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.

I launched Madison SOS (Speak Out, Sister!) at age 15, in the spring of 2007. I wanted to do something to address several issues in my community of Madison, Wisconsin relating to young women: poor self-esteem, political apathy, and little knowledge of how they as community members could affect grassroots change. A high school student myself, I decided to focus on the high school audience as my primary constituency.
