Dear friends,

Have you ever thought that the movement to fight climate change needs to get WAY bigger?

**Good news: on Sunday, a new TV show is coming out that might just get a huge number of people connecting dots on climate change. Check out the epic trailer for the show:**

It’s called “Years of Living Dangerously”, and it’s shaping up to be a pretty big deal. It’s got some big stars (Harrison Ford, Don Cheadle), is being produced by James Cameron (who made Avatar and Titanic), and tells a story of planetary proportions: the story of the climate crisis. The first of nine episodes is coming out on April 13th, and the buzz is really starting to build.

**This is one of those moments you want to seize, so we’re going big and launching a day of watch-parties on Sunday, April 13th.** All over the country, in living rooms and libraries, we’ll gather to watch the show, join a live web-chat afterwards, and talk about where we can go from here.

To make this work, we need people like you to step up and host an event. It’s pretty easy — the first episode is being streamed for free on YouTube (future episodes will be on Showtime), so all you need is a way to display it and a place for folks to gather and watch it.

**Can you help out by hosting a local watch-party on April 13th?**

**[Yes, I’m interested in hosting an event!](https://act.350.org/event/years/create/)**

[I can’t host an event, but I’d like to join one near me.](https://act.350.org/event/years/search/)

At 350.org, we’re working on a lot of big climate campaigns: the [Reject and Protect action in DC](https://rejectandprotect.org/) to stop the Keystone XL pipeline on April 26th, the fast-growing [Fossil Free](https://gofossilfree.org) divestment campaign, plus hundreds of vitally important local and regional struggles across the country.

All of these efforts have one thing in common: the more people that join them, the stronger this movement becomes. This show, “The Years of Living Dangerously”, has the potential to get a LOT of new folks thinking about the climate crisis.

So, let’s [harness this moment](https://act.350.org/event/years/create/).

With gratitude,

Anna for the 350.org team
