Photo from the Climate Strike and march in Pittsburgh on 9/24/21. Information from the event on Facebook: The world is in a state of emergency. Across the globe the climate crisis is wreaking havoc on our communities, destroying our homes and livelihoods, and leaving death and destruction in its wake. The message is clear: our extractive system has resulted in the greatest crisis we have ever faced, and now we must rise to combat this monster of our own making for all of our futures. We cannot let politics or corporatism convince us that there is no way to stop it, because there is: a just transition from fossil fuels to a regenerative economy.
We know this can't be done in a day, but the fight has begun and now we must act strongly to show those in power that we are united and will not back down. That is why we are calling on you, citizens, organizations, and communities, to join us in this fight. To be truly united for a future that reflects justice for all.
Our Demands:
Represent Youth in Local Climate Decisions. Pittsburgh politics has failed to be truly representative of all its communities, especially its youth. We want diverse representation at the table and an actual part in the decision making process- we are not pawns for press points
Ban Fracking! In addition to exacerbating climate change, fracking harms our communities and destroys our county's beautiful wild spaces. That is why we demand Allegheny County ban all new fracked gas wells and move towards closing all remaining wells, while ensuring the protection and new employment of their workers.
Tax Big Business for Green Infrastructure. Big Businesses like UPMC and fossil fuel companies must be taxed to help fund new Green Infrastructure programs; these programs will get us to the 100% renewable energy threshold mandated by the latest IPCC report
Stop Line 3! We are demanding that the US Federal Government halt ongoing construction of Line 3, an oil pipeline being constructed in Minnesota which will not only potentially leak harmful chemicals into the environment, but contributes to fossil fuel infrastructure and the ongoing environmental racism and treaty violations against Native Americans particularly the Anishinaabe. More info: stopline3.org
Just Transition and Clean Jobs for All. We are demanding a Just Transition to 100% renewable energy and a regenerative economy by 2050 and a crucial part of that will be ensuring that all people have clean, green, healthy jobs that pay a living wage.
Fight for Intersectional Climate Justice. As a movement, as communities, and individuals, we must acknowledge the intersectional nature of our struggles and work together towards the goal of a safe, healthy, and regenerative future. We need to put aside the idea that our movements are separate, and address issues of race, class, gender, identity, policing and government in tandem with our environment.

STOP LINE 3 & DAPL \\ BUILD BACK FOSSIL FREE
Oakland Federal Building
February 27th, 2021
Massive, beautiful STREET MURAL in Oakland, CA., sponsored by Idle No More SF Bay, Climate Justice Street Mural Project, Distributed Sound Collective, 1,000 Grandmothers for Future Generations and East Point Peace Academy.
From the organizers:
"We are here to protect the water, climate and communities in solidarity with indigenous-led movements fighting the Line 3 and (DAPL) Dakota Access Pipe Lines. We call on the Biden/Harris administration to cancel these pipelines and to Build Back Fossil Free-- to end the era of fossil fuel production, and protect communities reeling from the climate and COVID-19"
The big message was "STOP LINE 3 & DAPL \\ BUILD BACK FOSSIL FREE" with 12 groups painting their own visions for future generations.

Tax Big Business for Green Infrastructure. Big Businesses like UPMC and fossil fuel companies must be taxed to help fund new Green Infrastructure programs; these programs will get us to the 100% renewable energy threshold mandated by the latest IPCC report
Stop Line 3! We are demanding that the US Federal Government halt ongoing construction of Line 3, an oil pipeline being constructed in Minnesota which will not only potentially leak harmful chemicals into the environment, but contributes to fossil fuel infrastructure and the ongoing environmental racism and treaty violations against Native Americans particularly the Anishinaabe. More info: stopline3.org
Just Transition and Clean Jobs for All. We are demanding a Just Transition to 100% renewable energy and a regenerative economy by 2050 and a crucial part of that will be ensuring that all people have clean, green, healthy jobs that pay a living wage.
Fight for Intersectional Climate Justice. As a movement, as communities, and individuals, we must acknowledge the intersectional nature of our struggles and work together towards the goal of a safe, healthy, and regenerative future. We need to put aside the idea that our movements are separate, and address issues of race, class, gender, identity, policing and government in tandem with our environment.

