Fun Volunteer Opportunity! Sierra Club CDC, IowaPIRG and Apollo Alliance are working together on a "Clean Energy Caravan" before Saturday's Jefferson Jackson Dinner in Des Moines. This would consist of a couple car loads of clean energy advocates showing up at the various candidate campaign rallies before the JJ Dinner, and then capping off with a small rally outside the Veterans Memorial Auditorium where the dinner itself is taking place. At the final rally we are trying to have IRENEW's "Solar Traveler" powering up a Clean Energy Coffee maker or a Don't Pop Our Crop Popcorn machine or something else more creative that we could hand to folks on their way into the dinner. Other material like stickers and placards will be handed out or used as well. I think this will be a really exciting atmosphere to highlight the Solar Traveler and the feasibility of clean energy to help Iowa and America achieve energy independence. Apollo, IowaPIRG and the Sierra Club need volunteers to help make this a success. Obviously short notice.....but can you help. Please responde via email and I will provide directions and details. This will take from 2:30 to 6 pm, or whatever chunk of that you can help with. WE REALLY NEED YOU! First, we will send car loads of clean energy volunteers to four pre-JJ rallies around town (Dean, Gephardt, Kerry and Edwards). We are still working out the timing, but we would like to bring 4 car loads of clean energy volunteers to each rally, talk to the candidates, staff and the media, and do our bird-dog thing for about twenty minutes at each rally. We will need volunteers for all events. Second, we will hold a clean energy rally outside the Vets Auditorium with giveaways such as stickers, tote bags starting at 4:30 before people arrive for the event. We will work to get each candidate to stop at out Clean Energy rally. Please consider having a fun Saturday afternoon, tomorrow November 15, with your Sierra Club, PIRG and Apollo friends. Thanks.
