Making Art for the Climate

Calling all crafty & artistic folks! Art is a powerful visual for elected leaders who may be a little disconnected from constituents. Across the country, volunteers decorated murals last year and we dropped them off in Congressional offices on the Hill. This year when we returned, those murals were hung up in many offices throughout Capitol Hill. That's some grassroots impact!

As we lead up to the holidays and continue with hearings in the Senate on a climate bill, it's the perfect time to host something festive - including anyone ranging from you, your friends, or your kids to inviting new people to join your efforts.

Between now and November 23rd, we're asking you to hold a small art gathering where you decorate a piece of fabric (or old sheet) representing the urgency of acting now. We're recommending writing Tck Tck Tck on it to tie it into an international movement leading up to climate talks in Copenhagen.

Sign up today by following this link to our online network: http://1sky.org/art or just shoot an email to local[at]1sky.org.

We'll reach out to you and make sure you get an envelope with pre-paid postage to mail your mural back in.
