Walk for the Climate


Interfaith Walk for Climate Rescue
March 16 to 24, 2007 - Northampton to Boston
A moral call for swift, bold, and comprehensive political action to address global warming

2006 was the turning point for public awareness of global warming.
2007 must be the turning point for action.
Author and activist Bill McKibben invites you to join the Interfaith Walk for Climate Rescue, Northampton to Boston, March 16-24, 2007. Read his letter here.
You can walk for an hour, an afternoon, a weekend, or the whole nine days. You can walk as an individual, a family, or a team from your community, school, or congregation. You can be of any faith or none.
We'll call for swift, bold, and comprehensive political action to address global warming. By the time we get to Boston on Saturday, March 24, we expect the largest global warming demonstration in the history of the United States.
Don't miss this opportunity to make climate change history.
Blessings,
Rev. Dr. Andrea Ayvazian
Rabbi Fred Scherlinder Dobb
