SUMMARY:350.ORG - DIG IN FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE!
DESCRIPTION:Mass Direct Action against Climate Crime on October 10, 20
 10\n\nJoin the 350.org 10/10/10 Global Work Party to stop global warmi
 ng. In the Lower Mainland join the party and work to bag sand from the
  proposed South Fraser Freeway to raise the dykes protecting nearby co
 mmunities.\n\nWHEN: Meet at 2:00 p.m. PDT\nWHERE: Scott Road, Skytrain
  Station (East, Taxi Stand Side) then march to 129th St. and 115b Ave 
 in North Surrey – near Bridgeview Elementary School (Map), a distanc
 e of under 2 kilometres\n\nThis year as part of the 350.org 10/10/10 G
 lobal Work Party (Oct 10, 2010), we will get to work stopping a delibe
 rate climate crime – the South Fraser Perimeter ‘Road’ freeway w
 hich is part of the Gateway Program. The estimated $2 billion proposed
  freeway would greatly increase greenhouse gas emissions, pave over so
 me of BC’s best farmland, scar the delicate banks of the Fraser Rive
 r, and pollute elementary school playgrounds.\n\nFreeways = Climate Cr
 ime\n\nPresently, the South Fraser Freeway route is marked by piles of
  ‘preload’ sand. We will use this sand to start raising the flood 
 control dikes around a Surrey neighbourhood to protect it from floodin
 g caused by global warming.\n\nWe need people to fill sand bags and us
 e them to raise the dike, and lots of people to help out in other ways
  and show their support. The risk of arrest is very low for anyone who
  does not wish to risk arrest. Legal information will be available.\n\
 nThis action will emphasize the need to shift resources away from clim
 ate crimes to creating green jobs and climate justice. Every cent is n
 eeded for solutions like public transit and electric passenger trains,
  and to protect communities from flooding and other effects of global 
 warming.\n\nWhat can I do right now? Go to www.350.org/dig-climate-jus
 tice and sign up to receive more information, including volunteer orie
 ntation and work party times.\n\nThe 10/10/10 Dig in for Climate Justi
 ce is a project of the Council of Canadians (Delta-Richmond, Vancouver
 -Burnaby, and Surrey-White Rock-Langley chapters), and GatewaySucks.or
 g.\n\nEndorsed by many organizations.\n\nFor more info visit dig4justi
