Rally to Kick Coal and Oil OUT of LA! October 10, 2010

RSVP TODAY! at http://www.350.org/node/17488

Los Angeles is too dependent on dirty fossil fuels. Coal-fired power plants in Arizona and Utah deliver dirty, dangerous, and increasingly expensive power to Los Angeles. Locally, oil refineries poison the Los Angeles air, harming local residents while making climate change worse. These same coal and oil companies take the money we pay for our power and use it to fight public health, ...safety and environmental standards at City Hall, the State Capitol, and in Washington D.C.

Enough is enough.

There is a solution to our over-dependence on these dirty ways of getting power. Efficiency projects and clean energy can help replace dirty coal. Better public transportation, bike paths, and electric vehicles can help end our addiction to oil. Los Angeles can lead the nation in this clean energy transition, attracting new job-creating industries to our city. We can create jobs by moving towards a cleaner future, but we need YOUR help!

Join Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, Communities for a Better Environment, Green LA Coalition, California Student Sustainability Coalition, Coalition for Clean Air, and many more groups from all over LA on October 10th to rally against the coal and oil industries’ grip on Los Angeles. This rally is being held as people stand up in cities all over the world as part of an international day of action against climate change.
