Roundtable on Climate Change and National Security

Not in Oregon Hill, but nearby in Randolph:

Hello,

I am writing to invite you to a roundtable on climate change and national security. Military veterans are embarking on a 21-state tour to talk to citizens and local community leaders about the dangers of climate change and ts threat to national security. Tomorrow, October 20th, they will be coming to Richmond.

The tour is sponsored by Operation Free, a coalition of veterans and national security groups working together to raise public awareness about national security threats posed by climate change and the importance of building a clean energy economy that is not tied to fossil fuels.

Operation Free and its members are encouraging Congress to pass energy legislation that cuts carbon pollution, develops clean energy incentives, and puts America in control of its energy future.

In conjunction with the tour, the veterans group VoteVets.org is running a heavy buy of radio ads in Norfolk featuring a local veteran urging Senators Warner and Webb to support clean energy legislation in Congress.

WHAT: Roundtable on Climate Change and National Security

WHERE: Randolph Community Center
1415 Grayland Ave.
Richmond, VA 23220

WHEN: Tuesday October 20th
10 – 11 AM

I hope that you will be able to make it to this event.
