Friends,
If you were taking the podium tonight for the State of the Union instead of President Obama, what would you say about the state of our climate?
I’m collecting 'climate State of the Union' messages to share with the world during the President’s speech tonight, and I'm hoping you can contribute yours. They’ll be streaming across the front of the 350.org website -- and we'll be posting some of the best on 350.org's Twitter and Facebook feeds later today.

President Obama hasn't been the climate leader we need. Sometimes he gets it, making big promises and taking some steps to move us forward. But other times he goes out of his way to cheerlead fracking, and the Southern leg of Keystone XL.
With so much on the line, we need a climate champion, not a pipeline president. President Obama needs to get right to work moving our economy towards 100% renewable energy, starting with rejecting Keystone XL.
To show the kind of leadership we need, I want to collect climate State of the Union messages that set an example for how to speak truth and call for ambitious action.
Here’s what I decided I would say if I were addressing the nation tonight:
"The state of our climate is dire. We
need drastic steps forward -- starting with rejecting the Keystone XL
tar sands pipeline and committing to a goal of 100% renewable energy as
soon as possible.”
What would you say if you were in President Obama’s shoes? Click here to share it with the world. If you’re on Twitter, you can join in the conversation tonight with the hashtag #ClimateSOTU, and we’ll also have a feed of live commentary on the front page of the (brand new!) 350.org site.
Let’s show what leadership looks like,
Duncan
