This event was billed
as a "Rally to Honor Mountain View City Council on Signing the Mayor’s
Climate Protection Agreement and to Call for National Action As Part of
Step It Up’s Second Historic Event To Support A Plan to Curb Global
Warming". We were celebrating our City's joining nearly 700 other U.S.
Mayors in promising to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It was partly
inspired by the “Step It Up” rally in Palo Alto on April 14, which was
part of the largest global warming event in U.S. history. These
sychronized events across the country—held one year before the 2008
election— showed the contrast between the intense concern of ordinary
Americans and the leadership vacuum in Washington.
