We're gonna need a bigger boat

This Saturday we're building an Ark on the National Mall to show the world's leaders what's at stake in the Copenhagen talks -- and we want to bring your support with us! Tell our leaders: get a real climate deal, before we need another Ark! Dear Supporter, We're down to the wire on climate change. If we don't do something about it soon, we could be facing global catastrophe on a level not seen since, well, the Great Flood. That's why we're joining our friends at Avaaz.org to build a giant Ark on the National Mall. During this critical time of the UN Copenhagen climate talks, we need to remind our leaders exactly what's at stake. Sign the petition: Our leaders need to reach a real climate deal before we need another Ark! The Copenhagen talks are our best chance at getting a real climate deal, and it's not a moment too soon. People in developing countries are already experiencing drought, disease and even death because of climate change. But, bureaucratic foot-dragging is endangering the climate talks. We're participating in a global grassroots effort to remind our leaders what's at stake. Today, teams of volunteers are starting to build the Ark. Saturday, in front of the completed Ark, clergy will join other leaders to speak about the moral imperative to address climate change and its disproportionate impact on those living in poverty. It's shaping up to be an incredible witness (after all, a giant Ark is pretty hard to ignore), so we wanted to make sure all our Faithful America members could participate. Sign the petition calling for a real climate deal, and we'll bring your message with us to the Ark! We'll post your comments on the Ark's giant message wall. Media and leaders passing by the Ark will see our notes and know that people of faith from across the country demand action on climate change. After the Copenhagen talks close, we will be in touch with you with more ways you can help increase the pressure on the Senate to pass strong climate change legislation. Thanks for all you do, Beth Dahlman Online Organizer, Faithful America PS: If you're in the DC area, we'd love to see you in person this Saturday at 4 PM! (More details here.)
