Over One Thousand Colleges to Participate in Global Warming Day

(Berkeley, CA - January 24, 2008) While the ice caps melt and the government
stalls, campus organizers are putting together the largest teach-in in U.S.
history - and KPFA Radio will broadcast the event from the campus of San
Francisco State University.

On January 30th and 31st, scholars, activists, and policymakers will gather
at SF State and over one thousand other colleges and universities across the
country to discuss the future of our planet. Expert speakers will include
Van Jones, Michael Glantz, and Dennis Martinez.

"Focus the Nation is the largest grassroots effort to date to energize the
country to take urgent action to address climate change," says teach-in
organizer and San Francisco State professor Carlos Davidson. "All that we
lack to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is political will."

KPFA Radio will broadcast the teach-in on Thursday, January 31st from 10am
to 6pm, anchored by Karolo Aparicio, Brian Edwards-Tiekert, Michelle
Chan-Fishell, Kris Welch, Davey D, and Nora Barrows-Friedman.

"Global warming presents the most important challenge that people have ever
faced," says Aparicio, co-host of KPFA's Terra Verde. "We stand at the
crossroads and have a choice between sustainability and renewable energy or
business as usual, sea levels, social upheaval, and mass extinctions."
