the event, RSVP to let me know you will come by:
As far as Earth's climate is concerned, 7/7/07 may be the most significant day since the discovery of oil. On seven continents, millions of people will gather for Al Gore's Live Earth concerts to stop the climate crisis.
We want MoveOn members everywhere to have front row seats for this historic event, so we're throwing a "Party for the Planet." We'll hear a special message from Al Gore, tune in to the concerts, and see the presidential candidates answering your questions on the climate crisis.
Here's what we've got planned for the evening:
• We'll kick off on 7/7/07 at 6:30 p.m. with a potluck with other interested folks from our neighborhood.
• Then, we'll watch a special message from Al Gore.
• We'll see a sneak preview of the presidential candidates answering MoveOn members' questions on global warming—part of our Virtual Town Hall on Climate.
• At 8, we'll tune in to the concerts on NBC with The Police, Madonna, Dave Matthews, The Beastie Boys, and millions of other human beings.
• Afterwards we'll head home, energized and connected, to work on a set of specific next steps—starting with our online vote on the candidate with the best climate plan.
Youth and teens especially welcome; hey who else are we doing this for but our young.??? The event is wheelchair accessible.
And for those who wish to regain a whiff of their own early political histories, we are holding this in a genuine Unitarian church hall.
