*Avaaz.org CLIMATE ACTION FACTORY – Washington, DC* *Creative Youth-Powered
Action for our Climate*
The UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen, which holds the promise of a strong,
fair, and binding global climate treaty, could be among the pivotal events
in our lifetimes: a worldwide triumph, or a tragedy of missed opportunity.
The mission of the Avaaz DC Climate Action Factory is to maximize the
possibility of achieving a strong binding global climate treaty at
Copenhagen, and to raise the expectations and demands of the global public
that governments must achieve such a treaty.
Ten Action Factory Fellows -- activists living and working from the Action
Factory through the end of the Copenhagen summit -- will unleash their
creative energy on this unparalleled political problem by providing them
with organizing resources, organizational support, and basic needs in
exchange for climate action.
Since June 2009, the Avaaz Action Factories in DC and Berlin have carried
out dozens of creative actions in the US and across Europe, directly
interacted with scores of decision-makers, and earned hundreds of media hits
to propel forward this end.
The Action Factory will direct its focus on three main projects between
September and December: 1) urging global leaders to fund a safe-climate
pathway at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh; 2) pressuring members of the US
Senate to pass legislation that paves the road to a strong deal in
Copenhagen; and 3) pressuring President Obama and his Administration to
commit to leading the world in Copenhagen.
*Fellows*
The Avaaz DC Climate Action Factory is seeking *TEN Fellows* for the
countdown to Copenhagen. The duration of the Fellowship will be September 1

*Previous Actions and Projects*
See *www.actionfactories.org* to learn more about the actions we have
carried out to-date.
*The Action Factory program is focused on political advocacy to influence
governments in the global climate negotiations through direct pressure and
communications. While Fellows are free (and encouraged!) to use their free
time for nonpolitical climate projects -- such as building longer-term youth
climate movement infrastructure, general awareness-raising, or personal
lifestyle changes -- these activities are not the focus of the Fellowship.
This program is being created in response to a political emergency of lack
of ambition and will to confront the climate crisis in the most-emitting
countries.*
