 Friends,

All across the world this Thursday and Friday, people will be lighting
candles to call for climate action that honors the memory of the lives lost
to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

As the UN climate negotiations draw to a close, we’ll show that a united
global movement for change can be the real light of hope in our warming
world. We’re responding to a call for solidarity from the Philippines, and
shining a light for the people who are feeling the impacts of climate
change -- even though they've done little to cause it.

*There’s a vigil near you -- can you be there to honor and remember the
lives lost to this climate disaster? *

Here are the details:
------------------------------

   *What: *We Stand With You Vigil for Climate Justice in the Philippines

*Where: *In the public space outside of the Value Mart mall near Beer Town

*Location:* Waterloo,

*When:* Thursday, November 21, 5:00 PM

*You can RSVP here:*

If you attend, remember to bring a candle (plus one for a friend!)

Government corruption and indifference has left many people without the
assistance they need. 350 organizers have been on the ground in heavily
impacted areas pulling together a grassroots-led relief effort to help fill
in the gaps -- but they'll need your help to pull it off.


*At the vigils we will be raising money for Brigada Kalikasan, the relief
effort that our friends are organizing -- even as we send a message to the
government of the Philippines that the world expects better.*

In a sane world, this work would be undertaken by our supposed leaders, the
kinds of people meeting in Warsaw for the UN talks right now. But in a
world still ruled by fossil fuel interests, it’s up to us to be the leaders.

These are tough times, but as always hope can be found in our work together.

Jamie
