never seen this before? What if I

knew I would never see it

again?'”

thoughtful, committed citizens can change the

world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our

Ancestors, we borrow it from our

Children."

Today you are a part of the biggest global climate action in the history of our planet.

We desperately need to succeed.

Don’t let the momentum stop today.

Keep asking what you can do.


Be the change that you want to see in

the world. Mahatma Gandhi


"To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, and kindness What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives....”


“If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places (and there are so many) where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction...”


“And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."-Howard Zinn


We are just getting started.

Today is a new beginning. You don’t have to wait to make

changes in our lives and communities.

We can keep doing it together.


The Global Work Party.

10/10/10.

This is happening.

Right now.
