Step It Up 2007 was a a project that used the internet to stage two highly-coordinated, widely-distributed, “National Days of Climate Action” on April 14th and November 3rd. Step It Up organized over 2,000 rallies, in all 50 states on these two dates this past year. In communities across the country, people staged rallies, protests, concerts, picnics, hikes, bike-rides, and creative actions of all kinds to call for action from our leaders on global warming.

This summer "Rising Tide" and various other environmental and social justice organizations across the continent are organizing a convergence for climate action. We have hopes of bringing hundreds of activists together for a large gathering of minds. With the involvement of a wide range of organizers this event will have great possibilities for making change. Ecosystem defenders, urban toxics activists, carbon-free campus campaigners, permaculture farmers, system changers, and solution seekers will gather to network and brainstorm innovative, positive solutions to our urgent climate crisis.
