Join a March for Climate Action!
Guest Perspective/ReEnergize New Hampshire

Dear Friends,
Imagine this: thousands converging on New Hampshire's capitol, uniting to demand national action for a clean energy economy and real solutions to global warming.
Join us for the March to ReEnergize New Hampshire to help make this vision a reality:



Global warming is serious, and people are catching on. We read it in the newspaper and hear it on the radio. Now it's crept into the centerfold of Vanity Fair and it's printed on our yogurt lids. It's a hit in Hollywood and a focus of classrooms across the country. Yet despite the buzz, we haven't seen actions that match the scale of the problem.
But with all eyes on the Granite State this primary season, we have the opportunity to make sure something is done.
RSVP here to join us for an hour, a day, or for the whole march: http://www.climatesummer.org/march
We'll gather on July 31st in Greeley Park in Nashua, ready to kick off five days of walking to call for the scale of action our country needs. We'll stay at farms where the bounty has diminished over the warming years and churches whose congregations have found faith in our ability as a community to confront global warming.
We'll walk beside Bill McKibben, founder of Step It Up and a guiding voice in this movement. Granny D will be there, who - at the age of 89 - crossed the country afoot for a cause of her own. Now at 97, she's promised us that she'll be back on the road.
You, your family and friends are invited! RSVP and bring everyone you know: http://www.climatesummer.org/march
On the morning of Aug. 5, we'll gather with thousands as we walk the last mile into the center of Concord and rally on the State House lawn. En masse, we'll make the loudest call to our leaders yet: we want clean energy, green jobs, and a strong economy to cut our carbon emissions 80 percent by 2050.
We're writing this because we want you to be there too. We're just 25 college students who figured tight quarters and long hours was a cheap price to pay for our future.
So please, join us. Sign up to march for one day or all five. Prepare a meal or play a song. Make a few calls, and send this letter to everyone you know. Time is short, but together, we've got all the energy we need.
We look forward to seeing you there!
