Friend,
It was a beautiful and inspiring sight to behold.
Today, climate campaigners from across the U.S. joined forces under a
collective banner in Washington, D.C., to tell leaders of the most
powerful nation on Earth that inaction, empty rhetoric, and false
solutions to the planetary emergency will no longer be tolerated.
Outside the White House, they raised their voices as well as their
fists, and ultimately put their bodies on the line because they
know—just as you know—that elected leaders worldwide continue to bury
their heads in the sand when it comes to soaring temperatures, melting
Arctic ice, and our warming oceans.
The demonstration was led by youth, but this multi-generational movement
includes children, young students, working adults, and retirees—all of
whom share the wisdom that too few of our elected leaders possess.
What these demonstrators understand is what Common Dreams also
understands: that we are all in this together and that only bold
action—matched by an uncompromising vision for a better future—will
deliver the transformative change that science says is necessary.
So that is our top story today—and, honestly, it might be our top story
tomorrow, too. And that's only possible because Common Dreams is a media
outlet that has never taken a nickel from the fossil fuel industry, and
we know there is no "both sides" to the destruction of sustainable life
on Earth.
If you care about this planet and believe in the importance of fearless,
independent media—please support Common Dreams today. We need you
because we all need each other.
