Dear friends on WSFDiscuss and the Social Movements list, and friends  
meeting at the Puno Cumbre in Peru starting from tomorrow, May 29

Fwd: ISUMA - Countdown to Copenhagen: Live from the Floe Edge

             Climate – climate change, climate crisis, climate  
justice - is today on everyone’s mind, and deep in our subconscious.

             It was there, everywhere, at the World Social Forum that  
took place at Belém in January this year.

             Here’s something on that – a report from the edge – that  
you might like to hook into.  It is going on stream tomorrow, May 29  
– the very same day as all of you are meeting at the Puno Cumbre ! :  
A live broadcast from an ice floe :

… a live webcast on Friday May 29, featuring Siila Watt-Cloutier,  
Inuit climate activist and 2007 Nobel Peace Prize nominee, speaking  
on Inuit, Human Rights and Climate Change live from Iqaluit, Nunavut  
to a worldwide audience.. The program leads off at 7:45 pm EST with  
the World Premiere of Tungijuq, Isuma’s new 6-minute video starring  
Inuit jazz and throat-singing sensation, Tanya Tagaq. At 8 pm Siila  
Watt-Cloutier delivers the 9th annual LaFontaine-Baldwin Lecture,  
introduced by John Ralston Saul, The Right Honorable Michaëlle Jean,  
Governor General of Canada, Isuma’s Zacharias Kunuk and The  
Honourable Ann Meekitjuk Hanson, Commissioner of Nunavut.
