A message from Energy Action Coalition, the student environmental action network:
"Last week we experienced a real wake-up call in this country.
"We've organized our communities, we've fought to make our campuses models of the clean energy future, and we've rocked the vote. But when it comes to national policy, our work is far from over.
"Over the weekend, Van Jones, green jobs champion and special adviser to the White House resigned after weeks of harassment by Glenn Beck and Fox News. He resigned in the spirit of keeping the focus on the real fight in front of us. Van's resignation is difficult for us all to swallow -- but it's also a wake-up call to our movement. Now's our chance to channel our confusion, frustration & anger, by standing up for the vision of clean energy jobs to which Van has dedicated his life's work.
"That's why, on September 21, we are excited to deliver our leaders a "Wake-Up Call" of their own. Folks everywhere are getting together in public places for "Wake-Up Call" flash-mob events, pressing for bold action on climate & clean energy jobs this year. "
