In Case You Missed It

COP 25: Chile's government announced Wednesday that they’d suspend the
25th UN Climate Talks, which were set to start in Santiago on 2 December.
Weeks of large, historic protests against rising inequality spurred the
decision. 350.org is standing for the safety, equality, and freedom of
speech of all Chileans, and called for re-scheduled climate talks that
represent people, not polluters.

The UN just confirmed that COP 25 will move to Madrid, Spain on the same
date. [ [link removed] ]Sign the petition demanding a people’s climate summit without

State of emergency: Well over 300,000 people have been forced to evacuate
their homes and nearly 1 million lost power in California this week due to
wildfires raging across the state. More destructive fires and a longer
fire season are the new normal California, making serious action plans to
address the climate crisis more urgent than ever. It makes the [ [link removed] ]Trump
administration’s move to start pulling the US out of the Paris Agreement
this coming Monday even more appalling. [ [link removed] ]Read more.

No more coal: Earlier today, as the Mekong-Japan summit of Asian
governments kicked off in Bangkok, Thailand, activists delivered a
petition demanding Japanese banks stop funding coal. They’re demanding
major banks desist financing from Vung Ang 2 coal-fired power station in
Central Vietnam.

On behalf of Indigenous communities -- the first affected by oil
companies’ digging and burning of fossil fuels -- he aims to banish the

the world. [ [link removed] ]Read more

I am not alone.”

Vic Barret is a 20 year-old Garifuna American climate activist from New
York, and one of 21 plaintiffs suing the U.S. government on climate. In
“Ancestral Resistance”, they talk about how identity impacts their
activism, and show how communities bearing the worst impacts of climate
crisis are also the most powerful advocates for change. [ [link removed] ]Watch the 3-min
