March 2nd Protest at the Capitol Hill Power Plant

"The worldwide daily reliance on coal is the danger; this is one small step to raise awareness of that ruinous habit and hence help to break it."
--Bill McKibben and Wendell Berry

If you're interested in participating, please let us know how we can keep in touch with you as details of the event are finalized.

We think the time to act has arrived, and we hope you will join us in Washington, D.C. on Monday, March 2, in order to take part in a civil act of civil disobedience outside a coal-fired power plant near Capitol Hill.  Read a letter to colleagues from Bill McKibben, scholar in residence at Middlebury College, a director of Grist.org, and co-founder of 350.org, and Wendell Berry, farmer, critic, and prolific author.
