On January 30th and 31st, scholars, activists, and policymakers will gather at SF State and over one thousand other colleges and universities across the country to discuss the future of our planet. Expert speakers will include Van Jones, Michael Glantz, and Dennis Martinez. "Focus the Nation is the largest grassroots effort to date to energize the country to take urgent action to address climate change," says teach-in organizer and San Francisco State professor Carlos Davidson. "All that we lack to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is political will." KPFA Radio will broadcast the teach-in on Thursday, January 31st from 10am to 6pm, anchored by Karolo Aparicio, Brian Edwards-Tiekert, Michelle Chan-Fishell, Kris Welch, Davey D, and Nora Barrows-Friedman. "Global warming presents the most important challenge that people have ever faced," says Aparicio, co-host of KPFA's Terra Verde. "We stand at the crossroads and have a choice between sustainability and renewable energy or business as usual, sea levels, social upheaval, and mass extinctions."
