INC NEWS - SterItUp Durham

[pat carstensen]

Join thousands around the country for a call to action to our local and 
national governments to "step up" and address Global Warming.  Bring you 
family, friends, strollers, bicycles, neighbors, and pets for a walk 
downtown to support action against climate change; this is our community's 
statement, help us make it a strong one.  We will start our walk at Duke 
University's East campus (corner of Markham Ave. and Broad St.) at 11 am, 
and walk downtown for a group photo (location to be determined).  Durham is 
having the Durham Art Walk and the Full Frame Documentary festival downtown, 
as well as Duke's annual undergraduate reunion weekend, so there's a great 
opportunity for exposure to this cause.  Come join your community and unite 
for climate action.



Jenny Zervakis and Greg Bell are the organizers for the Step It Up Durham 
event. Step It Up is supporting local actions across the USA on April 14th 
to raise awareness on global warming. Our current plan is to meet at East 
Campus the morning of April 14th, and lead a walk downtown at 11 am (to a 
yet to be determined location) to show support for action against climate 
change.  We do not have much time to organize this event and can use all the 
help we can get.  If you're interesting in helping, please contact me.



We've just begun planning so there's lots to do.  We need to select a route 
for the walk, preferably ending in an iconic spot downtown for a photo; also 
get a permit for the march, and develop copy for flyers, neighborhood list 
serves, press releases, radio announcements, etc.  Anyone with experience in 
organizing an event/march, we could really use your help because I have no 
experience with this type of thing.  Creative ideas are welcome.  For 
everyone else, please send the website below to everyone you know, hopefully 
this will be a great family event for Durham to show local support for 
action against climate change.
