MCAN Conference Inspires Hundreds of Activists

Videos of McKibben, McCarthy speeches
available to watch

Headlines

Posted by: Susan Altman

November 15 about 300 climate change
activists gathered for an invigorating day of discussion and learning. The closing speech by Bill McKibbon was
prelude to a march from MIT to the Boston Common, attended by many
conference-goers, students, and family members.

The
videos of the keynotes by Gina McCarthy and Bill McKibben are now on You
Tube.

McKibben also wrote a short
blog (here) about the march into Boston after the Conference, which many
people joined (including an unknown but friendly dragon) and the
middle-of-the-night arrests/citations of many of the group who remained
overnight on Boston Common.

Sustainable Arlington's Michael Prager also wrote about McKibben's speech,
here.

Some of the Workshop Slide Shows are
available for download, here.
