My days of citizen activism (I’m ashamed to say) are largely behind me, but that doesn’t mean I still can’t plug it.
Saturday, April 14, is a National Day of Climate Action, with thousands of events and demonstrations taking place all over the country. Check it out.
P.S. For local folks here in Winston-Salem
April 14, 2007 10:00AM to 12:00PM
Event Description:
Join your friends and Sierra Club members at Hanes Park near downtown Winston-Salem from 10-noon. We will be across the street from Mock Orange Bikes at the corner of West End Boulevard and Reynolda Road. Kids, come get your face painted, everyone else, step up and sign petitions for local and national action to stop global warming! And for bikers- 2 ride options! 10:00 Join the Mock Orange Road bike ride for a faster pace, 50 mile ride. 10:30 A more casual pace ride of 12-15 miles. Look for us at the Step It Up banner in the park. We may even have live music!! And of course, wear GREEN to show your love for Mother Earth. Also learn about other local events in this run-up to Earth Day — films, fairs, green building designs, all in Winston-Salem, all in April, all to help us be more informed citizens regarding the important topic of Climate Change. See you there!
There’s also a candlelight vigil in the evening.
