Tomorrow (thursday april 1st) Genesse Valley
Earth first is planning a mass bike ride for Fossils fools day (info
about Fossil fools day is below.)
It will be at 6pm and we will be
meeting at the liberty pole. Hope to see you there!
Fossil
Fool's Day! April 1st, 2010
The fossil fools ain't no joke -
but that doesn't mean we can't fight them with one!
The Fossil
Fuel Empire is real and it's here. The stakes couldn't be higher:
destabilization of the global climate, communities from Alaska to
Alberta to Appalachia being destroyed by dirty energy extraction and
combustion, devastating super hurricanes, droughts, flooding, the
list goes on...
Last December in Copenhagen, the politicians
sold us out to the fossil fools, corporate lobbyists and big banks.
Now we're left with "green capitalism," carbon market
shenanigans and continued assaults on our communities and ecosystems.
If we’re going to stop climate
change, the only real solution is
to keep fossil fuels in the ground.
This April, join Rising
Tide North America as we pull some
pranks that pack a punch. Use the simply subversive to the downright
disruptive: office occupations, banner drops, road blockades,
clownish parades, spoof product launches, sub-vertising, leaflets,
street theater, lock-downs and laugh-ins. Whatever works for you and
your group!
Climate change is no laughing matter, but we can’t
take things too seriously all the time. Join us this Fossil Fools Day
as we employ our senses
of humor to hatch some harebrained
schemes that will strike a blow to fossil foolery everywhere!
And
remember what Abbie
Hoffman said: "The first duty
of a revolutionary is to get away with it."
Let us know
if your group wants to endorse or co-sponsor!
