"big tent" with a positive tone and call for tech companies like Google
to do more to take action on climate change (along the lines of the
PCM's motto: "to change everything, we need everyone, everywhere").
This will be the kind of framing we'll do for publicity and in reaching
out to reporters. We also will likely invite speakers from Facebook,
Apple and Google to talk about some of what they're doing on climate
change (such as signing onto this</span><span style="font-size:12.8px;line-height:normal;"> </span><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/jul/27/climate-change-obama-coca-cola-walmart-google" style="font-size:12.8px;line-height:normal;">White House climate pledge</a><span style="font-size:12.8px;line-height:normal;"> </span><span style="font-size:12.8px;line-height:normal;">this past summer). </span><span style="font-size:12.8px;line-height:normal;">We are also inviting all participating groups to feel free bring their own messages.</span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:12.8px;line-height:normal;"><br></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div style="font-size:12.8px;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> We
