This meeting is specially devoted just to the global protests leading up to “the big one” on Sunday, 11/29/15, the day before the annual global summit on climate change in Paris.

We will meet on Thursday, 9/3/15, at 7 pm at the RESources offices on the second floor of the RE Store building at 2309 Meridian [and Broadway].

This will be a roundtable for all groups in Whatcom county focused on environmental issues [as well as groups focused on issues impacted by climate chaos, such as peace, food security, public health, etc.] to discuss two related items in a timely manner:

  1. What is our message to world leaders meeting in Paris next day?
  2. What is our message to our Seven Billion Sisters and Brothers?
  3. What is our message to fellow activists around the world?
  4. What specific action or actions do we want to organize and/or support here in Bellingham and/or Seattle, Vancouver, BC, and Peace Arch Park?
  5. How can we work together to make those actions most effective in delivering the messages we wish to convey?

The more groups that participate in this roundtable the more effective it will be, so I hope you will contact the groups you are involved with to make sure someone from that group will be able to attend. Clearly, this roundtable will not be a decision-making process, but it would be great if people could take back to their groups whatever is discussed that night so groups can get started on planning actions and collaborations in a timely manner.
