[cma-l] September 21st Day of Action on Climate Change

[Phil Shepherd]

Help create a viral video tool for the massive day of climate action on
September 21.............

Online activists Avaaz say  'We're 46 days away from the largest climate
mobilisation the world has ever seen. Our massive climate day of action
already has 350,000 people committed to taking part. This is huge, but it's
not yet enough. We need more buzz and more people to ensure world leaders
see that the demand for climate action has hit a tipping point. And we have
just the plan to make that happen.

We can make our passion infectious, to motivate people with what¹s worth
saving from climate change and worth getting out in the streets to stand up
for. There's an all star video crew standing by to turn this powerful story
about all the things worth saving from the impacts of climate change into an
amazing viral video that we can use as an organizing tool to get even more
people inspired to join us in this historic day of climate action.

All we need is all of us. This powerful video requires real, inspiring
moments from people around the world. And there¹s no group better to provide
footage for this than us. We¹re spread across every corner of the globe, and
we demonstrate every day that there is beauty and hope even as we work to
create the more just world we want. So take a few minutes to think about
what you feel is #worthsaving from climate change and why you are called to
stand up in this global day of action. Then click the link below and share
your short clip to be included in the #worthsaving climate video:

Here are the basic steps to share your video clip:

1. Find an old video clip that you love or shoot a new one. You don¹t have
to film anything new if you already have something. You don't need to edit,
narrate, or add any fancy visuals (though if you want to you should!). We¹re
looking for real moments that show the beauty and power of humanity. A
moment that moves you will move others.
2. Upload your video to YouTube (info here on how to do this)
3. Email worthsaving at avaaz.org with the YouTube link to your video

Recently, President Obama told the New York Times that when it comes to
climate change: ³ŒWith public opinion there¹s nothing I cannot do, and
without public opinion there¹s nothing I can get done.² Our political
representatives across the globe are not yet convinced that  enough people
are concerned about climate change. This massive day of climate action on
September 21 is one of our best opportunities to show the world¹s most
powerful leaders that the public stands with them for ambitious climate
action. For that, we need the climate movement to have a growth spurt. We
need more people than ever before to demonstrate the rising tide of demand
for action.'
