STAND WITH COMMUNITIES, NOT CORPORATIONS
September 13, 2018 - As the Global Climate Action Summit (GCAS) begins, Indigenous and frontline communities continue to send Governor Brown and those attending the summit the message - stand with communities, not the climate profiteers and the fossil fuel industry.
From the organizers:
"Jerry Brown’s promotion of continued fossil fuel production, carbon trading markets and other incentives to oil, gas and other polluting corporations, perpetuates climate change and decimates Indigenous communities and Native nations, communities of color and other working class peoples throughout California and around the world.
Such perverse subsidies for “climate capitalism” will turn frontline communities into sacrifice zones for decades to come."
Today's action began at Jessie Park with a march to Moscone Center, the site of the summit. In a return appearance, 1000 Grandmothers Bay Area blocked intersections to create a safe space for the protesters outside the summit.
This weeks actions have been organized by Idle No More SF Bay, Diablo Rising Tide, the Ruckus Society, It Takes Roots, Indigenous Environmental Network, the Sunflower Alliance and Brown's Last Chance.

CHEVRON: End Climate Chaos
The Gates of Chevron Refinery
Richmond, CA
END CLIMATE CHAOS!
On Saturday, August 6, hundreds of Richmond residents and people from all over the Bay Area came together to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the 2012 Chevron Refinery explosion and fire that sent over 15,000 people to the hospital.
Community members marching from Richmond Bart, Kayak-tivists landing at Keller Beach, Street Murals and a public art installation (The Fenceline Project) all converged at the gates of Chevrons' Refinery in Richmond, CA.
The message to Chevron - "we REFUSE another 120 years of violence on our bodies, our communities, our air."
“120 years of broken promises, no accountability, profit at the expense of our health and climate. Our health is not for sale!”
September 10, 2018 - San Francisco, CA - Parc55 Hotel
Hundreds gathered outside the site of the Governors' Climate and Forest Task Force meeting leading up to the Global Climate Action Summit.
From the Indigenous and Frontline communities organizing this protest: "People of the world are being led astray by polluting industries and elected officials promoting climate capitalist systems like carbon trading and carbon tax shell games. These systems do nothing to stop the fossil fuel industry from continuing to cause climate disruption. They allow the fossil fuel industry to continue to harm Indigenous people and communities around the world from extraction to transport to refining."
"Today hundreds helped us demand that our Indigenous representatives from tribes and organizations that are resisting cap and trade schemes, and instead promoting real solutions be allowed to address the Governor's Climate and Forests Task Force at the Parc 55 Hotel. Their voices were heard and they were given a chance to speak the truth [of] the tribal groups being courted by those promoting carbon trading in the place of real solutions to climate change."
This action was organized by Idle No More SF Bay, Indigenous Environmental Network, It Takes Roots, Diablo Rising Tide, Indigenous Bloc at RISE Days of Action, and Indigenous Rising Media.
