> 
>         Earlier today President Obama announced new proposals for
>           regulating carbon emissions from power plants.
> 
>         They're a good thing -- some advocates think they could be
>           stronger; others are powerfully supportive. To me, most of
>           all, they seem obvious, the kind of thing that should have
>           happened many administrations ago, and that I’m glad are
>           happening now.
> 
>         And the reason they're happening now is...you.
> 
>         As we've built a climate movement together with our allies
>           and all of you, politicians have finally begun to sense that
>           they have some space to act, and some pressure to move into
>           that space. If Beyond Coal and Mountain Justice Summer and
>           countless other organizations and campaigns hadn’t made coal
>           an easy target; if the Keystone and fossil fuel divestment
>           campaigns hadn’t turned up the heat on climate change; if
>           hundreds of thousands of you hadn’t marched and written and
>           emailed, then today’s announcement would not have come.
> 
>         And since much much much more needs to happen, we'll
>             all need to turn up the volume in the months ahead. That’s
>             why it’s so essential that we all turn out in glorious force
>             in New York City the weekend of September 20 for the People's
>               Climate March -- save the date and RSVP
>               as soon as possible. We're going to raise the volume
>             high enough that the momentum for change will accelerate,
>             not stall. 
> 
>         By themselves, these individual decisions -- about power
>           plant emissions, about Keystone and tar sands, about coal
>           ports and fracking, about fossil fuel subsidies and divestment
>           -- don’t turn the tide on climate change. But make no mistake:
>           movement pressure is starting to bring results.
> 
>         The pieces are in place for real progress, but the pieces
>           won’t move themselves. We
>             need to keep showing up. Now more than ever.
