John,

Today across the United States and the world, millions of people -- young and old -- are going on strike for climate action, and DFA stands in solidarity as a partner of the Climate Strike.

In three days, world leaders will convene in New York City for the UN Climate Summit: an opportunity for us to get their attention and demand the bold, rapid action we need to stop the very worst impacts of climate change.

Take a stand and strike with us today: find a Climate Strike event near you NOW!

This massive, international coalition of organizations and activists is first and foremost being led by our nation’s youth, and they have demands for those in power:

• Pass the Green New Deal to transform the U.S. into a 100% renewable energy economy;
• Respect indigenous land sovereignty by honoring treaties and recognizing the Rights of Nature;
• Fight for environmental justice by welcoming, investing in, and assisting those disproportionately displaced and harmed by the climate crisis;
• Protect and restore 50% of the world’s lands and oceans, and put a halt to all deforestation by 2030;
• Implement sustainable agriculture by investing in farmers and regenerative practices, and ending subsidies to big industrial agriculture.

Only by taking these ideas and turning them into action can we create a world that works for all of us and stop the worst case scenario of climate catastrophe.

Let’s make these demands heard in the streets of cities across the globe: find and attend a Climate Strike event in your community today.

In solidarity,

-Charles
