Rally for the Future:
A National Day of Climate Action

Step It Up's second historic event to demand
national leadership on global warming

November 3 -- Noon-4pm
Juilliard Park (City Hall in case of rain)
Santa Rosa

Enjoy an afternoon of SPEAKERS, LIVE MUSIC, student-made FILMS, fluorescent light bulb give-away, children ’s art contest and more! On April 14, 2007, the Step It Up rally had more than 1,400 events in 50 states, the largest global warming event in U.S. history. On November 3, events across the country - held one year before the 2008 election— will show the contrast between the intense concern of ordinary Americans and the leadership in Washington DC.
