www.MonctonClimateChange.org The International Day of Action on Climate Change prompted a worldwide effort to take to the streets and Canadians joined in.
Organizers for the Climate Change March in Moncton did an amazing job getting the public out marching on a cool winter day of December 8th, 2007. With nearly 200 people, it was the largest D8 gathering in Atlantic Canada. There was an educational expo with life-sized information posters for the participants to take with them to distribute to schools and organiziations in the area. There were speeches following the march urging people to get involved in their governments to make the climate a more prominent issue.
More information can be seen on the website http://www.climatechaos.ca, www.MonctonClimateChange.org and the photos have been uploaded to the international site http://gallery.globalclimatecampaign.org/image/tid/272as well as the a larger photo album of the day can be seen here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=74994&l=6adb2&id=706040547
December 8 was a huge success across Canada, with the largest climate demonstrations ever held in many cities. But our work is far from over. Bali continues, and the Canadian government continues to try to sabotage the talks there in the crucial final week. Please encourage your networks, allies, members of your organizations, and those newly involved as of December 8 to take action today.
