UPCOMING ACTIONS AND EVENTS:

1) FOSSIL FOOLS DAY - INTERNATIONAL, 1.4.08
Roll up, roll up...the circus is coming to town, and it's going to be big!
For over a century the fossil fuel industry has been fooling with our
lives. From extraction to combustion they have poisoned our air, polluted
our water and ruined our climate. On April 1st, we’re going to turn the
tables and show them who the real fools are. Rising Tide's call has been
backed by Network for Climate Action, Global Exchange and Rainforest
Action Network. There are actions planned across the country and around
the world - let us know what you get up to! (Or tell us in advance if you
can and we’ll help spread the word, get media attention, etc.) Contact
local groups or just do it yourself. Show the fossil fool clowns what you
think of their freakshow - It's time to Pull a Prank that Packs a Punch!
