Climate Change Protest - Greta Thunberg

Climate Change Protest - Young Person with Sign

Youth activists are planning to stage worldwide protests against climate change on Friday, part of a campaign to pressure governments into taking action on the environment, the Associated Press reported.

Led by Greta Thunberg, the activists told reporters that there will be demonstrations in cities all over the globe ahead of a United Nations summit in Glasgow.

"It has been a very, very strange year and a half with this pandemic, but of course, the climate crisis has not disappeared," Thunberg told reporters. "It's the opposite, it's even more urgent now than it was before."

The climate crisis does not exist in a vacuum. Other socio-economic crises such as racism, sexism, ableism, class inequality, and more amplify the climate crisis and vice versa. It is not just a single issue, our different struggles and liberations are connected and tied to each other. We are united in our fight for climate justice, but we must also acknowledge that we do not experience the same problems; nor do we experience them to the same extent.

MAPA (Most Affected Peoples and Areas) are experiencing the worst impacts of the climate crisis and are unable to adapt to it. This is because of the elite of the Global North who have caused the destruction of the lands of MAPA through colonialism, imperialism, systemic injustices, and their wanton greed which ultimately caused the warming of the planet. With both the COVID, climate, and every crisis in history, overexploited countries and marginalized sectors of society are systematically left behind to fend for themselves.

The time to join the masses and follow the lead of the environmental defenders and workers has been long overdue. Reparations to MAPA must be paid for the historic injustices of the richest elite, drastic emission cuts in the Global North, vaccine equity, cancellation of debt, and climate finance are only the beginning of these. Together we will fight for a just future where no one is left behind. The historical victories of collective action have proven the need for the youth to stand united with the multisectoral, intergenerational struggle for a better future for all; a future where people and planet are prioritized.


Sure... People Say That Climate Change will only Kill Off Four Billion Humans and Then The World Will Heal BUT... Why Not Take Action Now and Prevent Disaster? All That Mad Rushing Around Traveling All Over the Place FOR AMUSEMENT is in My Past... THE Past... Yes... I Used to Drive All Over the USA in order to Dance at Grateful Dead Concerts... WELL... We Can't Do That Anymore...

Move to Amend dot org - a movement to eliminate corporate control of government... AND... A Fierce Green Fire. Documentary Movie of the Ecology Movement

https://movetoamend.org/
We the People not We the Corporations...

 We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling and other related cases, and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.

"A Fierce Green Fire" movie: a of the ecology movement...
http://www.afiercegreenfire.com
A FIERCE GREEN FIRE: The Battle for a Living Planet is the first big-picture exploration of the environmental movement – grassroots and global activism spanning fifty years from conservation to climate change. Directed and written by Mark Kitchell, Academy Award-nominated director of Berkeley in the Sixties, and narrated by Robert Redford, Ashley Judd, Van Jones, Isabel Allende and Meryl Streep, the film premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2012, has won acclaim at festivals around the world, and in 2013 begins theatrical release as well as educational distribution and use by environmental groups and grassroots activists.
Inspired by the book of the same name by Philip Shabecoff and informed by advisors like Edward O. Wilson, A FIERCE GREEN FIRE chronicles the largest movement of the 20th century and one of the keys to the 21st. It brings together all the major parts of environmentalism and connects them. It focuses on activism, people fighting to save their homes, their lives, the future – and succeeding against all odds.

Vote No Recall - California Governor - meme - gvan42

and A Guy on Facebook Said: Our household is voting NO on the Republican Recall. If California was its own sovereign nation, we would be ranked the 5th largest economy in the world. We are not going to hand the reins of running this state over to a reality TV star, a radio talk show pundit nor a real estate broker. I agree that Gavin has made mistakes, however, they do not rise to the level of being fired from office. Vote NO on the Republican Recall!

and now for something completely different:

Sign the petition: Support National Popular Vote Now. END THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. Hillary Got MORE VOTES but we got Trump. Al Gore Got MORE VOTES but we got Bush Jr.

Clearly The Electoral College is a BAD system that Allowed The Two Worst Presidents Ever to be Elected! Write to Your Elected Representative and SIGN THIS PETITION...

https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/sign-the-petition-support-national-popular-vote-now

It's time to ensure the candidate with popular support is actually elected. How? With the National Popular Vote Compact.

What's required? States just pass a law awarding their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the popular vote. Once states that add up to 270 electoral votes join, then we guarantee that the popular vote winner always becomes president!

We're already 60 percent of the way there. Let's up the pressure.

Sign the petition to all 50 state governments: Join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact so that in the United States we can finally elect our presidents by national popular vote.

The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. 

https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/fix-the-broken-electoral-college-pass-national-popular-vote?source=website

Fix the broken Electoral College - pass National Popular Vote - another Online Petition...


The Electoral College was Intentionally Designed to keep the Masses from Selecting the President... The Founding Fathers wanted to Keep Power in their Own Hands... No Votes for Blacks or Women... only rich white men vote...

MD Said: At my daughters house in Bakersfield. Time for my 2 mile walk, I get lost no worries I have GPS, pull out my trusted I-phone put in the coordinates and off I go, it is so fricken hot in Bakersfield, 5 minutes on my journey IPhone conks out and I get a message IPhone needs to cool down grrrr

and I Replied: I had no idea that iPhones FAIL in Hot Temperatures! That's Totally Unacceptable... When I walk around I carry one so IF I FALL DOWN I can call for help... I also take pictures of Flowers and Clouds BUT... The Main Reason is Safety... but I Never go Out when it's Hot. I Can do a Walk at Dawn in the COOL and Listen to the BATS...  

In the Late 1970s I worked at a Computer Company that made communications gear for the USAF... ALL Equipment Must Prove that it worked at High Temperatures and Extreme vibration... Because... In an airplane, it gets hot and things shake... WHY CAN"T APPLE JUST MAKE STUFF LIKE WE DID 50 Years Ago?

“This sixty-year campaign to make libertarianism mainstream and eventually take the government itself is at the heart of Democracy in Chains. . . . If you’re worried about what all this means for America’s future, you should be.”—NPR
 
An explosive exposé of the right’s relentless campaign to eliminate unions, suppress voting, privatize public education, stop action on climate change, and alter the Constitution.

Behind today’s headlines of billionaires taking over our government is a secretive political establishment with long, deep, and troubling roots. The capitalist radical right has been working not simply to change who rules, but to fundamentally alter the rules of democratic governance. But billionaires did not launch this movement; a white intellectual in the embattled Jim Crow South did. Democracy in Chains names its true architect—the Nobel Prize-winning political economist James McGill Buchanan—and dissects the operation he and his colleagues designed over six decades to alter every branch of government to disempower the majority.
