Women making calls for climate action to Pres. Obama and Sec. of State Clinton, 9/21/09

Around 30 people turned out today in Union Square, in Manhattan, for one of the Avaaz.org/tcktcktck campaign's Global Climate Wake-up Call, meant to be one of several happening around the city to kick off Climate Week.

After holding up their phones to "ring the alarm," participants, like the three women above, set about calling President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton to ask that they support a strong international climate treaty.

Did you flash mob for climate action today? Tell us how it went.
