On September 21, 2009, we partnered with Avaaz, Oxfam, and others to host a successful global action to wake up our leaders. You can see via an amazing video how we changed the world here, see amazing photos from the event, how we hit the media and bloggers. Here is the content from the organizing kit.

TckTckTck partner Avaaz has created, below, a fantastic interactive map that lists all the events taking place on the 21st of September. If you are planning an event - please add it, you can up-load photos of the venue (for flash mobs) and links to your own site. Want to join the wake up call? To find an event near you or organize your own, use the map below or visit the Avaaz website.

Avaaz has also developed an online toolkit that explains how individuals like you can get involved with the Global Wake Up call. We also have toolkits for organizations, in English, Portuguese, and French. These kits are open for any organization to copy and adapt to send out to its supporters to get them working on events for the 21st September. We also have a handy downloadable poster (or recruitment flyer) and a full media kit for event organizers, and a media advisory template that can be downloaded here.

For more information and background please see our Q & A on the Global Day of Action.

TckTckTck NGO partners are encouraged to organize their own events, please see our Global Wake Up Call partner page here.

If you are in New York, check out these other great public events from our partners:

To kick off the Global Wake Up Call, Oxfam is hosting a Human countdown, on Sunday, September 20th, in New York, where thousands will convene to create a human sculpture of how our world is in a race against time. Notable speakers will meet and address the group and they will kick off a global call-in campaign by calling the White House over loudspeaker. This unprecedented live action aerial art piece is just the kind of thing that can get attention in unexpected places.

The Age of Stupid is also having a massive global premiere of their epic global warming film, in more than 700 cinemas in 60 countries. They will be streaming satellite feed of the New York premiere, including footage of the Global Wake-Up Call. Attend a Global Wake-Up Call event and then watch yourself on the big screen. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world might just be watching you that night!

We can only stop climate change if we all pull together and show world leaders that we demand action. Time is running out.
