09/15/14 SOS, SAVE OUR PLANET: THE PEOPLE'S CLIMATE MA

Monday, September 15, 2014   7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

SOS, Save Our Planet: The Peoples Climate March and Beyond 
with
Christian Parenti, professor of sustainable development at the 
School for International Training, Graduate Institute. He is a 
contributing editor to the Nation and the author of four books, 
the most recent being Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the 
New Geography of Violence 
and
Mary Sweeters, Greenpeace Arctic Campaigner and Coordinator 
in the Global Climate March. She has spent the last seven years 
at Greenpeace organizing numerous communities around climate 
change. She participated in an action hanging a giant banner on 
Mt. Rushmore to call out Pres. Obama to take action on climate
change.  She recently traveled to the Arctic to study and raise
awareness of the meltdown of the ice caps and the dangers
of Arctic oil drilling. 

As we approach the Peoples Climate March, Sunday, September 21st, 
where hundreds of thousands are expected to take to the streets, to 
demand an economy that works for people and the planet; a world safe 
from the ravages of climate change; a world with good jobs, clean air 
and water, and healthy communities, we’ll dialogue with Christian Parenti 
and youth activist Mary Sweeters to help build support for the march and 
beyond  to incorporate an environmental justice agenda in all of our
endeavors.  To change everything, we need everybody!