Photo from the Climate Strike and march in Pittsburgh on 9/24/21. Information from the event on Facebook: The world is in a state of emergency. Across the globe the climate crisis is wreaking havoc on our communities, destroying our homes and livelihoods, and leaving death and destruction in its wake. The message is clear: our extractive system has resulted in the greatest crisis we have ever faced, and now we must rise to combat this monster of our own making for all of our futures. We cannot let politics or corporatism convince us that there is no way to stop it, because there is: a just transition from fossil fuels to a regenerative economy.
We know this can't be done in a day, but the fight has begun and now we must act strongly to show those in power that we are united and will not back down. That is why we are calling on you, citizens, organizations, and communities, to join us in this fight. To be truly united for a future that reflects justice for all.
Our Demands:
Represent Youth in Local Climate Decisions. Pittsburgh politics has failed to be truly representative of all its communities, especially its youth. We want diverse representation at the table and an actual part in the decision making process- we are not pawns for press points

STOP LINE 3 & DAPL \\ BUILD BACK FOSSIL FREE
Oakland Federal Building
February 27th, 2021
Massive, beautiful STREET MURAL in Oakland, CA., sponsored by Idle No More SF Bay, Climate Justice Street Mural Project, Distributed Sound Collective, 1,000 Grandmothers for Future Generations and East Point Peace Academy.
From the organizers:
"We are here to protect the water, climate and communities in solidarity with indigenous-led movements fighting the Line 3 and (DAPL) Dakota Access Pipe Lines. We call on the Biden/Harris administration to cancel these pipelines and to Build Back Fossil Free-- to end the era of fossil fuel production, and protect communities reeling from the climate and COVID-19"
The big message was "STOP LINE 3 & DAPL \\ BUILD BACK FOSSIL FREE" with 12 groups painting their own visions for future generations.

Sunrise Pittsburgh, Socialist Alternative, Green New Deal for Pittsburgh, Ohio Valley Environmental Resistance, the Izaak Walton League of Allegheny County, Putting Down Roots, 350 Pittsburgh, Clean Water Action, OnePennsylvania, Breathe Collaborative, Heartwood, Pittsburghers Against Single-Use Plastic, Green Party of Allegheny County, Palestinian Solidarity Committee, Asian Solidarity Alliance, Pitt Asian Student Association, Protect Penn Trafford, Casa San Jose, Women for a Healthy Environment, YOU, and more to come!
Photo from the Climate Strike and march in Pittsburgh on 9/24/21. Information from the event on Facebook: The world is in a state of emergency. Across the globe the climate crisis is wreaking havoc on our communities, destroying our homes and livelihoods, and leaving death and destruction in its wake. The message is clear: our extractive system has resulted in the greatest crisis we have ever faced, and now we must rise to combat this monster of our own making for all of our futures. We cannot let politics or corporatism convince us that there is no way to stop it, because there is: a just transition from fossil fuels to a regenerative economy.
We know this can't be done in a day, but the fight has begun and now we must act strongly to show those in power that we are united and will not back down. That is why we are calling on you, citizens, organizations, and communities, to join us in this fight. To be truly united for a future that reflects justice for all.
Our Demands:
Represent Youth in Local Climate Decisions. Pittsburgh politics has failed to be truly representative of all its communities, especially its youth. We want diverse representation at the table and an actual part in the decision making process- we are not pawns for press points
Ban Fracking! In addition to exacerbating climate change, fracking harms our communities and destroys our county's beautiful wild spaces. That is why we demand Allegheny County ban all new fracked gas wells and move towards closing all remaining wells, while ensuring the protection and new employment of their workers.
Tax Big Business for Green Infrastructure. Big Businesses like UPMC and fossil fuel companies must be taxed to help fund new Green Infrastructure programs; these programs will get us to the 100% renewable energy threshold mandated by the latest IPCC report
Stop Line 3! We are demanding that the US Federal Government halt ongoing construction of Line 3, an oil pipeline being constructed in Minnesota which will not only potentially leak harmful chemicals into the environment, but contributes to fossil fuel infrastructure and the ongoing environmental racism and treaty violations against Native Americans particularly the Anishinaabe. More info: stopline3.org
Just Transition and Clean Jobs for All. We are demanding a Just Transition to 100% renewable energy and a regenerative economy by 2050 and a crucial part of that will be ensuring that all people have clean, green, healthy jobs that pay a living wage.
Fight for Intersectional Climate Justice. As a movement, as communities, and individuals, we must acknowledge the intersectional nature of our struggles and work together towards the goal of a safe, healthy, and regenerative future. We need to put aside the idea that our movements are separate, and address issues of race, class, gender, identity, policing and government in tandem with our environment.

