To: alex.foti@???

      With just over two weeks left before 10/10/10, there are over 3500
events in 165 countries--and hundreds of new events being registered for
10/10/10 every single day.

This is clearly going to be huge. Don't miss it: get involved today.

Dear friends,

There are just 18 days left until the 10/10/10 Global Work Party, and it's
shaping up to be the largest single day of carbon-cutting action in the
planet's history.

It's hard to keep up with all the incredible news pouring in from around the
world, and even harder to know what news to share first, so let's just dive
right in:

*First up: the explosive growth of this movement.* In the last two weeks
alone, over a thousand 10/10/10 events have been registered. In the last
five days, ten of the "missing countries" without events got on the map,
bringing our country count up to a whopping 165!

If you haven't gotten involved yet, you can find an event to join near you
by clicking here<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=b%2FAqJmZfEkI6bOJ2mdgKADy%2BHj4LXs%2Fz>.
If there isn't one near you, you can register a new event by clicking
here<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=lGhFNr0LwZDGopCxxGNAsDy%2BHj4LXs%2Fz>.
And make sure to keep track of our event and country counters on the
gorgeous new homepage at www.350.org.

If you're already linked up with a local 10/10/10 event, you can click here
to check out the 25 missing
countries<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=SiwvILw3jCtZmHklSF0lYDy%2BHj4LXs%2Fz>that
are still not on the map for 10/10/10. Maybe you know someone that
knows someone that knows someone in, say...Jamaica? Or Bhutan? If so, you
can give the climate movement a real boost and spread the word.

*Next: the huge scale of 10/10/10 events.* When we announced 10/10/10, we
expected that some people would plant a few trees--but we were blown away
when we found out that a team in the Philippines is organizing 2,000 people
to come out and plant mangroves. We expected that some people would promote
sustainable transportation, but we weren't expecting organizers in New
Zealand to fix up every old bike in their capital city. People are thinking
BIG for 10/10/10.

If you haven't signed up your local work party yet, don't let these big
events intimidate you--instead, let them inspire you. Even if you can't pull
off anything at quite this scale, you can still dream big and know that no
matter the size of your own event, you'll be part of something massive.

*Third: the buzz is building all around the world.* Every day, we get more
calls in the 350 office from reporters and politicians. They know something
huge is in the works, and they want to get in on the action. Let's make sure
we've got something to show them on 10/10/10: now is the time to spread the
word to make sure LOTS of people come to local events, and start working on
your banners to make sure we get lots of iconic "350: Get to Work!" pictures
to show the media.

*Fourth: we're all working together.* One major reason that the buzz is
building so much is that our hundreds of partner organizations are stepping
up to spread the word. From Greenpeace to the World Council of Churches,
organizations all over the planet are getting their members fired up for
10/10/10. And of course, our featured partners over at
1010Global.org<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=4GyFcJxxxP%2B5CVno2kKOGjy%2BHj4LXs%2Fz>are
pulling out all the stops to make this day truly epic.

*Finally: this movement is made of real people and real stories.* Some of
their pictures are below. We want to share yours too. So email us: send your
latest updates to
organizers@???<organizers@????subject=Updates%20about%20Our%20350%20Work>and
your pictures as attachments to
photos@??? <photos@????subject=City%2C%20Country> (make the subject
line the "City, Country" that the photo was shot in).

Together, we are building something truly amazing. It's an honor to do it
with all of you.

Onwards,

*350.org is an international grassroots campaign that aims to mobilize a
global climate movement* united by a common call to action. By spreading an
understanding of the science and a shared vision for a fair policy, we will
ensure that the world creates bold and equitable solutions to the climate
crisis. 350.org is an independent and not-for-profit project.

What is 350? *350 is the number that leading scientists say is the safe
upper limit for carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Scientists measure carbon
dioxide in "parts per million" (ppm), so 350ppm is the number humanity needs
to get below as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change. To get
there, we need a different kind of PPM-a "people powered movement" that is
made of people like you in every corner of the planet.
