Global Climate Convergence Update - Earth Day to May Day 2015
It is less than two months until this year’s Mother Earth Day / May Day mobilization activities, building on last year’s amazing 10 days of action for People, Planet and Peace over Profit! This year, we are calling for two days of action to help halt the assault on our economy, ecology, peace and democracy on Mother Earth Day (April 22) & May Day (May 1), 2015. These days of action including civil disobedience, boycotts and creative community alternatives will lay groundwork for a global People’s Climate Strike in solidarity with the UN Climate protests beginning November 30 of this year.
Share your Earth Day & May Day activities as well as events leading up to them through the GCC website on the GCC Calendar. We have updated our Map & Calendar for 2015 with new & improved functionality - right now, all events submitted to the website are eligible to be included on the GCC Map, but as Mother Earth Day / May Day events are shared, a map exclusively marking Earth Day & May Day related events will be posted. Add your event to the GCC Calendar today to be included on the Map! (Please be patient as we review & approve calendar events before creating a map marker for each. Thank you!)
Print Mother Earth Day / May Day Mobilization Flyers!
Spread the word about Earth Day / May Day & the People’s Climate Strike by printing ED / MD flyers and sharing them through social networking, emails, blogs, organizational websites and more. This year’s flyers include several designs and are available in English & Spanish.
Join the GCC and the rest of the Food & Climate Justice Working Group of the Philadelphia US Social Forum (USSF) in planning a People’s Movement Assembly (PMA) around the People’s Climate Strike. The GCC USSF PMA Planning Committee conference call happens every other Monday at 4pm PST / 7pm EST. The next call is happening Monday, March 16, 2015.
