Los Angeles Save the Whales Rally!! May 23, 2010

I can’t believe it: We need to save the whales -- again.
President Obama’s delegation to the International Whaling Commission has decided to back a plan that would legitimize commercial whaling for the first time in over 20 years. It's outrageous.

This is the most serious threat to whales since Greenpeace helped establish an international ban on commercial whaling in 1986.

So we are going to take action to remind President Obama that this is unacceptable. On May 23rd Greenpeace will be attending a Save the Whales Rally and would love your voice join the tens of thousands out there! Can you join us at 11:00am at Palisades Park in Santa Monica? Sign up here if you can make it:
