Wendell Berry, the literary giant who has shaped America's environmental consciousness for 50 years, will be in D.C. March 1st and 2nd for rare public appearances. Like you and me, Berry is overwhelmingly alarmed by the growing crisis of global warming. Now the Chesapeake Climate Action Network is honored to host Berry -- along with writers Bill McKibben and Gus Speth -- for two historic events in early March that you don't want to miss.
First, on Sunday night March 1st, Berry will join McKibben and Gus Speth, Dean of the Yale School of Forestry, to speak and answer questions about the climate crisis. The "Night with Wendell Berry, McKibben, and Speth" will be held just a few blocks from Dupont Circle and begins at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $15 and all the money benefits CCAN. We expect ticket demand to be very, very heavy. So please, book early:

Then, after all the Sunday night inspiration, you can join these same great leaders for an historic nonviolent protest outside a coal-fired power plant near the U.S. Capitol Building (see Berry/McKibben open letter here). It is my honor, as director of CCAN, to announce that I will risk arrest side-by-side with Wendell Berry on March 2nd. Isn't it time you, too, joined the time-honored American tradition of peaceful resistance in the name of stopping the great moral wrong of climate change?
