Burlington Steps It Up Again!

This weekend in Burlington I had the honor of being a part of Step It Up 2: Burlington. Months of work and organizing culminated in a 3 hour event at Battery Park where more than 500 Vermonters gathered to ask their leaders to Step it Up on Global Warming policy at every level of government.

We had more than 25 tablers with all sorts of info, American Flatbread with their unbelieveably cool portable hearth, sugar snap, and host of other great vendors. We also had a slew of elected officials. Attorney General Sorrell, Speaker of the House Symington, Congressman Welch, Mayor Kiss, and Former Governor Madeline Kunin all made impassioned pleas for those not yet with us on this issue to get informed and get active!

But most importantly, we had you, the people of Burlington and Chittenden county came out in droves on an overcast and chilly day to show your support for stepping up our fight against global climate change. Thank you all so much for coming, it was an important day. But it cannot be the last day. We must continue to organize our friends and mobilize our communities or there will will be no movement and we will not turn back the tide of global climate change.

Thanks again! And the pictures are coming soon!
