Step It Up Action for Climate for Americans

I signed myself up for a "green" newsletter from Environmental Defense, but the last one has information on a campaign I can't participate in as a Canadian. So for any Americans out there who are interesting in climate change and want to make it an issue during the U.S. election campaign, here is the body of the newsletter.


You have an important and exciting opportunity to take part in local global warming events across the country this Saturday, November 3.Environmental Defense is partnering with Step It Up 2007 and asking our online activists and supporters across the country to organize and participate in community rallies to demand leadership on global warming.

Please go to www.stepitup2007.org to learn how you can get involved.

November 3 is one year before the 2008 elections. The goal is to keep global warming at the top of the national agenda as the campaign season starts in earnest.

On the Step It Up site, you can join activists from nearly 100 grassroots advocacy organizations. Using the simple tools on the site, you can join a local event or start a new one.

This is a very exciting opportunity to coordinate with thousands of other activists in hundreds of communities across the country to keep political pressure on our national political candidates for real global warming action.

So far, every major party presidential candidate and more than 300 members of Congress have been invited to a Step It Up event.

By coordinating activities with so many other groups, we hope to turn up the heat on all of our political leaders and focus attention on their plans to fight global warming.

Please go to www.stepitup2007.org today to sign up and get involved.

Thanks for all you do,
Environmental Defense Action Network
