Naomi Klein says... There are MANY Green New Deals... What IF We took Science and Justice Seriously. We can Build a Much Larger Base of people who support a GREEN New Deal if we also include subjects that are NOT Crucial to Comfortable White People. Many Ecology People Have Enough Money, Good Jobs, Nice Houses and Nice Cars, College for their Children ETC... If we include Raising the Minimum Wage, Freeing Black Prisoners, Gun Control, Keep Abortion Legal and Equal Pay for Women... we would have a bigger group. Capitalism is NOT Working for Most People - 99%

Matt Nelson, Executive Director, Presente.org - Climate Change Causes Disaster in Central America and Starvation due to Drought - Migration. We are Likely to see Hundreds of Millions of People Walking North. Latinos will refuse to do jobs that kill us - RoundUP poisoning of Farm Workers. He was Born in Columbia- raised in Minnesota. Take back the money from the "Gangster Economy" ... Why not simply have Oil Companies buy stock in Solar/Wind Corporations. That way the can remain wealthy but change their FOCUS of their Corporations... BioFuel... Green Slime for Fuel. BP=Beyond Petroleum...

Abdul el Sayeed - Ran for Governor of Michigan. A Green New Deal in Detroit... Nurses are moving towards Medicare for All. Layoffs at GM. Asthma is Three times more likely in Detroit - Carbon Emitting Petroleum Refinery - EPA ruled them OK. No Public Transit in Detroit. We are building our infrastructure wrong post WW2... All about CARS - ( For Example: public trains/trolleys removed from Los Angeles.) The Way of Life is Crumbling... Corporate Subsidies for GM... and all Fossil Fuel Corporations. Financing our War Machine - Selling Weapons to Saudi Arabia is a Jobs Program for Ohio where they Make the Tanks.

Dr. Stephanie Kelton - Professor at Stony Brook University. Economic Policy. How are we going to pay for it all? How did we finance the NEW DEAL of the Great Depression? Government went off the Gold Standard. - Fake Money - Free Ourselves from Monetary Policy that Required Actual Gold Backing Up The Dollar. Maybe BitCoin? Priorities Out Of Whack! The US Government can simply Create More Money "Magically" to pay for a Green New Deal. What is holding us back is lack of votes... not lack of money... American Oligarchs believe they can protect themselfs from Climate Change. Raise the Taxes on the Super Rich. Cut Defense Spending in Half. Global Warming doesn't seem like a crisis when YOU OWN AN AIR CONDITIONER... and you can simply stay indoors during the afternoon heat.

Why are ExxonValdez and BP [British Petroleum] advertising on Television? Do they hope ads will cause increased sales? It all seems like Propaganda to convince the public that they are NOT EVIL.

What is this organization called Power Past Impossible? They say Climate Change is Wonderful! Warm Sunny Days in Alaska All Year 'Round!

Those ExxonValdez ads just really creep me out... They constantly show Trees and Meadows and the Park... and Biology research into alternative slime based fuel... BioWillie!

What is fossil fuel divestment?

https://gofossilfree.org/divestment/what-is-fossil-fuel-divestment/

Divestment is the opposite of an investment – it simply means getting rid of stocks, bonds, or investment funds that are unethical or morally ambiguous.

When you invest your money, you might buy stocks, bonds, or other investments that generate income for you. Universities (and colleges in the US), religious organizations, retirement funds, and other institutions put billions in these same kinds of investments to generate income to help them run. Fossil fuel investments are a risk for both investors and the planet, so we’re calling on institutions to divest from these companies.

Divestment is also to end to fossil fuel sponsorship. Fossil fuels companies cultivate sponsorship relationships to help create a ‘social licence to operate’. This contributes to the veneer of legitimacy that enables them to keep expanding operations at a time of climate crisis and to stifle the demands for justice of those communities who live on the frontline of their destructive, polluting operations.

We are an international network of campaigns and campaigners working toward freeing communities from fossil fuels. While each campaign is independently run and may bring different emphases and asks depending on their local context, the majority of campaigns are asking institutions to:

Immediately freeze any new investment in fossil fuel companies;
Divest from direct ownership and any commingled funds that include fossil fuel public equities and corporate bonds within 5 years
End their fossil fuels sponsorship
