Hi all, Big News! We managed to leverage sufficient pressure, scrutiny, and input on the Request For Proposals (RFP) process for Clean Power SF, that the RFP is now strong enough to truly get us to 50% clean, renewable electricity in San Francisco within the next decade! The RFP release just passed out of committee yesterday and is headed for a likely successful adoption at the full Board of Supervisors this coming Tuesday :) The next crucial step is to join tomorrow's 3pm rally at the SF Embarcadero as part of a huge global day of action on the climate crisis in which over 4000 actions have been organized worldwide to call for the world's governments to much more rapidly reduce carbon emissions, in order to avert a global environmental collapse. The rising success of Clean Power SF, which will create the largest municipal clean energy project in the world, will be a beacon for this movement, so let's show up tomorrow to celebrate and to help energize the global climate justice movement for victory! Here are the details: http://members.greenpeace.org/event/view/3491/ ***THE BIG ONE*** - Global Day of Action for Climate Justice! WHEN: Saturday, October 24, 3:00 PM WHERE: Justin Herman Plaza/Ferry Building, San Francisco (near Embarcadero BART/Muni at the pierside foot of Market St.) WHAT: Greenpeace joins with 350.org, the Mobilization for Climate Justice, Global Exchange and a variety or other Bay Area organizations to throw a massive event calling on our leaders to join the global community of countries that are committing to strong action on global warming. On Saturday October 24th, citizens from the Bay Area will join thousands around the world in calling for real science-based global warming solutions at the UN Copenhagen climate talks. Starting at 3:00pm on October 24th, we will gather at the Justin Herman Plaza/SF Ferry Bldg. (Embarcadero BART), near foot of Market St., San Francisco. The event will be a culmination for multiple morning events and will include a massive group photo at 3:50pm. There will be a program including climate activists and local poets and performers. The aerial photo will include a massive parachute banner and hundreds of homemade, hand-painted visuals. The message will be calling on Obama for 350 and climate justice. Joining us will be 350 surfers that took action at the beach earlier that day as well as a dozen of bikers finishing a 350 mile bike ride from Northern California, hundreds of folks finishing a bike ride through the city and doing local 350 events at their local BART stations that morning.
