LIMATE EMERGENCY PROTEST
Weather whiplash, increasing greenhouse gases, and rising temperatures – the evidence is clear. Our government needs to act. Tell the President and other leaders to take strong action now to bring an end to the climate crisis.
It’s time for an end to the fossil fuel era!

This event is part of the People vs. Fossil Fuels Coalition nationwide day of action.
We are taking action to ask Biden to END THE ERA OF FOSSIL FUELS!
Biden promised to be a climate president – yet under his watch, the U.S. continues to be the biggest producer of oil and gas in the world. Frontline communities & global scientists have been abundantly clear – we cannot avoid the very worst impacts of the climate crisis if we allow for any more fossil development.
This year, we have a key opportunity to demand Biden take bold action to stop fossil fuels — by leveraging pressure on a global stage. In September, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is hosting a global Climate Ambition Summit where the “ticket to entry” is tangible action to keep fossil fuels – the core driver of the climate emergency – in the ground.
Starting this June, we’re mobilizing to turn up the pressure to make Biden end the era of fossil fuels — and we need YOU to join us!
We refuse to let the memory of our friend and neighbor Banko Brown fade away. The injustice of their death at the hands of private security still hovers over the city. Meanwhile, the core causes of this tragedy have yet to be addressed.
In recent weeks, fellow comrades have taken direct action across the city, declaring war on the capitalist police state that fuels violence against the poor, vulnerable and unhoused all over the Bay.
Mayor London Breed deserves to feel the displeasure and agitation of the masses in the face of this violence. So does DA Brooke Jenkins. So does every pig, corporate executive and privileged person who judges from their home, claiming that “theft” and “drugs” are destroying SF.
Ironic, considering the only thing destroying SF is the callous hand of capitalist liberalism, propped up by people who defend a wage-stealing corporate retailer over the needs of struggling people.
We refuse to march down this path toward oblivion, paved with the blood of Banko and so many other working-class people who have been oppressed by police and security forces across the city.
Instead, JOIN US on FRIDAY, JUNE 23rd as we raise our fists and voices for a revolution in thought and action.
We can do better. We MUST do better. AVENGE BANKO! DEFEND TRANS LIVES!
Join Oil and Gas Action Network for an electrifying block party/action against Wells Fargo, one of the top four US banks funding the climate crisis.
Before Wells Fargo releases their quarterly earnings report, we’ll party in a high-energy day with talented musicians, dancers, street theater, and more. Dance, sing, and help harness the power of community to escalate resistance to profit-driven climate destruction.

FROM FRIDAYS FOR FUTURE WEBSITE: SEPT 15th GLOBAL CLIMATE STRIKE
https://fridaysforfuture.org/september15/
We must end the Era of Fossil Fuels. Scientists have warned us of the dire consequences of fossil fuel dependency for many years, and affected communities have testified to their disastrous impacts. Yet they have been brushed aside. Our wealthiest nations’ leaders have failed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the most privileged 1% continue to live in excess while the most vulnerable remain on the frontlines of a crisis they did not create. Already marginalized and disadvantaged communities face the worst impacts while their resilience is stretched.
The Global Climate Strike is part of the truly global effort to End The Era of Fossil Fuels. This is a call to action from Indigenous and First Nations, youth activists, civil society organisations, social movements, feminist and migrant rights groups, trade unions, faith institutions, academic centres, health institutions, people of all genders and backgrounds, everywhere.
The fossil fuel industry is content with sacrificing life on earth to rake in an annual profit. It is past time for world leaders to take a clear stand and address the climate crisis. We are organizing to put people over profit and demand action for communities everywhere.
WE DEMAND:
–An end to Fossil Finance, divesting from new and current fossil fuel projects.
–A rapid, just, and equitable phase-out of all fossil fuels, ensuring that the burdens and benefits are re-distributed fairly among different stakeholders, with particular attention to historically marginalized and vulnerable communities.
–Massive investments in community owned renewable energy projects.
–Reparations for the harms caused to communities affected by the climate crisis and its structural causes, as well as enforcement of the Loss and Damage Fund, with special emphasis of historical polluters paying into the Fun
The Sept. 15th Global Climate Strike (https://fridaysforfuture.org/september15/) is part of the worldwide weekend of climate action to protest the climate emergency ahead of the UN Climate Summit 2023, with the main March to End Fossil Fuels NYC and more global protest actions happening on Sept 17th: https://www.endfossilfuels.us/
If you’re in the Bay Area, you can secure a spot in our charter bus, which will be leaving from the Ashby BART station at 8:30 AM, taking you to and from the action!
The United Nations is calling on world leaders to take real steps to lead us off fossil fuels to protect people and the planet. On September 20th in New York, the UN Climate Ambition Summit will gather world leaders to commit to phasing out fossil fuels.
The “ticket to entry” will be tangible action to keep fossil fuels in the ground— in the form of policies, and not just empty declarations.
Before the summit, thousands will take to the streets in New York and around the country—including Sacramento—demanding that Biden take bold action to end fossil fuels. (Biden promised to end drilling on federal lands, yet he has approved more fossil fuel projects than Trump.)
The March to End Fossil Fuels is being organized by a coalition of local and national organizations led by the Center for Biological Diversity, Center for Popular Democracy, Climate Organizing Hub, Food & Water Watch, Fridays For Future USA & NYC, Earthworks, Greenfaith, Indigenous Environmental Network, New York Communities for Change, Oil Change International, and Oil & Gas Action Network.
In California, we’ll gather in Sacramento to demand that our leaders, Biden and Newsom, stop permitting fossil fuels and make a plan to phase out oil and gas. This family-friendly action will feature a giant puppet show, carnival games, performers and speakers who will share how you can get involved in ending the era of Fossil Fuels and building a better future together.

