Highlights from today's Teach-in

Today's teach-in action was full and fast-paced. Here are a few highlights from the day...

Ingrid Lakey during the briefing

Ingrid Lakey called for PECO to EXCEED their Solar Mandate and to be proactive on behalf of Philadelphians!

Brother John Bowie

Brother John Bowie delivered a powerful message. North Philadelphia has been sold! Yet, where there is life, there is hope! Now, on our dime, we are using Serenity Solar to build a solar array on Serenity House!

Rev Gregory Holsten speaks

Rev Gregory Holston: we have a message for PECO - it has a moral responsibility to create 1000's of forward looking jobs!

Eileen Flanagan explained solar opens a future with opportunity for the many. Instead of fighting over who gets the life-boats we are working together to change the direction of the ship and avoid the iceberg.

I know that I ought to be both genuinely fearful and and angry by the crisis of CLIMATE CHANGE/GLOBAL WARMING, but I am not. I believe that the crisis has not produced a single person to die from the effects of global warming. And people do have to die before this movement gets its necessary fear-filled outrage among the people we keep trying to get active and to protest this disaster. I don’t yet feel the disaster even though I know it is with us. Do we have to wait until this ‘cooks’ people to death? I think so. Or tell me what my problem is that sees this callous waiting I seem to be saying we need to wait for before we can expect this disaster to see committed action from people of all kinds.
