While we will update our network with some press mentions in the near future, we are lifting up this coverage of the fast approaching March to End Fossil Fuels. May we tell the stories, the reasons why we march, to all press across the globe; young people are counting on us.
“Climate Activists: We should prepare for things to get worse but that cannot be a recipe for apathy” We are so proud to be connected with the Star Ledger Guest Columnists Larry Hamm and Matt Smith, and urge that you share their message, especially the following:
“We have heard all the rhetoric about climate justice. We need to see action – and that starts by stopping new sources of fossil fuel pollution.”
Here’s SOMA Action with “Five Reasons Why It’s Time to March to End Fossil Fuels” published by the Village Green:
“Under the Paris Agreement, nations committed to limiting warming to 2°C, with efforts to stay under 1.5°C. We’ve already warmed 1.2°C. Current pledges put us on a dangerous 2.5°C rise by 2100. Emissions must fall over 60% this decade to meet Paris Agreement goals.”
If it wasn’t reported/recorded, it did not happen. May we capture and share the memories, stories of hope filled, love centered advocacy and activism. Photos. Videos. Journaling. We encourage you to keep your local news outlets and radio shows apprised of your coverage; everyone can be a media leader. May we continue to ever use our voices intentionally to move away from fossil fuels, protect sacred water and all Creation.
Waterspirit’s network is participating in/with the faith invocation and you may connect with us and many other hubs, including transportation from 15 locations, through registering via our calendar here. Watch this video to get excited and in the know about the day of-what to expect. Hoping to see you at the march!
