Urgent Action required RIGHT NOW to prevent another pipeline in NYC!


URGENT: Tell Obama to Veto HR2606

rockaway-map-sm
HR 2606 is on the President's desk now. This precedent-setting bill, The "New York City Natural Gas Supply Enhancement Act," would allow a gas pipeline into a national park, one that was just devastated by Hurricane Sandy. If signed into law, the rubberstamping FERC process will proceed. We have one last chance to stop this bill--ask Obama to veto it. Background on this pipeline and why it must not be built, here. Please post this urgent request to all your lists.

Join us! 1pm, Saturday N17: Global Action Against Fossil Fuels; Earth Eviction Defense



  • New York Public Library, 476 5th Avenue, Manhattan
  • People of the World: Rise up for Climate Justice!
    Call for mass direct action

    A Renewed Sense of Urgency for the Autumn of Unity

    LOCAL ACTION / NEW YORK CITY - Join hundreds of New Yorkers from upstate and downstate as they converge on the steps of the NY Public Library on 42nd st and then march to Times Square as part of a global week of action protesting the social, environmental and climatic devastation of the fossil fuel industry, in solidarity with actions by Green Umbrella, Tar Sands Blockade, Push Europe Climate Justice, Occupy Melbourne, 350.org, and many grassroots organizations all over the planet. The group will march to key locations that include bank headquarters and media centers, all of whom are either actively responsible for climate change or are complicit in spreading climate disinformation. More than just a march, this gathering will perform a whole range of informative and eye-catching spectacles including everything from eating a giant mountain-shaped cake to staging a news report in a public fountain to mining for coal in the decorative gardens of New York’s financial centers. If you are in New York City, please join us!

    GLOBAL CONTEXT - Sandy has brought death and destruction to the US Northeast this fall. Drought covered much of America's Midwest this summer. A recent report predicts that, by 2030, 100 million people will perish as a result of the greenhouse gases that corporations emit and Wall Street bankrolls. In America, the silence regarding climate change from our media and politicians, even as nature screams, is deafening. While here in New York we struggle to rebuild in the wake of Sandy, a resistance against corporate induced global warming is needed now more than ever.

    Join us on November 17th in an International Earth Eviction Defense to prevent the 1% from foreclosing on the planet. The Earth Eviction Defense will be occurring ahead of UN climate talks in Doha this November. As the Kyoto Protocol expires this year, what happens at this gathering will have a long lasting impact on the future of the earth. It is not a positive sign that world leaders have chosen to gather in the capital of an oil dictatorship to discuss the impact of fossil fuels on our atmosphere. We in New York have seen what climate change looks like; police guarding gas stations as fuel grows thin, furniture upside down along rubble strewn streets, eighty-year-olds trapped in the cold, dark, twentieth floor of housing projects. Sadly, much of the world is already familiar with these scenarios; the products of savage inequality and a reckless abhorrence of nature.

    We have a different vision.

    Our struggle is global. Now is the time for a mass mobilization of direct action. We call on comrades and allies around the globe to target local sites of dirty power with sit-ins, blockades, pickets, flash mobs, occupations and other forms of nonviolent direct action.
    Choose a new target or link an existing campaign to this larger movement.

    Together we can build a world based on truly renewable energy sources, a world in which health, biodiversity and labor are respected and protected.
    System Change, Not Climate Change!

    When: 1 PM Saturday, November 17, 2012
    Where: New York Public Library, 476 5th Avenue, Manhattan
