[GPSCC-chat] Fwd: Fw: iMatter

[Wes Rolley]

Rob mentioned the Kids vs. Global Warming law suits.   I noted that Alec 
was from CA and contacted the Green I knew best there.... Kendra 
Gonzales.  That was her replying note.

funny you should ask....

I met Alec when he was 13...he and his family attended Al Gore's "An 
Inconvenient Truth" along with most of the activist community here. We 
gathered and sent 250+ postcards demanding local action to our City 
Council. From that, we all organized a  Town Hall mtng in the same 
theatre - standing room only (300+ people)

The non-profit I work with (Board Member now) VCCool (Ventura Climate 
Care Options Organized Locally) and Kids v Global Warming were "born" 
from this action in 2006 / 2007....at the same time.

  In fact, Alec really got started "tabling" at VCCool's very first Kids 
Bike Safety Rodeo and I'm in the throes of helping to organize our 5th 
Bike Rodeo May 21st. On Sunday the 15th, Ojai is having its iMatter 
March, which is where Alec and his family live - I'll be attending that 
for sure. I've also worked closely with his mom... so...yes...we've 
certainly talked and I'm "plugging" the iMatter March as much as I can. 
Its SO amazing what he is doing and I'm looking very forward to seeing 
how the law-suits turn out...I'd imagine you know about that?

Note: there is a local connection here in that one time San Mateo County 
Congressman, Pete McCloskey, is involved in the litigation.
