And as you look at them, remember that it’s not always easy to do organizing of any kind there. We are enormously grateful to our colleagues across the People’s Republic. This top image is from Kunming

And this from Changsha

And this from Xian

Four students wearing numbered headbands (3, 5, 0) hold a handmade banner with green handprints forming "350" on blue background, standing outdoors near a brown wall and garden.

And this from Quanzhou:

A large group of children and adults pose for a photo outdoors near an elephant statue, holding banners with Chinese text. They appear to be at a community or educational event.

And this from somehwere else in Kunming

And this from Wuhan:

Children collaboratively paint a blue wall mural featuring colorful designs including blue and rainbow-bordered shapes with writing inside. Group art project outdoors with multiple young participants working together.

There are many more, from dozens of places across China–which is very good news, since the Chinese will pay a crucial role in the talks ahead. So many thanks to our colleagues at CYCAN, and others across the nation!
