Also, many thanks to the hundreds of people who took action with us this weekend at the Treasure Island Music Festival by participating in the Sow the Seed photo petition and sending postcards asking Congress to pass the Global Food Security Act and asking Obama to support a Global Climate Fund at COP 16 this December in Cancun.
Photos taken will be added to thousands of others from around the world and used during meetings with governments, with media and at campaign events to make sure our world leaders hear your demands for them to tackle climate change, secure food supplies and reduce poverty.
