A diverse group of Atlantans stepped it up on the Morehouse College campus, with a rally in front of the Martin Luther King Chapel that included an amazing performance by the Morehouse?s national champion Graves Hall Step Team. Speakers emphasized the disproportionate impact of climate change on poor and minority communities, and the importance of public opinion on what their elected representatives will feel comfortable voting for.

Our day included an electric car show plus workshops on: climate change and social justice; reducing energy use; local transit issues; and an interfaith response to climate change. Our rallying cry was: ?I am neither an optimist nor a pessimist. I?m an activist!?

After the rally, people went to the Dogwood Festival to spread the word about Climate Change.