STOP LINE 3 & DAPL \\ BUILD BACK FOSSIL FREE
Oakland Federal Building
February 27th, 2021
Massive, beautiful STREET MURAL in Oakland, CA., sponsored by Idle No More SF Bay, Climate Justice Street Mural Project, Distributed Sound Collective, 1,000 Grandmothers for Future Generations and East Point Peace Academy.
From the organizers:
"We are here to protect the water, climate and communities in solidarity with indigenous-led movements fighting the Line 3 and (DAPL) Dakota Access Pipe Lines. We call on the Biden/Harris administration to cancel these pipelines and to Build Back Fossil Free-- to end the era of fossil fuel production, and protect communities reeling from the climate and COVID-19"
The big message was "STOP LINE 3 & DAPL \\ BUILD BACK FOSSIL FREE" with 12 groups painting their own visions for future generations.
The Jewish Youth Climate Movement, with support from the interfaith organization GreenFaith, led a non-violent civil disobedience action on October 18, 2021 outside of BlackRock’s New York headquarters to demand the global asset management firm stop funding the fossil fuel industry. Police arrested at least nine people -including three rabbis- who were demonstrating as part of the protest against BlackRock. (Photo by Erik McGregor)

WELLS FARGO: PROTECT FUTURE GENERATIONS -DEFUND LINE 3 & FOSSIL FUELS!
San Francisco Financial District
Wells Fargo World Headquarters
April 9, 2021
Hundreds gathered with a message for Wells Fargo:
- Defund Line 3
- Defund Fossil Fuels
- Fire Wells Board Chair Charles Noski!
A giant street mural was painted the length of a city block, with individual circles painted by 10 different organizations envisioning a world where future generations are protected.
__________
From stopline3.org:
"Tribal nations, community and environmental groups in Minnesota have fought for six years to stop Canadian oil giant Enbridge Energy from building the massive Line 3 pipeline in Northern Minnesota, to take oil from Canada’s tar sands region to Superior, Wis.
The pipeline violates several treaties with the Ojibwe people that establish their right to hunt, fish, and gather along the proposed route.The pipeline would cross 200 bodies of water, including the Mississippi River twice.
If built, Line 3 would carry hundreds of thousands of barrels a day of tar sands crude oil -- some of the dirtiest oil in the world -- and would contribute the equivalent of 50 coal plants worth of carbon pollution to the atmosphere. Its carbon footprint would exceed the entire state of Minnesota’s and, like Keystone XL, would extend the economic viability of the ultra-polluting crude oil source in a way that one expert famously called “game over for the climate.” "

This tent village outside the Minnesota State Capitol is associated with the Stop Line 3 campaign. The protest concerns plans to drive a pipeline that would bring nearly 1 million barrels/day of tar sands from Alberta, Canada to Superior, Wisconsin. The pipeline would pass through untouched wetlands and the treaty lands of the Anishinaabe people, causing irreversible environmental damage.
