ecoSanity’s all-March long ecoACTathon!

All-March Long ecoACTathon

Knowledge is of little consequence unless it’s acted upon.

YOU’RE INVITED to participate in ecoSanity’s All-March Long ecoACTathon: 4 big weeks of fun, informative and urgent environmental and social justice events in Toronto!

Goals

To help motivate/force EMERGENCY international action at EMERGENCY (war-time!) speed to confront the clear, present, accelerating global threat posed by the climate crisis to the survival of most life — this century(!);
To inform/inspire YOU to attend, participate, volunteer and contribute to this effort like never before, and to help grow the kind of impassioned, committed, survival-motivated movement necessary to pressure EMERGENCY government/corporate transformation on a massive scale — FAST;
To share specific skills, knowledge and perspective that may be of interest/benefit to both future, and current, active citizens/organizations;
To support/help document other groups’ essential initiatives;
To garner a new level of financial/resource support that will allow us to maximize our impact in the lead up to the June G8/G20 Leaders Summits, the 2010 People’s Summit the weekend before, and all that is anticipated to transpire between/during in and around Toronto.

Plans

Along with the fresh, new look and enhanced capacity of our website/online presence(!), all-new, essential blogeye posts and HD videos…

ecoSanity will attend/shoot pics and video at the big March 3rd, RAN/RANToronto day of non-violent direct action and afternoon rally outside the RBC AGM in Toronto (with solidarity actions across Canada!), and at the Post Carbon Toronto speaking event with Author/peak oil/energy expert, Richard Heinberg (March 22).

eco-S original activities include an all-new, Video, Stills & Staging: Tips to Image YOUR Activism, workshop (March 13), and a climactic volunteer call-out for Earth (Emergency!) Hour Toronto, followed by Candlelight Drinks After (March 27).

G8/G20 Leaders Summits & 2010 People’s Summit (Toronto Area)

We also seek to spread the word and help build momentum toward 10 days of activity around the G8/G20 Leaders Summits (June 25-27).

The often devastating impacts of G8/G20 policies on communities the world over will be exposed/opposed on the weekend prior by the more representative/legitimate/diverse, 2010 People’s Summit: Building a Movement for a Just World (June 18-20).

And a week of both family friendly and other mass-public protests will be led by various impacted communities; NGO’s; activists; trade union, faith and youth groups; artists; and alliances like the Toronto Community Mobilization Network, among others.

Why an ecoACTathon?

First and foremost, to encourage YOU to PARTICIPATE, TAKE ACTION (Ways 2 Act Now) and JOIN US!

ecoSanity is an uncommon volunteer organization with a rare, independent, undiluted and uncompromised EMERGENCY message based on the *latest* science and run on a shoestring. What we do and say and how we do and say it doesn’t fit into traditional charity or foundation funding boxes.

And the reality is, the considerable forces in place that are opposed to the political, economic and ecological transformation necessary are huge, powerful, pathological — and wealthy.

Just as a survivable future for humanity and most life hangs in the balance, so does eco-S‘s ability to continue to translate this hard truth.

Knowledge is of little consequence unless it’s acted upon.

We invite YOU to do whatever you can to help enable and empower ALL OF US to do more! Attend one or more activities. Participate, volunteer and/or donate essential funds/resources.

Support our urgent work to mobilize and advocate for bold, effective, EMERGENCY action to confront the climate crisis and the profound social injustices it poses.

Join the EMERGENCY movement. Join the Race — 2 Survival.

Thank you — And see you all March long!
