Call for Justice for Michael Brown at Occupy Elgin, Saturday, Nov 29th 1:00 PM
Occupy Elgin and Fox Valley Citizens for Peace & Justice will meet at 1:00 PM at the corner of Kimball Street and Grove Avenue in Elgin on Saturday, November 29th. Whatever the outcome of the Grand Jury deliberations, we will stand for one hour in solidarity with the family of Michael Brown and the people of Ferguson, Missouri. Please join us.
Before Enlisting, Consider This.
Our Alternative Recruitment team visits Elgin High School and Larkin High School once each month to offer students facts about life in the Military, and to suggest alternative ways that a young person can earn money for college.
See our post on this website, entitled “Before Enlisting, Consider This” for more information.
We Are Running Out of Time!
Below is the text of the flyer we will distribute at Occupy Elgin on Saturday, November 8th.
Human influence on the climate is real, and recent human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases are now the highest in history. Recent climate changes have had widespread impacts on human and natural systems.
Human-caused greenhouse gas emissions have increased since the industrial revolution, leading to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide that are unprecedented in at least the last 800,000 years. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice at the poles have diminished, sea level has risen and the ocean has become more acidic.
