We told you last month as we wrapped up a big week of action in DC that Earth Day is coming. There's a rundown of events happening around the country in the blog, but we're most excited to tell you about Peoples' Earth Week.

Our arts-tastic action for everyone, anywhere

We're continuing our spring campaign to pressure the financiers of fossil fueled fascism – the big bad fossil banks! If you haven’t heard already by now, two massive coalitions — People vs Fossil Fuels, and Stop the Money Pipeline — are teaming up this April 15-25 for a global, decentralized, arts action that anyone, anywhere can participate in.

We're calling it Peoples' Earth Week – Climate Justice Arts & Action and today is the last day to sign up and get an arts toolkit shipped directly to you.

Like I said, there's more events from coast, to coast, to coast in the blog. But don't worry if you missed the initial art deadline, there are lots of ways to participate.

Between April 15th and 25th, activists will use the posters you see above in mass wheat pasting actions, pop-up art shows, and arts-centered direct actions. Peoples' Earth Week builds on a long history of social movements centering arts and culture. From the civil rights movement, to the fight for women's liberation in the 1960s, to ACT UP's brilliant graphic arts in direct action.

Peoples' Earth Week starts this Saturday. So get out there and post your art, rally your neighbors, and take wild, creative, non-violent direct action April 15-25.

You can get detailed instructions in our blog, or by clicking here for the toolkit, or here for a recorded training video.

Finally, make a plan to join one of the three BIG Actions on April 24 targeting Bank of America, Citi Bank, and Wells Fargo:
