Hi fellow 2/17 DC climate action supporters,

Thanks everyone for support of 350.org action in your various ways.  Sorry this is later than I had planned.  Just a few ideas, opportunities and potential means of connecting for further actions in the capital region.

1. "Changing the Climate"  get together this weekend (3/22-24) at the mediasantuary.org in Troy 

2. TD bank(biggest investor in Transcanada, Keystone XLTarsands pipeline) demos locally in support of Tarsandsblockade.org encouraging "move your money".

3. April 1 is Fossil Fools Day,  a fun day to highlight fossil fools,  initiated by Adbusters, who also initiated OWS.

4. Local google group list re climate actions(see below)

5. 50over50.org , an offshoot of 350 folks over 50 who recognize their career risk  for direct actions are smaller than younger folks whose climate we have been messing with.

6. TarsandsBlockade.org ,a now national movement initiating the TD Bank and other actions.  

7.  Dan...@nyagainstfracking.org

As an ecodestructive being in recovery, one day at a time,  I look for support groups to do things with.  I try to spend 80% of my energy in positive actions, helping to create the new world being built under the collapsing old destructive paradyme.  Groups like Neighbors for Peace, Transition Towns, Permaculture, CapDistLocalFirst(Balle), Greens, Farmersmarkets, and many others help me "girlcott",  the positive alternative to boycotts.

I also feel like I need to do what I can to stop the greedy, destructive actions going on now, like wars, injustice, nukes, corporate control of our culture, government and economic system, and further fossil foolishness that's messing our planet up for our kids and their kids, all living beings.  

So,  if people want to get a local support network, perhaps we could use the below 350 list to share ideas,  maybe get occasional regional, county or city in-person groups.   Thoughts, ideas, actions welcome.

"and if they all do one thing beautifully, complex life on Earth might survive"   from song by Holly Near

Lets do good work and have a good time,

My 2c,   pete looker, 399-7118
