Join the Climate 350 Campaign to help move our U.S. senators and representatives to:

• Write and cosponsor legislation to provide global leadership in lowering carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere to below 350 ppm (parts per million), as quickly as possible, and no later than 2100. The legislation must be based on current science.
• Commit to working for a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions below 1990 levels by 2020.
• Commit to working to ratify any global agreements that move us closer to these goals.

As part of the Climate 350 Campaign (C350C), our group commits to:

 * Contacting the members of our congressional delegation (two MA senators and the two western MA representatives) at least once over the next year (November, 2009-October, 2010) to take our turn in delivering this climate leadership message. We commit to either:

a. Sending a delegate from our group to Washington, D.C. to meet with the member or their staff, or

b. Mobilizing at least 20 people to email or call each office to deliver the 350 message, or

c. Participating in a conference call with the Washington DC Legislative Aide responsible for climate change policy

 * Contacting the C350C "Briefer" for each senator and representative prior to the visit so that our group's delegate (and our group) is informed about the current status of the conversation with that elected official.

 * Making sure that the delegate from our group understands and agrees to:

a. Carry the C350C message

b. Address the legislators’ questions and concerns (as reported by the previous C350C group),

c. Focus on climate change and the 350 goals. Not discuss other topics or messages in their conversations unless those messages have been requested by or approved by the Briefer, and

d. Report back to the Briefer (by phone) and to the whole coalition of member groups (via the www.pvclimate.org web site) about their experience/conversation with each elected official’s office.
