Hi Friends,

We can stop the climate crisis and rebuild our economy if we quit coal. But the Capitol Power Plant, sitting just blocks from Congress, symbolizes the stranglehold coal has over our government and future. Even though clean alternatives are readily available, Big Coal’s allies in Congress keep this polluting plant open.

That’s why on March 2nd dozens of groups across the country are organizing the largest mobilization against coal in history.  Thousands of people will turn out to take a stand against the Capitol Power Plant and for a clean energy future.

We need YOUR help on Facebook!  On Tuesday February 3rd we are calling for a Facebook Day of Action to help spread the word and send thousands of event invites.

TAKE ACTION NOW!

1) Invite ALL your friends to the Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/event.php?eid=50666378622

Whether folks can make it to DC or not, we want to publicize this movement far and wide!

2) RSVP to show your support for the Capitol Coal Action.

3) Update your Facebook status: “On March 2nd, we all quit coal: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/event.php?eid=50666378622 ”

If you are interested in our thinking behind this, we are aiming to pioneer new tactics in online organizing and Facebook Days of Action provide a unique opportunity to create buzz on Facebook all at once.  Folks will see several of their friends signing up and will want to be in on the fun and pass the word along and thus amplify the number of invitees exponentially.  Also, after the designated push time comes to an end, the Facebook Event administrator can send a message all the new invitees before they have a chance  to RSVP “no” to the Event.  That way we have an extra chance to get folks excited about the action.

Together we can create a beautiful green future!

Peace and thanks,

Chris
