Vigil in Palo Alto

Candlelight Vigil for Climate Change -- A Message of Hope for Action in Copenhagen
On December 11th & 12th, people from around the world will gather in their communities and light candles of hope to send a message to our leaders in Copenhagen that we need bold and swift action on climate change. We cannot wait any longer -- we need global action now!
Come join us for a candlelight vigil at King Plaza (in front of City Hall) and the delivery of this important message to our U.S. Representative Anna Eshoo. (There are 2 versions of the letter, in the files below.)
It may rain, so bring an umbrella.
Event details: We will gather at King Plaza and then walk to Anna Eshoo's office to deliver a thank you, photos from recent 350 events and letters urging bold movement on climate policy. We will then return to King Plaza where we will have a few speakers and spell out 350 with our candles for a photo. Our photos will be delivered to 350.org and included in the photos presented at Copenhagen. Please bring a candle if you can, if not we will have extras.
Please RSVP below so we can send any additional event details out to you!

Following the vigil there will be a series of films shown at World
Centric featuring Climate Change with a discussion afterwards. Time:
7:00 PM 2121 Staunton Ct. Palo Alto, CA 94306, just behind JJ&F. To
RSVP for this film event see: http://www.350.org/node/13432

Thanks,

Understanding 350
- So, what is global warming and what's the problem anyway?
- And what does this 350 number even mean?
- If we're already past 350, are we all doomed?
- How do we create the political change to steer towards 350?
- How do we get the world on track to get to 350?
- How do we actually reduce carbon emissions to get to 350??
- Will this thing work? Will world leaders listen?
- Where did this 350 number come from?
- Isn't America the biggest source of the problem? What about China and India?
- 350 is just a number. Wouldn't "Climate Emergency" or "Clean Energy Now" be a better call to action?
- And what about all the other targets people are aiming for?
- Why October 24th?
- Why another organization--there are already too many things going on!
- Do you measure 350 in CO2 or CO2e?
