Kids and parents, friends and neighbors, garden lovers: Welcome to a celebration of Earth's Bounty in Watertown!
We have an unprecedented opportunity to forge new partnerships to end war, stop global warming, and create millions of green jobs. Our chance for high visibility and greater influence in the political process starts on 10.2.10 with a massive mobilization in Washington, DC.
We have a promising new opportunity to facilitate profound, positive changes both at home and abroad. This opportunity comes through One Nation Working Together , an historic collaboration of powerful, progressive groups representing labor, civil rights, the environment, and peace and social justice. Organizations spearheading this effort include the NAACP, 1199 SEIU, Green for All, United for Peace & Justice, the United States Student Association, the National Council of La Raza, and the Center for Community Change.
On October 2, peace activists and environmentalists will march on Washington, DC - joining civil rights, labor, immigrant rights, and other progressive organizations to demand:

Let Us Remember and Respond! We are fighting two wars in which thousands of US soldiers have died or been wounded and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians have been killed and wounded. We are spending BILLIONS on these wars while teachers are not hired, houses are not built, and families go without food, shelter, and healthcare; and an economic depression brings more and more unemployment, foreclosures, and despair.
This compelling and haunting documentary of war's "silent casualty" - the environment - explores the under-reported, even ignored, ecological ramifications of war.
Weaving together scientific and eyewitness accounts from Vietnam and Afghanistan to Australia and the Pacific Islands, supported by onsite and archival footage, Scarred Lands, Wounded Lives vividly portrays the long-term damage to our planet resulting from the testing and production of weapons through the array of destruction from bombs, chemicals, guns and unexploded ordnance.
The film confronts the immensely broad environmental devastation of war: pollution of our land, air and water and destruction of our biodiversity and entire ecosystems.
The Climate Change Task Force works solely on Global Warming. WCES member Peter Brooks heads up this effort. For information about meeting dates and times, please contact Peter.
