Street Theater at Saturday Market: Having Fun While Challenging the Climate Crisis

Posted by on November 1, 2013 in Activism, Environment, Peer Support | Comments Off on Street Theater at Saturday Market: Having Fun While Challenging the Climate Crisis

There is a campaign to impact peacefully the US Chamber of Commerce by reaching the local chambers about the climate crisis. My friend David Zupan took a video of our street theater. Here is his blurb about our guerrilla theater:

Watch activist David Oaks in “How We Stop Worrying and Deny Climate Change,” a new 10 Min film now on vimeo at:

Street Theater Against Climate Crisis

In spite of a recent spinal cord injury, David leads friends to the Saturday Market in Eugene, Oregon to engage the public in playful but thoughtful dialogue about climate change. In the role of cheerful “climate change deniers,” they collect signatures in support of giving prizes like the Golden Ostrich award to the best deniers like the Chamber of Commerce.

David Oaks wants to do more activist work as he did full time before his spinal cord injury. See his previous protest at the Eugene Chamber of Commerce:

But he desperately needs an expensive van designed to fit his special type of wheelchair.
