We will also have guests: Kirsten Johansson and Josh Wallis, lead organizers for the Global Climate March in Austin on November 29th, and also Matthew Chovanec, lead organizer for the Peoples Climate Movement Day of Action on October 14th. We will explore with them the possible support from us and interconnections that we might help them make with other groups in Austin. Events like this are being organized internationally in the lead-up to the U.N. Conference on Climate Change in Paris in December. After introducing these guests and their projects, those who do not wish to remain for the nuts-and-bolts organizing may leave or (as often happens) head out to Opal Divine's restaurant and bar at 3601 South Congress (map at http://www.opaldivines.com/penn-field/index.html).
Future event: (This remains tentative until confirmed)—the four of us who have been assembling a talk on climate change (with the emphasis on hopeful tipping points), have reset our target date for our first presentation to Friday, October 16, 7:00 pm, in the Community Room.
