Al Gore's Fight Against the Climate Crisis
As the world heats up, so does Al Gore. Every melting glacier, every catastrophic storm, every record-breaking hot spell is a planetary-scale endorsement of his belief that tackling global warming is the biggest challenge of our time. Gore may not have announced his candidacy for president - not yet, anyway - but he is already running one of the most aggressive campaigns in American history. His Oscar-winning documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," brought the harsh facts of the climate crisis to millions of people around the world. He's in the midst of an intensive tour to promote his new book, "The Assault on Reason," which savages the Bush administration for its deceitful war in Iraq, its illegal wiretapping and its reckless refusal to take action on climate change. He's also gearing up for Live Earth, the global rock concert he has orchestrated for July 7.
On July 7, more than 2 billion people will join together to watch the "Live Earth" concerts and demonstrate to our leaders that the time has come to solve the climate crisis.
The 385,000 Avaaz members, from every corner of the world, who mobilized to pressure the G8, amazed me. And Avaaz's work to bring global public input to global decision-making is truly inspiring. Now we have the opportunity to take your efforts and expand on them.
Wherever you are on July 7th, you can be part of the action. At events around the world, we are going to convert the potential energy of Live Earth into a global campaign. In thousands of homes, people will invite their friends and neighbors to watch the concerts and join the movement to solve the climate crisis. Will you commit to organize a Live Earth party on July 7th? The parties will be fun--and they'll make a difference. If you've got a few friends and a TV, you've got everything you need.

This will be a unique moment when the uninterrupted and undivided attention of the world will be focused on the climate crisis. We cannot let it slip by.
Sincerely,
Al Gore
