Mother Earth Day to May Day, 2014
Education & Direct Action for Emergency Green Economic Transformation
http://globalclimateconvergence.org/ #ClimateConvergence.org

A movement for democracy & justice is sweeping the globe – from democracy revolutions to anti-austerity uprisings, occupy protests; resistance to student debt & school-to-prison pipelines; movements for rights of workers, immigrants, women & indigenous peoples; for sustainable food, water & renewable energy; uprisings against tar sands, fracking, nuclear power, GMOs & more. The accelerating climate collapse intensifies all these struggles and provides new urgency for collaboration & action.

In fact, the growing climate crisis is predicted to make civilization as we know it unlivable as soon as 2050, when we’re expected to reach a critical threshold, (two to four degrees Celsius warming), bringing drought, flood, agricultural decline, rising seas, killer heat waves and mass extinctions sufficient to begin widespread civilization collapse. Clearly, the time for action is NOW!
