Three new reports out today make it plain that President Biden and other leaders are still trading away our future and aren’t doing nearly enough, fast enough, to fight climate change. I ran down the reports in our blog, but if you're in-range, the best way to help us deliver this message is to meet us in San Francisco tomorrow Nov 15, to shut down the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum. That's the day that President Biden and President Xi of China are scheduled to meet face to face on US soil.

On Monday, thousands of allies gathered together in downtown San Francisco to march on the Moscone Center and deliver our demands. Tomorrow, we will shut down the whole summit! If you can’t make it tomorrow, sign on here for updates and a report-back later this week, & use the links below to share the news. And, as always, if you can chip in $1.98 or more to support our ongoing work, we’d be grateful.

No more corporate billionaire summits while the world burns

October invite to forward or for more context:

This November in San Francisco, the United States and 20 countries are convening the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum. There will be a CEO summit with more than 1200 corporations including the CEOs of Exxon, Chevron, Citibank, and more. And President Biden will welcome more than 20 heads of state to a summit that includes President Xi Jinping of China, Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. of the Philippines.

Officials in San Francisco have dubbed it the “Super Bowl of World Economies.” We’re calling it an orgy of corporate polluters and climate deniers. If you're in California, or can get to the Bay area November 11-18, click here to RSVP and join us in the streets.

APEC will have major impacts on the climate crisis, the global economy, human rights, worker rights, and more for decades to come. Meanwhile, as corporate CEOs and lobbyists rub elbows with President Biden and world leaders, the people have been completely shut out of these discussions.

There is a long history of mass resistance to the corporate state — from the Battle in Seattle to the anti-war shutdown of San Francisco in 2003 to Trump’s 2017 inauguration, and just last month many of us put our bodies on the line to end the era of fossil fuels in New York City.

We're following the lead of local Bay Area climate justice organizers and a huge coalition of labor, trade, student, & local community justice groups organizing saying NO to APEC’s corporate agenda. In an act of global solidarity, as part of that history of mass resistance, we will take mass direct action at the APEC Summit in San Francisco during the week of November 11-18.

But to change everything, we need everyone, including you, to join us. Click here to sign our pledge to resist APEC’s corporate agenda in November — organizers will follow up with more tools, planning calls, and details you need to get ready.

Thanks for taking action,

Drew and the 198 methods of solidarity crew
