In October of 2011, environmental activist Dillon Thomson is taking to the road for a grassroots speaking tour across the United States. Having worked as an activist for over four years, Dillon has seen firsthand the sluggishness of the environmental movement. Responding to the alarming indicators of ecological collapse, Dillon will travel to colleges, community centers, and family rooms throughout the United States to tap the already-existing frustration and organize an international movement committed to protecting life on the planet.
ZDay will be a free event for the public hosted by The Zeitgeist Movement, Washington Chapter (www.zmwa.org)
Attending will be many organizations bridging the spectrum of progressive interests, from social justice to ecological sustainability, setting up a booth with free informational materials.
We will be hosting key-note speakers throughout the day on a variety of topics both fascinating and edifying.
We are still considering organizations for attendance, so if you know of one, feel free to contact me at Jesse.M.Wa@Gmail.com
