Hey Climateers!

I hope you've marked your calendar for October 24th from 2-4pm, when the Asheville 350 Rally will happen in front of City Hall.
There is going to be a fun selection of kids activities from 2-3 and then a few speakers from 3-3:30 before we will arrange ourselves for a giant action photo like these:


Our photo will be sent to the global 350 organizers and projected around the world in places like NYC's Times Square and the UN Climate Negotiations in Copenhagen! We are making history folks!



Take Action Today:
We need everyone's help to spread the word about the Asheville 350 Day of Action. Spread the word about it wide and far.
If you go to our website, http://asheville350.org you can find links to fliers that can be distributed at schools, churches, grocery stores, or any where else that people might see it and get excited about taking action for our future.

Don't forget to call our Senators regularly and tell them that you care about creating a future that is safe, sustainable, and healthy. Call in and support the Climate Bill sponsored by Sen. Kerry and Sen. Boxer today (the people who answer the phone are really friendly).
Sen. Hagan - 1-877-852-9452 or send a message at http://hagan.senate.gov/?p=contact
Sen. Burr - local (828) 350-2437 or send a message at http://burr.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Contact.ContactForm

Sustainably yours,
