This is a general planning meeting for groups and individuals interested in advancing climate justice, environmental justice, sustainable-living and related issues during the week that Pittsburgh hosts the International Coal Conference (Sept. 21-23) and the G20 summit (Sept. 24-25).
"Three Rivers Climate Convergence: United for Environmental Justice" is a collaboration of local, regional and national groups - and individuals - that is organizing the following activities:
* A five-day climate justice camp and sustainable-living fair where people from all walks of life can share ideas, make friends, plan actions, discover what communities are doing to safeguard our air, water and land, as well as learn practical stuff such as constructing a wind turbine, composting your waste and fixing your bicycle.Our first choice for location is Point State Park.
* Protests and creative actions around the Coal Conference that directly precedes the G20 summit.
* A series of environmental justice film/video screenings or else work with others who may be planning something similar around social justice themes.
We have a number of working groups that people can plug in to including coal actions, buzz & outreach, media coordination, film screenings, camp logistics, camp agenda and more...visit our temporary site at

Downtown Pittsburgh will be the site for the International Coal Conference, on September 21-23 as well as the G-20 Summit onSeptember 24-25.
September thus presents a great opportunity to amplify the voices and visions of communities directly impacted by the global environmental and economic crises. And here in the Three Rivers, the birthplace of Rachel Carson, we have plenty of our own stories to tell.
In our region, we’re struggling to stop longwall mining, mountain top removal, the industrialization of the Allegheny National Forest, the construction of the Beech Hollow PowerPlant in Robinson Township, and the harms from North Shore development, among others.
At the same time, our region has some creative solutions to showcase. Landslide Community Farm, the One Hill Coalition and Free Ride are just three examples...
