Tomorrow: "11:15am— Speakers discuss climate science and Heartland's denialism in Grant Park, across from the Hilton Chicago"

Protest Outside Heartland Institute Conference in Chicago - The Paramus Post - Greater Paramus News and Lifestyle Webzine

Forecast the Facts, SumOfUs.org and 350.org have organized their members to “crowd-fund” bicycle-driven billboards that parody the Heartland Institute’s Unabomber ads. These people-powered ads, which feature Heartland supporters Pfizer, Comcast, and Microsoft, will circle downtown Chicago during Heartland’s climate change denial conference at the Hilton Chicago beginning Monday morning...
In addition to the ads, Forecast the Facts will be joining local activists as well as members of SumOfUs.org, the Sierra Club, the League of Conservation Voters, and Greenpeace in a grassroots rally on Tuesday morning outside the Hilton Chicago.
Tuesday, May 22 schedule and photo opportunities:
10am— Activists gather at the Cloud Gate in Millennium Park’s AT&T Plaza, and begin march to Hilton Chicago
11:00am— Arrive at the Hilton Chicago Hotel and the Heartland Institute’s Conference on Climate Change Denial at 720 S Michigan Ave.
11:15am— Speakers discuss climate science and Heartland's denialism in Grant Park, across from the Hilton Chicago
