On October 24, join people all over the world to take a stand for a safe climate future…right here in Healdsburg.

As of today, there are 3,550 actions in 161 countries. In Sonoma County, there are 11 actions. We’ve organized a “Grapevine March” right here in Healdsburg. Grandson Casey (photo) will be joining us.

Huh? Why a grapevine march? Why do the signs say “Destination: Canada”?

Because climate change is a local issue. In July of 2006, the Press Democrat reporter Tim Tesconi wrote an article about a new report that warns that the North Coast may get too hot in the coming century for our crops, especially premium grapes. If you’re interested in this issue you can read more here.

If you:
1. Like the idea of staying local
2. Think this action is worthwhile
and
3. Sounds kinda fun, click here and sign up. You can meet us at my home at 521 Brown Street at 1 pm or downtown in the Plaza at 2 pm.
