All the events on March 2:

Monday 02 March 2009 - Mass Civil Disobedience and Rally
Posted by: Webmaster  Category: Events  Contact: Info@CanaryCoalition.org 
When: Monday 02 March 2009
Location: Capitol Power Plant, Washington DC
Make history March 2, 2009 in Washington, D.C.

Be part of the largest mass civil disobedience for the climate in U.S. history.

You know there is a climate crisis. You know we have to solve it. It’s time to take our action to the next level.

With a new administration and a new Congress, we have a window of opportunity. But we have to open it — together.

On March 2, join thousands of people in a multi-generational act of civil disobedience at the Capitol Power Plant — a plant that powers Congress with dirty energy and symbolizes a past that cannot be our future. Let’s use this as a rallying cry for a clean energy economy that will protect the health of our families, our climate, and our future.

This will be a peaceful demonstration, carried out in a spirit of hope and not rancor. We will be there in our dress clothes, and ask the same of you.

It’s time to take a stand on global warming. We can’t wait any longer for the changes we KNOW we can, and must, make today.

HOP ON THE BUS!

The Canary Coalition is organizing transportation from Asheville, North Carolina to the Capitol Climate Action in Washington D.C. Call 828-631-3447 or email for more info.

Most people who join this demonstration are NOT planning to perform civil disobedience and be arrested. But, we need numbers and support.
