We're the producers of THE GREAT WARMING (www.thegreatwarming.com ) - a major documentary about climate change that we'd like to bring to your attention. The editorial premise of THE GREAT WARMING is that there is NO LONGER ANY DOUBT that human activities are having a profound effect on Earth's climate. THE GREAT WARMING has been endorsed by a remarkable coalition representing all sectors of US discourse - liberal and conservative, environmentalist and scientists, faith-based and secular. Our partners include the National Council of Churches, National Assoc. of Evangelicals, Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life, as well as New York Climate Rescue, Friends of the Earth, US Climate Action Network, the Earth Day Network, the Union of Concerned Scientists, etc. All of our partners believe that the issue of climate change is much more than a science or environmental issue; it is also an ethical and spiritual issue... and a key political issue in the next election. The film premiered last week at the Ziegfeld to over 1,000 people. Karen Coshof, Producer Start: 23:00

Start: Members Bernadette Evangelist and Dave Robinson join our friends in peace and pass this request on to our friends at DFNYC: "Hillary Clinton has betrayed her constituents and her own principles. She voted to give this most reckless, duplicitous and ignorant of presidents unlimited authority to use force in Iraq. As Cindy Sheehan says, 'Hillary Clinton is the leader of the pack of pro-war Democrats. I think that she is a political animal who believes that she has to be a war hawk to keep up with the big boys.' Let's show the as-of-now presumptive Democratic presidential nominee that Republican-lite, pro-war candidates are no longer an option for the opposition party. Let's meet every Friday starting Bring a sign and some friends. Lets's show our "leaders" that we won't tolerate this war based on lies being fought by other people's children.

Start: On Tuesday, January 10th, 2006 at 9:30 a.m. the 18 grannies of the Granny Peace Brigade will appear at Criminal Court in connection with their October 17th action at the Times Square Recruiting Center. The Grannies, many of whom have maintained a "Bring the Troops Home" vigil for two years on Fifth Avenue, attempted to enlist but locked doors prevented them from entering the recruiting center, whereupon they sat down on the sidewalk. The police then arrested them and they were put into wagons, handcuffed (in back). Among the eighteen is Molly Klopot, longtime activist for peace and justice issues, who at 86 is not the oldest granny. Another woman is 90. Come and join with others at their court appearance. Let's demonstrate our support for these courageous women, who already spent jail time when they were booked in October, not to mention their many hours vigilling on Wednesdays for the past two years. Norman Siegel is representing them and the courtroom will be large enough for you to attend. Mark your calendar. Plan to come early as security lines are invariably long. | ||
