Senate President Peter Shumlin will address a rally this Saturday, Nov. 3 at 12:00 noon in Pliny Park to call for leadership on global warming.
The event will build on Step It Up’s April 14 rally that produced more than 1,400 events in 50 states, the largest global warming event in U.S. history. The events across the country—held one year before the 2008 election— will show the contrast between the intense concern of ordinary Americans and the leadership vacuum in Washington.
Brattleboro-area residents will be gathering to call for real leadership on global warming including the following priorities: (1) No new coal plants, (2) 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050, and (3) 5 million new green jobs.
Music will be provided by Breeze VerDant and friends. Please join us, and bring signs!
When: Saturday, November 3 at 12:00 noon
Where: Pliny Park, corner of Main Street and High Street, downtown Brattleboro (across from the River Garden)
