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.