Members of our city council are pretending to do something about crime by proposing more of the same destructive policing approach that has never kept us safe instead of investing in our communities.
There’s always more money for cops. Only for cops, not for schools or jobs or healthcare or parks or libraries — not for any of the things that actually make healthy and safe communities.

WHAT: Give Public Comment at Oakland City Council Meeting
WHEN: Tuesday, September 19 at 2pm
WHERE: Online or in person at Oakland City Hall
| Get Talking Points |
| Join Via Zoom |
First — to approve two resolutions restoring funds to the Department of Violence Prevention to ensure that the community based organizations interrupting violence across Oakland have the resources they need to do their work. After cuts were made in this June’s budget, the council has seen that disinvestment in violence prevention has negatively impacted our ability to stop the violence in our streets.
Let’s make sure they do the right thing and restore funds to the Department of Violence Prevention immediately!
Second — we need to demand that our city council takes a rational look at public safety. Proposals by Dan Kalb and Kevin Jenkins take a one-sided look, falsely assuming that lateral academies, foot patrols, automated license plate readers (ALPRs), high-speed chases, and increased investment in the failing Ceasefire program are what is needed to keep us safe.
We need to demand that they stop with the empty rhetoric and instead support data-driven approaches to public safety!
With so much at stake, your voice is needed! Please join us to demand that community ambassadors, increased investment in MACRO, and restoring much needed funds to our violence prevention efforts are truly what is needed.
The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) is again seeking approval to increase ACSO’s stockpile of military equipment beyond what Sheriff Ahern had previously included in ACSO’s military equipment inventory.
On Thursday, the Board of Supervisors Public Protection Committee considers the sheriff’s proposal to acquire additional drones, ‘flashbang’ grenades, and ‘scattershot’ grenades and munitions.
“Scattershot” munitions are indiscriminately fired “less lethal” munitions that cannot be aimed because they are designed to spray or scatter projectiles. The sheriff wants to acquire more than 500 more of them, for an arsenal of over 1,000.
Such weapons are illegal to use by law enforcement for crowd control situations in California. They’ve been used against protesters in Oakland. Of course, these weapons are also very dangerous to use inside Santa Rita Jail. Testimony from prisoners in Santa Rita reveals that scattershot munitions – known inside as “bumblebees” – have been fired at mentally ill prisoners.
In June, Supervisor Elisa Marquez called on the sheriff to report on the sheriff’s use of munitions and chemical agents such as pepper spray over the last two years.
But given how dangerous and indiscriminate these weapons are, why should the sheriff possess them at all – much less acquire more? Amnesty International and Physicians for Human Rights have called for banning their use by law enforcement.
You can read more about how to craft your public comment, and more details about the sheriff’s proposal, here:

Please join us on Thursday, September 28 at 10am – in person or via zoom – at the Board of Supervisors Public Protection Meeting and call on the Supervisors to BAN scattershot munitions and grenades.
