Gathering and music at 1:30, Procession and Program at 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Picture this:

• All of us dressed in black,
• holding up a big inflatable globe
• and holding posters that say "Stop the Coal Train"
• And The American Gandhi will be there! http://www.oly-wa.us/berniemeyer/

There will be big black dots on the globe with explanatory labels, located on:

• Montana and Wyoming, where the coal would be mined
• The states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana, throughout which coal would be transported.
• Bellingham, Grays Harbor, Longview, and Oregon terminals, where coal would be stockpiled and shipped.
• Asia (mostly India and China), where the coal would be burned.

Sponsored by Transition Olympia - Climate Action as part of 350.org's Climate Action Day, with sincere thanks to the Backbone Campaign for loaning their globe.

Climate Impacts Day is a global day of action taking place on May 5, all around the world. see website
