Acting Up #1: Preparing for the trip to DC for the Capitol Climate Action

Hi, my name is Joshua Kahn Russell. Right now I'm helping to coordinate the largest protest on Global Warming in history.
I'm an organizer, which means I spend my time building power of regular folks to take control of their lives and communities. I've spent half my life helping to bridge movements for racial justice and the environment.
Current TV asked me to record my life for 2 minutes a day. The series is gonna be called the 'ACTING UP', so search for that tag if you want.
Our protest is called the Capitol Climate Action - CCA (www.capitolclimateaction.org), and will bring thousands to risk arrest in civil disobedience at the Capitol Coal Plant that powers our congress with dirty energy.
We have a coalition of over 70 conservation, public health, labor, social & racial justice, faith-based, environmental and other advocacy groups, along with figures like NASA Climatologist Dr. James Hansen, and advocates like Vandana Shiva, Wendell Berry and Bill Mckibben who will be joining us and sitting in.
We can't afford to wait any longer for the slow gears of the political process, while our economy tanks and the planet burns. I believe now is the time for bold action that communicates a message of urgency.
We have written and testified and organized politically. Now is the time to do more for the health of our communities and our planet. There are moments in a nation's--and a planet's--history when it may be necessary for some to break the law in order to bear witness to an evil and push for its correction. Such a time has arrived.
Join me for the next 11 days in the build up to the largest civil disobedience for climate justice in history. It's gonna be a wild ride.

Everyone knows that Floyd Mayweather is loaded -- but he didn't have to rub it in our poor, dirty faces by lighting a $100 bill on fire while in the club.
