This was one of over 60 climate justice actions happening this week around the country and in Germany and Japan to send a message to Biden to End the Era of Fossil Fuels and keep his climate promises. Giant puppets, banners, flags, lots of people and so many cars and trucks honking in support of a livable, healthy planet for current and future generations.

 

From the organizers:

"Biden promised to be a climate president – yet under his watch, the U.S. continues to be the biggest producer of oil and gas in the world. Frontline communities & global scientists have been abundantly clear – we cannot avoid the very worst impacts of the climate crisis if we allow for any more fossil development.

 

This year, we have a key opportunity to demand Biden take bold action to stop fossil fuels -- by leveraging pressure on a global stage. In September, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is hosting a global Climate Ambition Summit where the “ticket to entry” is tangible action to keep fossil fuels – the core driver of the climate emergency – in the ground.

 

Starting this June, we’re mobilizing to turn up the pressure to make Biden end the era of fossil fuels -- and we need YOU to join us!"
