Global Wakeup Call Jolted the Globe

The global wake-up call, organized by TckTckTck and Avaaz.org was a huge success with over 3,000 events in 130 countries. If the size of the mobilization was remarkable, so was the direct advocacy that resulted with calls going in to ministers offices in at least 100 countries, and probably more. The Australians were particularly hot on the phone with several activists reaching the Climate Change Minister Penny Wong directly -- Avaaz.org's live blog allowed one caller to report that she 'sounded weary.' In the UK one of the flash-mobbers at the wake-up call in Parliament Square got through to Gordon Brown and appealed to him to do more. In response, Gordon Brown committed to personally go to Copenhagen. Watch the video.
