From noon to 1:30 pm. we had about 20 folks with a big "Step It Up..." sign plus polar bears out of cardboard & other signs, stand in front of the Confederate Soldier statue in the middle of the town square of Oxford,MS We gave out "solar powered" (i.e. use your hand) fans to everyone who signed our petition (to cut emissions, etc.) to our Senators. We got about 35 signatures (passersby) and good coverage in local paper before the event (an article) plus three newspapers plus National Public Radio came by and did interviews and/or photos....Bill McKibben is coming to Oxford on the 17th, so we took lots of photos (will upload when we figure out how to!)....thanks!

Rally in front of the Oxford courthouse with polar bears, signs and letter to congress (got 40 plus signatures) and "solar powered" fans scented with lavendar oil - paper fans that use human power to cool - from a local herbalist!
