BPF Boston: Climate Change, Despair, and Empowerment Road Show with John Seed

[BPF Boston chapter announcements]

We're lucky to be so close to so many amazing things going on in the 
Boston area.  One of these is the John Seed road show, coming up on 
May 10th.  Since we're late in getting our plans together for the May 
gathering, we've decided to gather as part of this John Seed evening 
in May.  Please let me know if you have any ideas for future 
gatherings, as we would welcome leadership as well as regular 
participation by anyone interested.

In peace,

May Gathering

Climate Change, Despair, and Empowerment Road Show with John Seed
Thursday, May 10, 2007, 7-9 PM

First Parish Church, Cambridge (in Harvard Square)

Sponsored by the Environmental Group of First Parish Cambridge, 
Greenport, and Interhelp

The reality of climate change can make us feel overwhelmed and can 
fill us with fear or despair. This road show with Australian deep 
ecologist John Seed aims to catalyze, invigorate, and support 
grassroots climate study/action groups across North America.

It will:
    * Address the hopeless despair that many people feel and provide 
tools to transform despair into empowerment and effective action.
    * Raise awareness and inspire political action towards the real 
solutions that we must insist upon (e.g., end subsidies to the fossil 
fuel industries, support energy efficiency, solar and wind power, etc.)
    * Provide resources for the many things that we can all do to 
turn the situation around.
    * Offer a chance to connect with local actions and local activists.

Cost: Sliding scale donation for the Rainforest Network For more
