Step it Up for Global Warming on April 14th!
"I'm going to be a human postcard!" my friend Kelly declared yesterday. She's headed to the Capitol Lawn, April 14 for the big Washington, D.C. Step it Up! event, where she will be part of a giant message to Congress to cut global warming pollution 80 percent by 2050. Join tens of thousands of people across the U.S. who are standing up, stepping up and making global warming a top priority.
There are over 1,000 events taking place nationwide, find one here.
