Do an EarthJIVE climate action every day by daring and then dancing for people who promise to take big climate actions.

The EarthJIVE can be done on the street, around and in businesses, in parks, in neighborhoods, in front of your home, or in other public places.


Imagine millions of people doing the EarthJIVE dare and dance every day around the world to slow down the climate monster heatwaves, floods, storms, fires, craziness, crime, inflation and wars.

The dare part of an EarthJIVE is when you challenge people to promise to take big climate actions, or for already taking big climate actions, and offer to thank them with a dance.

The dance part of an EarthJIVE can be subtle and low-key, or big and dramatic. A subtle EarthJIVE dance can be done with a few simple hand and feet movements. A dramatic EarthJIVE dance can be big and graceful, or wild and rowdy.

An EarthJIVE dare and dance can be done solo or with friends and others. People who are watching the dance can be invited to join in.

An EarthJIVE can be done during a march, during a dance in, or a sit in with others. EarthJIVEs can be included in climate actions organized by others if appropriate.

An EarthJIVE dare and dance may include climate action signs, patches and buttons pinned on your clothes, with an Earth flag with a message pinned on it, with banners, flyers, and other props.

Consider messages that call on specific environmental, ecological and climate actions. Also good are messages that invite others to join you in the specific actions that you take.

When a group is doing an EarthJIVE, the dance moves can be choreographed with music.

So an EarthJIVE is about daring, dancing, marching and taking a stand in public, at work and at play to encourage actions that will help protect our planet.

Start doing your EarthJIVE dare and dance every day with friends, bystanders, other teams and organizations to slow down the climate change monster droughts, floods, hurricanes, wildfires, misery, crime, economic stress and conflicts.

For all the life, XOEarth Stele

A weekend to bend the course of history

In September 2014, heads of state went to New York City for a historic summit on climate change. With our future on the line, we took a weekend to bend the course of history.

In New York City it was an unprecedented climate mobilization – in size, beauty, and impact. This moment was not just about New York or the United States. Heads of state from around the world were there and the global media.

The Demand for Action, Not Words: Take the action necessary to create a world with an economy that works for people and the planet – now. In short, a world safe from the ravages of climate change.

Every Climate March or Earth Jive [dance + talk + march] is about us – the people who are standing up in our communities, to organize, to build power, to confront the power of fossil fuels, and to shift power to a just, safe, peaceful world.

We need to act – together. So help build stronger connections with each other with EarthJIVEs and Climate Marches so we can create a turning point in the fight against climate change.

350.org can help you coordinate outreach, projects and actions related to an EarthJIVE [dance + talk + march]. If you want to help another EarthJIVE, you can share a home city, a skill set, help with its media, or an issue you care about. Various 350 groups can help you communicate and build together, before your EarthJIVE [dance + talk + march] and after.

We encourage you to click on any of the 350.org groups to get involved with a specific project, to sign up to be a neighborhood captain and to empower more Earth Jives and Climate Marches.

    Via NRDC:
    Most of California is in the grip of “exceptional drought,” the worst category on the U.S. Drought Monitor. Unusually warm and dry conditions in the Pacific Northwest fueled wildfires that devoured hundreds of homes and charred hundreds of thousands of acres this July. And record-breaking rains in Michigan turned Detroit’s freeways into veritable lakes last month.

    Extreme drought, heat, and storms are hallmarks of climate change, and several recent reports confirmed these events are on the rise. The world’s leading scientists say dire consequences for our health, food supply, economy, and environment await if we continue to kick the can down the road.

    But if we act today, we can stave off that dire future. We know how to solve this. Now we need to create the political will for action.

    Things that help communicate the message:
    – Make your own signs and banners and t-shirts and flags — be creative.
    – Carry signs or banners that let people know where you are from — what organization, what city or state, what country. For help — download our graphics here!
    – Music that does not need amplification is encouraged.
    Items to bring that will make your march more comfortable:
    – Bring some light food and drinks — it will be a long day.
    – Wear comfortable shoes for the march and more.
    – Check the weather a day or two before you come and dress appropriately. Via Sierra Club [www.sierraclub.org]

    How will this mobilisation lead towards governments taking real climate action in 2015?

    •The People’s Climate Mobilisation is one of many mobilisation points where we will be demanding a solid global action plan by 2015 – a shared and agreed strategy for rapidly growing the scope and scale of the ongoing transition, so that a safe climate with all its benefits for people and planet is possible. The choice before the political leaders coming together in NY is simple: lead the necessary transformation of our societies or ignore the biggest risk our civilization has ever faced.
    •Next year, there will be two crucial milestones on the journey to create the fairer, cleaner and safer world called for by the citizens to which these political leaders are accountable: In September 2015, they will reconvene in New York to agree on the definite to-do list for ending poverty worldwide – an impossible task without addressing climate change, a threat to so many of life’s basics: water, food, shelter, and safety. A global action plan on climate change is then due in Paris three months later.
    •Taken together, this gives government leaders 15 months from the Summit this September to prepare a shared and agreed strategy to fine-tune the goals and manage the details of the ongoing transition, while keeping track of the efforts undertaken country-by-country and making sure it all adds up. Throughout these 15 months we will continue to campaign and mobilize to ensure the climate crisis gains the political urgency it needs. http://peoplesclimate.org/

    There will be many messages and slogans during and surrounding the People’s Climate Mobilisation but the core, unifying slogan is “Action. Not Words” and you can add your locally or nationally relevant demand to that.
