Think climate change is only an environmental issue?

Global Wake-Up Call

2632 events in 134 countries, tens of thousands of phone calls crashing government lines, unbelievable creativity and diversity of events, directly reaching heads of state and cabinet ministers from Australia to Europe. The Wake Up call was covered by hundreds of major news outlets and made the evening news everywhere from Germany to New Zealand. Here in Austin the Action Corps along with UT-OXFAM were featured in an article in the Daily Texan.

Jason Mraz and G. Love & Special Sauce

We had a great time doing outreach at the Jason Mraz show on Tuesday. Its not everyday that you can combine music and a cause. The show was amazing! We ran into a few Oxfamers from past events. Next Wednesday, if you find yourself at the Ra Ra Riot show at Emo's look out for our volunteers...as always we'd love to hear from you, so please stop by and say hello!

Join our Global Wake Up call

This is a special moment and people around the world will sound their alarms to wake up our politicians!

Time: 12:50pm
Date: Monday, September 21
Location: UT Campus West Mall


The Plan: Once everyone is together, raise your other arm like a clock hand and begin to swing it down in a circle, one small movement at a time, chanting "tick" with each movement (like a ticking clock). Start the chant slow and quiet, slowly picking up speed and getting louder. The other participants will quickly join in. This is the human clock of time running out to act on climate change -- the heart of the TckTckTck campaign around the world.

RSVP Here!

Hope to see you there!
