The passage of the Waxman-Markey bill in June may not be reason to celebrate but it is certainly reason to party. That’s because we’re going to have to fight hard to get a strong bill from the Senate in the coming months and partying is actually one of the best ways to prepare ourselves for that fight.
With everything we’re up against including a coal lobby that forges letters to our congressional leaders, we need to do everything we can this August to strengthen our movement for the fight ahead. That means taking actions like our campaign to collect 1000 handwritten letters to Cardin, but it also means building our community, connecting with one another, having fun.
In other words, we need to have some parties. Climate community mixers are just as critical to growing our movement as the actions we take, and as with our actions, the success of our parties depends upon you.
Please volunteer today to host a climate house party this month. Hosting is really simple; all you need to contribute is a space for a few dozen local climate activists to meet, mingle and have fun. CCAN will help you work out the details, spread the word, and turn out the crowd.
Contact me (keith@chesapeakeclimate.org) today to register to host an house party. You won’t find a funner way to help our movement this summer. Once you’ve registered, I’ll give you a ring to help get the party started. Sign up now and help us make this an eventful August.
