The Global Wake-Up Call Is here!

avaaz_wakeupcallThe press is reporting that global climate talks are in a shambles and the UN summit on Tuesday is the only hope to revive them. This Monday, 21 September 2009, citizens globally are flooding media and government office phone lines worldwide with a wake up call for leaders to act -- with phone calls being made from over 2000 rallies, marches, meetings and "flashmobs" in public places across the planet, and by hundreds of thousands of us from home.
