Internation Day of Climate Action (October 24)

[Claire Pella]

Hi,
 
If you could forward the information for this event (see below) to the PACS mailing list, we would much appreciate it.  We are also looking for volunteers to help with site set-up, organising the march, and possibly also with running the tech for the musical performances.  Anyone interested in volunteering can e-mail me at athenes1 at hotmail.com.

 
Thanks,
 
Claire Pella
