What: To protest Biden’s inaction on Line 3 and demand that he and the Army Corp of Engineers revoke the permit now.
Support Indigenous communities in Minnesota who are putting their bodies on the line trying to defend their home from the construction of the Line 3 tar sands pipeline.
Tell President Biden to get off his ass. He pledged to be the climate president, and it’s in his power to put a stop to this pipeline.
1
That the Government must tell the truth about the climate and wider ecological emergency, it must reverse all policies not in alignment with that position and must work alongside the media to communicate the urgency for change including what individuals, communities and businesses need to do.
2
The Government must enact legally binding policies to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2025 and take further action to remove the excess of atmospheric greenhouse gases. It must cooperate internationally so that the global economy runs on no more than half a planet’s worth of resources per year.
3
We do not trust our Government to make the bold, swift and long-term changes necessary to achieve these changes and we do not intend to hand further power to our politicians. Instead we demand a Citizens’ Assembly to oversee the changes, as we rise from the wreckage, creating a democracy fit for purpose.
4
We demand a just transition that prioritizes the most vulnerable people and indigenous sovereignty; establishes reparations and remediation led by and for Black people, Indigenous people, people of color and poor communities for years of environmental injustice, establishes legal rights for ecosystems to thrive and regenerate in perpetuity, and repairs the effects of ongoing ecocide to prevent extinction of human and all species, in order to maintain a livable, just planet for all.

A coalition of Bay Area Climate direct action groups occupied the San Francisco Army Corps of Engineers office today to demand President Joe Biden cancel the Line 3 permit. They were arrested and released later in the afternoon.
This set of three 17x4 banners were painted for the outside support rally. Designed as vertical banners, they were grounded due to strong winds. The #defundLine3 pop-up-art-show also was displayed--part of the week of Arts and Action. #StopTheMoneyPipeline #StopLine3
While #WaterProtectors risked arrest inside the building in the Army Corps of Engineers office in SF yesterday, Indigenous leader Patricia St. Onge spoke on what is at stake. Patricia is Haudenosaunee and Quebecoise, adopted Cheyenne River Lakota, as well as being a grandmother and mom.

8th annual Global Anti-Chevron Day. Communities damaged by Chevron share their stories about the impact of the oil company’s environmental destruction and human rights violations in advance of Chevron’s annual shareholder’s meeting.”For over a century Chevron has poisoned Richmond and other SF Bay Area residents with deadly air pollution from its Richmond refinery. Its influence over Richmond politics and nonprofits is legendary. Communities around the globe—Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Burma (Myanmar), to name just a few—suffer from deadly water, soil, and air pollution as well as inhumane working conditions and political interference. Chevron and its partner companies steadfastly deny any responsibility, in order to keep the oil and their profits flowing.

