Stopping Climate Change: What's Next? National Live Video Strategy Session
Wednesday, November 30, 2011, 5:45 pm, Buttrick 201
To gather input from all over
the country on what should come next, the Tar Sands Action organizing
team is holding a nationwide Movement Strategy Session this Wednesday,
Nov. 30. The Nashville session on the Vanderbilt campus will begin by
watching a live video chat led by the Tar Sands Action organizing team.
They will lay out some of the ideas they have about what we could do
next, outline a few possible campaigns, how they relate to Keystone XL
and the tar sands, and what we could do to take action on each. Then,
our Nashville group will discuss what we think should be the next steps
in a national effort to stop climate change. We'll report back to the
Tar Sands Action organizers in a December 5th nationwide conference
call, where people from all over the country will be providing feedback
on what they want to do.
Please join us at Vandy this
Wednesday as we build a Nashville group working to stop climate change -
while we still can. For more information, visit http://www.meetup.com/Transition-Nashville/.
