America and Canada's youth are calling for five days of demonstrations to jumpstart the second semester of the Campus Climate Challenge and put the heat on a new U.S. Congress and a returning Canadian Parliament to begin aggressive national power shifts on global warming. In December, a wide cross-section of young activists took part in a national brainstorm to come up with the theme "Rising to the Climate Challenge: Visions Of Our Future."

January 29th through February 2nd young people will speak to their campus and political leaders about how the decisions they make today will directly affect the world we inherit tomorrow.

Picture life on your campus after we've all grown up and today's political and campus leaders are written about in the history books. Will it be a future of hope or one of hardship? It depends on how we act today when faced with great challenges. Schools are planning a wide range of actions from those that convey hope for a future beyond the climate crisis to visions of hardship resulting from lost opportunities. Rising to the Climate Challenge is meant to be a week at the crossroads of action and inaction.

One of the actions you can plan is a screening of An Inconvenient Truth. As part of our Truth on Campus initiative, groups that sign up before Jan. 14th can get a free DVD and public screening rights to show An Inconvenient Truth to a large group of people for free on your campus! Or better yet, do a big screening or a couple of screenings to help build up to a larger action at the end of the week.
