Well, today is it, the National Day of Climate Action! Three months of organizing by Bill McKibben, his crew of six Middlebury College grads, and folks all over the country is culminating today in over 1400 actions. The photos and action reports are streaming in, and a slide show with some of the first pix is scrolling across the screen at the Step It Up site. You can see red-shirted bodies spelling out Step It Up in New Orleans; Middlebury College students spelling it out with flashlights just after midnight this morning; scuba divers with a banner underwater off Key West; bike rallies; kids making colorful banners; contra dance-based activism in Maine; and more.
The best will be tonight at 8:00, when McKibben and friends put on a live webcast of the day's events. Just tune into the same site!