Here is a video I created about the street mural in front of the Oakland Federal Building I participated in. I helped paint as well as took photos and video. Some of my footage was used in this very well produced video by Peter Menchini who was nice enough to give me some credit for my drone shots here: vimeo.com/518389092
I'm on the Faith Outreach Working Group of The Poor Peoples Campaign representing The SF Quakers and our Peace and social Concerns Committee. The Poor Peoples Campaign notified me about the event because it might be a good fit for my art background.
Here is some info about the action that help you understand the reasons behind it.
This street mural was painted on February 27, 2021 on Clay Street, peacefully blockaded directly in front of the Oakland, California Federal Building using nontoxic clay and tempera paints.
For seven years, Indigenous communities in Minnesota and their allies have been resisting the construction of Line 3, an oil pipeline connecting the tar sands in Canada to Wisconsin. Enbridge Energy, the company responsible, has a terrible environmental track record, and this pipeline would violate several treaties with the Ojibwe people and cross 200 bodies of water.
In February Lakota youth from the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River tribal nations ran over 93 miles back to the Oceti Sakowin Camp site to call on President Biden to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). The youth are asking for everyone who stood with Standing Rock four years ago to join this call.
We are responding to a call from Indigenous leaders to be in solidarity with the Water Protectors by blocking an entire city block in downtown Oakland and painting a large street mural with the words: STOP LINE 3 & DAPL - BUILD BACK FOSSIL FREE.
This action is part of “Build Back Fossil Free,” the solution-ary push on the Biden Harris Administration to end the era of fossil fuel production, and protect communities reeling from the climate and COVID-19 crises.
DEFUND CLIMATE CHAOS!
BlackRock’s San Francisco headquarters
October 29, 2021
In the lead-up to COP26 (the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Glasgow, Scotland), hundreds rallied in front of BlackRock, the worlds’ largest asset manager, with the message: “BLACKROCK, BANKS & BIDEN: STOP SETTING OUR WORLD ON FIRE!”
20 groups designed and painted circular murals which were then ‘woven’ together into a massive mural with an indigenous inspired basket design, filling the streets in front of BlackRock. The paint was non-toxic, some of it made from ash and charcoal from CA wildfires, some of it clay based from the CA foothills.
Members of Extinction Rebellion San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley Climate Action Now blockaded the front entrance to BlackRock with a human chain and ‘lock box’ tubes, while 1000 Grandmothers for a Livable Future used banners and mock oil derricks to redirect traffic and block off streets for the mural painting. As the massive mural was being completed, 2 young climbers unfurled a 10x50’ banner on the Salesforce Transit Center facade facing BlackRock.
The SF Bay Area based group Youth vs Apocalypse, led hundreds of high school and middle school students, who were missing school, in a march for their future through the San Francisco financial district, calling on banks to divest from fossil fuels.
From organizer David Solnit:
"Climate change is here, it is not a problem for the future; it has destroyed whole towns and communities at an ever increasing rate. We need Joe Biden and world leaders to act ahead of COP26 in Glasgow. We need top assets managers like BlackRock to divest. Time is up."
“On the eve of the Glasgow Climate Talks, wildfire survivors, Indigenous communities and Northern California community groups came together to paint the streets, send a message to Glasgow, and lay a creative siege to the biggest investor in climate chaos—BlackRock. It was part of a day of global action to #DefundClimateChaos with actions in over 100 cities in 26 countries on every continent—and painting street murals was a popular medium for the message.”

In the lead-up to COP26 (the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Glasgow, Scotland), hundreds rallied in front of BlackRock, the worlds’ largest asset manager, with the message: “BLACKROCK, BANKS & BIDEN: STOP SETTING OUR WORLD ON FIRE!”
20 groups designed and painted circular murals which were then ‘woven’ together into a massive mural with an indigenous inspired basket design, filling the streets in front of BlackRock. The paint was non-toxic, some of it made from ash and charcoal from CA wildfires, some of it clay based from the CA foothills.
Members of Extinction Rebellion San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley Climate Action Now blockaded the front entrance to BlackRock with a human chain and ‘lock box’ tubes, while 1000 Grandmothers for a Livable Future used banners and mock oil derricks to redirect traffic and block off streets for the mural painting. As the massive mural was being completed, 2 young climbers unfurled a 10x50’ banner on the Salesforce Transit Center facade facing BlackRock.
The SF Bay Area based group Youth vs Apocalypse, led hundreds of high school and middle school students, who were missing school, in a march for their future through the San Francisco financial district, calling on banks to divest from fossil fuels.

Youth strikers, climate impacted communities, and climate and environmental justice activists joined together to escalate the demand for President Joe Biden to #BuildBackFossilFree and stop all new fossil fuel projects, ahead of his Leaders Summit on Climate starting tomorrow, from April 22-23. A Climate Clock traveled from Union Square in New York City to the White House in Washington, D.C. with a petition demanding Biden and world governments stop all fossil fuel expansion. Speakers represented climate impacted communities and the demands of the 300,000 people who signed the Build Back Fossil Free petitions.
