Artists For Humanity's is a non-profit group whose mission is to bridge economic, racial and social divisions by providing underserved youth with the keys to self-sufficiency through paid employment in the arts. The organization give young people hands the opportunity to fuse their creativity with the business world and become more confident in their future chosen professions.

Most recently, Artists for Humanity have an apprentice program that is housed in an award-winning “green” building that inspired the teenagers to create a line of green furniture. After months of research and development, the teen-artists produced ReVision, a line of furniture that incorporates magazines and junk mail into no-VOC resin.

This is huge, guys, a decision that will either make or break the planet! You know, the big blue ball we all live on and raise out families on? Yeah, that one! There's a huge act that needs to get passed if we want it around in the next few hundred years, so DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Global Warming is on the rise, and if we don't do something now it will only worsen and the efforts to try and correct them will be harder and harder with every year that passes! Write your Senator TONIGHT and tell him why it is so important to vote YES on Climate Security Act on cloture. Then, go here and sign the petition! We're just below 3,000 signatures now, and we need to reach 20,000 in the next couple of hours...so act now, repost this bulletin and tell the WORLD! No, nothing terrible will happen to you tonight at midnight if you don't but trust me, something beautiful will! Be part of this monumental change in not just our country, but the world and all the generations to come!!!!!
