If you read the article, Climate of Opportunity, you have an idea of the large events building the movement over the next months and how we got here, who the players are, et cetera. Of course, we just had a discussion and will be having another one again very soon, to encourage 10-10-10 and to discuss how to structure it into the larger movement for a Just Sustainability Economy. 10-10-10 is something that needs a lot of planning and preparation ahead of time so we should be focusing on it now, however, 16 days before October 10th GLobal Work Party is Appalachia Rising, and we should be registering for it now.
Most of our energy comes from Coal and a lot of that comes from Mountain Top Removal, "devastating communities throughout Appalachia, polluting drinking water and destroying rivers" in the words of iLoveMountains.org Everyone cares about the Gulf, but why do so few know and care about this?
We will discuss some practicalities about getting there at the next Amp Up discussion which will be announced soon, in addition to 10-10-10 and the movement for a Just Sustainable Economy.
