Oakland, CA - On October 23rd, ninety-two of the world's largest banks met in São Paulo, Brazil to vote on a policy that upholds Indigenous people's right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) to allow or disallow projects on their lands. Local activists and environmental allies protested against three of the banks involved with the financing of dirty fossil fuel projects (like the Dakota Access Pipeline and Keystone XL). The day started off with a prayer circle, followed by three divestment actions at Wells Fargo, Citibank, and JPMorgan Chase. This action was part of a global divestment movement, where over 50 actions were held across the world.

Workers clean up an oil spill in South Dakota. An estimated 210,000 gallons of oil leaked from the Keystone Pipeline in Marshall County, South Dakota, according to the pipeline's operator, TransCanada.
Crews shut down the pipeline and officials are investigating the cause of the leak. A federal agency says a leak was caused by damage during construction in 2008. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration issued a corrective action report on the estimated 210,000-gallon oil spill. The report says a weight installed on the pipeline nearly a decade ago may have damaged the pipeline and coating.
BATANGAS CITY MAY 4, 2016 - Thousands of people from different sectarian and religious groups march around Batangas City to protest coal. Around 8 proposed coal-fire power plants are set to be constructed around the province, countering the Philippines' climate initiative of reducing carbon emissions as part of the COP21 agreement.
Break Free 2016 is a week of coordinated direct actions that target the most dangerous fossil fuel projects, in an effort to keep coal, oil and gas in the ground and accelerate a just transition to 100% renewable energy. Thousands of people all over the planet are putting their bodies on the line to send a message to polluters and politicians that we need to break free from fossil fuels now.

The Severe Environment Corrosion Erosion Facility is a multi-laboratory, modular facility that allows researchers to safely examine the performance of materials under conditions ranging from atmospheric corrosion to highly corrosive and/or erosive environments similar to those existing in fossil fuel power plants and gasifiers. Researchers can use the facility to conduct experiments at low or high temperatures, in pure- or mixed-gas environments, and in pure- or mixed-gas/liquid environments. The laboratory features a safety system that detects gas leaks both inside and outside of the lab’s six research modules, each of which can be exposed to 11 different gases or dry air. Research conducted at the facility supports NETL’s investigations into oxy-fuel combustion oxidation, refractory materials stability, and fuels. It also sheds light on how existing power plants, which subject materials to extremely harsh conditions, can best be upgraded.

Greenpeace activists descended upon Ford’s world headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan wearing lungs costumes, to demand a response to the company’s efforts to fight strong fuel standards for cars and trucks.
Ford and other major automakers have been pressuring the EPA to relax or weaken current CAFE standards (corporate average fuel economy).
Actress and director Bonnie Wright (R-center) joined Greenpeace USA activists including Kate Melges (R) at Coca-Cola headquarters to deliver the message accepted by Coca-Cola Communications Director Ann Moore (L) and Senior Director of Environmental Policies Ben Jordan (L-center) that more than 585,000 people want the company to abandon single-use plastics. Greenpeace launched a global campaign spanning five continents on Coke in 2017. Greenpeace is urging the company to phase out throwaway plastic, introduce reusable containers and innovative delivery systems, and ensure that all remaining packaging is 100 percent recycled.

As roughly 9,000 people jogged along Boston’s Commonwealth Avenue, Greenpeace activists, dressed as Chase’s high-profile CEO, ran the race as well. But, these Jamie Dimon look-a-likes ran in reverse, with messages on their backs so that as runner passed they learned about Chase’s backwards stance on energy investing. After the race, Greenpeace activists offered refreshing, clean water to thirsty participants, letting them know it’s only a matter of time until the pipelines financed by Chase leak, and when they do, it could threaten our drinking water.

The Greenpeace Thermal Airship A.E. Bates flies over the Dallas, Texas area as part of a campaign confronting Exxon before its upcoming shareholder meeting on May 31st. The annual shareholder meeting in Texas is the perfect opportunity to hold the company accountable for its harmful endeavor of an oil state and oil diplomacy.

A home burns in Pine Canyon during the Lake Fire on August 12, 2020 in Lake Hughes, California. The wildfire exploded to at least 10,000 acres in the first few hours with no containment and destroying several homes and out buildings in Pine Canyon.
The Climate emergency is exacerbating the conditions that make fires more catastrophic. Hotter and drier conditions are extending the wildfire season and contributing to larger fires.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, unhealthy air is a serious public health emergency. Deadly air pollutants are exacerbated by dangerous smoke from these fires that threaten children, elderly populations, pregnant women, unhoused people, outdoor workers, and those with compromised immune systems and preexisting conditions.
Volunteers log petitions in the back of a rental truck in downtown Denver 8 August, 2016. A grassroots-led coalition united under the banner “Yes for Health and Safety Over Fracking” delivered boxes of signatures on August 8, 2016, to place two initiatives on Colorado’s November ballot. The initiatives, #75 and #78, aim to address shortcomings in state law and regulations around hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for oil and natural gas. The petition signatures were delivered to the Colorado Secretary of State's office in Denver.

LUSATIA, GERMANY-- May 13, 2016, Over 2000 people walked onto a giant coal mine, one of the largest polluters in Europe, to say that it's time we stop carving up our earth for our energy needs. Organizers will be camped out at the mine for as long as possible to make sure politicians and corporations know that it's time to #breakfree from fossil fuels.
Break Free 2016 is a week of coordinated direct actions that target the most dangerous fossil fuel projects, in an effort to keep coal, oil and gas in the ground and accelerate a just transition to 100% renewable energy. Thousands of people all over the planet are putting their bodies on the line to send a message to polluters and politicians that we need to break free from fossil fuels now.
Gary tells the story: In the 1830s, the United States government forced the people of the Choctaw Nation to leave their homeland in the area of Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana, and to walk 500 miles to Indian territory, which later became Oklahoma. These people suffered from starvation, cold, and lack of promised provisions. Many died along the way. Yet, in 1847, when a call went out to help people starving during Ireland's Potato Famine, the Choctaw responded, and sent all they could collect from their meager earnings.
