Tacoma’s Focus the Nation will consist of a short film, poetry reading from elementary students and a question and answer session between the public and state and local elected officials.
WHAT: Focus the Nation is organizing a national teach-in on global warming solutions for America—creating a dialogue at over a thousand colleges, universities, high
schools, middle schools, places of worship, civic organizations and businesses, and directly engaging millions of students and citizens with the nation’s decision-makers. Focus the Nation will culminate January 31st, 2008 in simultaneous educational symposia held across the country.
Tacoma’s Focus the Nation will consist of a short film, poetry reading from elementary students and a question and answer session between the public and state and local elected officials.
WHY: Our intent is to move America beyond fatalism to a determination to face up to this challenge, the challenge of our generation. This is an opportunity for Tacoma citizens to come out for a one night event to learn about what they can do to fight climate change locally. There has been enough talk of the danger of climate change, it’s time to talk about the incredible positive opportunities the challenge presents.
