We've just secured a space that allows us to open this event up to others and I wanted you all to know.

Filmmakers are using the web to promote their films, but also to mobilize action like never before.

At 11:00 am we will meet four extraordinary "Climate Witnesses" from Uganda, Biloxi, and the Pacific Islands who have been directly affected by climate change. They are in New York to meet with over 100 world leaders including President Obama who will meet on Tuesday for an important Climate Summit at the UN.

Then, at 12:00 we will be joined by filmmakers and festival organizers who are using film to tell climate change stories and mobilize millions to stop the clock on climate change. This includes filmmakers from Age of Stupid, No Impact Man, and Judy Harper who has organized the Solar-Powered Film Series for Green Edge NYC.

This is part of the TckTckTck ClimateVoice project organized by Oxfam and Climate Week NYC.

The format is a "Table Talk" discussion and top environmental bloggers will join us. The event will also be livestreamed and a featured show of the day on LiveStream.com http://www.livestream.com/voiceproject.

Bring a friend a join this incredible discussion.
