We did!  The Grandparents Climate Action Day rocked! 

Two days in Washington DC, attended by over 135 elders and grandparents –  answering the call to stand together behind our common commitment to restoring a liveable climate for future generations. 

Gazing into people’s faces you could see their absolute delight at being with others who were also willing to raise their voices and speak the truth -- now is time for our leaders and for our country to enact legislation to effectively address climate disruption.

Most amazing were our powerful energy when we raised our voices at Union Station with our FLASH MOB singing DO IT NOW! – the song that became the theme song for our gathering.
            We got to wake up, We got to wise up
            We got to open our eyes and DO IT NOW, Now, Now
            We gotta build a better future, and we need to DO IT NOW!

            We’re on a planet, That has a problem.
            We gotta solve, get involved and DO IT NOW, Now, Now
            We gotta build a better future, and we need to DO IT NOW!
