What is your climate crisis demand?
For the September 20th NYC Climate Strike, our top-line demands are:
1. NO FOSSIL FUELS -- We demand an immediate end to fossil fuel extraction and consumption, and on the industry’s lobbying and intrusion into our media, democracy, and day-to-day lives.
2. JUST TRANSITION -- We demand the prioritization of frontline communities, workers, and those least responsible for the climate crisis. We demand globally equitable climate solutions in the transition to a 100% renewable economy.
3. HOLD POLLUTERS ACCOUNTABLE -- We demand accountability from fossil fuel executives, the Global North countries and institutions most responsible for causing the climate crisis. We demand the exclusion of big polluters from decision-making spaces. We demand they make reparations both by paying for climate damages and investing in a just transition to renewable energy.
With your help, we will ensure that this demands framework encompasses what you believe is needed to combat the climate crisis. Draw upon your experience as an individual, your worldview, and your knowledge of the climate crisis to write your demand.
For example, your demand could be, "Enact progressive climate change-combatting policy in all levels of government."
Think as broad or as specific as you think is fit. We want your voice to be heard.
