The U.S. Climate Emergency Council and the Chesapeake Climate Action Network present:

TEN SECRETS TO BETTER CLIMATE ORGANIZING

Want to raise $10,000 for your group in just two weeks? Want to double your e-mail list in two months? If Al Gore's film changed the way you see the world, this training will change the way your organize in your community!

Concerned Americans are becoming increasingly aware that global warming is a planetary emergency. Al Gore's documentary film makes clear that we don't have much time to act. So come to Washington, D.C. on the weekend of October 6-7th and leave fully equipped with practical steps to make a difference in your community.

The staff of U.S. CEC and CCAN have been engaged in direct grassroots organizing around global warming issues for more than four years. We've learned a lot in that time about what works and what doesn't. Our training will not contain theories or hypotheses from academics and think tanks. We'll give you real battle-tested actions and tactics and have already worked!

Learn how to:

Raise $10,000 in two weeks no matter where you live;
Grow your e-mail list from a few dozen to a few thousand in a very short time;
Plan and execute effective local and state campaigns;
Get the media's attention with creative tactics already proven to work;
And MORE!!!
