sustainable system of energy production based on so lar, wind, geothermal, and other non-polluting tech nologies.
In Northern California, over 150 environmentalbased, social justice, faith-based, labor, and socialist organizations have come together to form the North ern California Climate Mobilization (NCCM), which is organizing a mass march and rally on Nov. 21 at Oak land’s downtown Civic Center/Frank Ogawa Plaza.
NCCM organizers hope to significantly surpass last year’s Sept. 21 action of 5000 in Oakland that paral leled the nationally organized 350.org People’s Cli mate March of 400,000 in New York City.
With an initial budget of $16,000, activists have planned a major rally that includes leading repre sentatives from a diverse range of organizations, in cluding May Boeve, executive director of the national 350.org. the heads of the San Francisco and Alameda County central labor councils, the Sierra Club, Black Lives Matter, and a host of frontline and indigenous community activists as well as a number of leading performing bands and poets.
To date, some 60,000 flyers have been distributed in all Bay Area counties. The Silkwood Affinity Group of the Sunflower Alliance raised an additional $7000 to rapid reduction in global warming pollution! Keep fossil fuels in the ground! 100% clean, safe, renewable energy!
End all fracking, tar sands mining and pipelines, offshore drilling, arctic drilling.
Stop expansion of the extractive economy. Wind, solar, geothermal power now.
No coal exports or crude-by-rail bomb trains in Northern California.
A dramatic and rapid reduction in global warm ing pollution is necessary to create a world united to repair the ravages of climate change! Industrial countries and polluting corporations of the global north need to pay their ecological debt to society and to the global south by providing funding for developing countries and vulnerable communities worldwide to adapt to the impacts of climate change and convert to sustainable economies.
A world with an economy that works for people and the planet! servation. We need a just transition to a sustainable, demilitarized economy based on renewable energy, clean transportation, and jobs for all at union wages. Convert water-wasting, polluting factory farms to sustainable organic agriculture. End corporate per sonhood; end “money equals free speech”; end bil lionaire purchase of elections.
A demilitarized world with peace and social justice for everyone; where Black Lives Matter; with justice and respect for immigrants and mi grants; where good jobs, clean air and water, and healthy communities belong to all.
End all forms of oppression and discrimination! No to environmental racism and pollution of indig enous, low-income, and frontline nations and com munities. Respect all indigenous lands. No milita rized police. No wars. No nuclear weapons or power. A true ecological approach must integrate questions of justice to protect biodiversity, honor all life on earth, and lift all people out of poverty.
