Description
This December, world leaders will be meeting in Poznan, Poland for the UN Climate Change Conference to decide the next steps on tackling global warming. It’s a perfect opportunity for President-elect Obama to send a clear message to the rest of the world that the U.S. is ready to be part of the solution. That’s why on December 6th friends of Greenpeace will be joining people throughout the world for an International Day of Action for Climate Solutions. In the U.S., we’ll be holding rallies and taking photos at iconic locations in over 30 cities to send a message to the President-elect that the American people support strong action to save the climate!

What better way to send that message than with a massive 30 by 50 foot postcard -- letting our world leaders know that here in Chicago we’re ready for climate solutions! And, they’ll know it’s from us because we’re posing in front of the Wrigley Square Monument.

We’ll have a few speakers, then we’ll take a massive group photo with our custom made 30 x 50 ft. banner. The very next day, our Greenpeace activists in Poland will deliver the photos of YOUR rally to climate negotiators, sending the message that Americans are ready for climate solutions.

Show President-elect Obama you’re serious about global warming and RSVP for the day of action in Chicago today.
