Largest "Teach-In" in American History "Focus The Nation"
IS ANYONE INVOLVED WITH CURRENT PRODUCING A POD ABOUT FOCUS THE NATION?
As just a humble Senior at Mount Holyoke College and advocate of active participant in society. I wanted to inform. There is an event "Focus the Nation" happening nation-wide on January 31. This movement needs Current TV on its side. I think there is trove of possibilities in conglomeration here! Focus the Nation would be really amped up if it had a little more than local news, and "my space" to broadcast. I think that Current TV and Focus The Nation needed to be properly introduced. And that ya'll organizers and producers should be engaged somehow.
This is what its all about: focusthenation.org
To The Greatest Generation,
Focus the Nation is changing history. Thank you. With your hard work, we have become the biggest national teach-in in US history. Still 90 days out, we have already blown by our goal of one thousand schools and other institutions signed on. Your leadership has created a powerful movement that is changing the direction of this country.
THE NATIONAL TEACH-IN: On January 31st , thousands of students on every campus, millions of students nationwide, participate in workshops and panels, brainstorming global warming solutions. Are you with us? Are your faculty supporting you? Ask ten, twenty, fifty faculty to stand up as educators on behalf of your future. They will say yes. To make this happen, start with the MODEL TEACH-IN.
GREEN DEMOCRACY: Campus to Congress. Tell top decision-makers in this country about solutions. Invite every US senator and congressperson to engage in person. If they cant be there physically, then they will face a student audience via a video-chat. Focus the Nation is working with leaders in the House of Representatives to make this happen, in conjunction with their efforts to green the congress. The face-to-face, intergenerational dialogue of Green Democracy will move America to confront this civilizational challenge.
CHOOSE YOUR FUTURE: Vote on the top five solutions to global warming. Proposed solutions range from a coal moratorium, to large scale renewables investment, to initiatives to strengthen forests for carbon storage. Choose the Future is the place for serious discussion about how to achieve what science and justice demand. The week leading up to January 31st, you vote, and your Focus team delivers the results to your congressional office. Every political leader in the country will hear your voice. Join the discussion today!
THE 2% SOLUTION: A national, interactive webcast, airing live the evening of January 30th, featuring Stanford climate scientist Stephen Schneider, sustainability expert Hunter Lovins, and green jobs pioneer Van Jones. Show the webcast to launch your teach-in. Screen it at your high school, faith group, civic organization, or at a house party. Our goal10,000 screenings and a determination
TO STOP GLOBAL WARMING.
With these four components, together we will Focus the Nation.
