he People Vs. Wells Fargo Action @ Wells Fargo HQ
Apr 24 @ 7:00 pm – 12:00 pm

At the end of April, three of the world’s largest funders of fossil fuels will hold their Annual General Meetings: Wells Fargo, Citibank, and Bank of America. These three banks alone have loaned more than $789 billion to coal, oil, and gas companies since the Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015.

With allies across the country – we are going to shut down, occupy, and disrupt business at the global headquarters of all three banks the day before their annual shareholder meetings. their most important meetings of the year. Citi’s HQ in New York, Bank of America’s HQ in Charlotte, and Wells Fargo’s HQ in San Francisco will each be subject to massive, disruptive and impossible-to-ignore protests.
Yes, it’s an early wake-up call, but we would love your support in downtown San Francisco as we disrupt the business as usual that is killing the planet.

On World Press Freedom Day: A Day Of Action To Free Assange/ Mumia & Against Censorship @ KQED Television
May 3 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
May 3 is the annual World Press Freedom Day. Throughout the world journalist are being
targeted, tortured and murdered and there is growing censorship by governments &
corporate media. In the United States, the two most world known journalists are Julian
Assange who was also publisher of Wiki-leaks and Mumia Abu-Jamal. Julian Assange
is member of the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance in Australia and has been imprisoned
in the UK for “espionage” and Mumia was a member of CWA NABET and working as a journalist
on Philadelphia’s NPR (National Public Radio) radio station, WUHY-FM, (now WHYY) in Philadelphia and was
president of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists. The SEIU in 2000,
ILWU Local 10 and CWA PMWG have also called for his freedom.
NPR was also broadcasting commentaries from Mumia but his
commentaries were removed after pressure from the police.
Many of the largest papers around the world including the Washington Post,
The Guardian and New York Times have demanded the dropping of the charges
& freedom of Julian Assange yet they are silent about case of Mumia Abu-Jamal.
These cases are absolutely connected and we call on KQED, NPR, PBS and all
major media in the US to support the freeom of both Julian Assange
and Mumia Abu-Jamal.
The UK’s National Union of Journalists has stated that the “US charges
against Assange pose a huge threat, one that could criminalize the
critical work of investigative journalists & their ability to protect their
sources.”
There will also be actions in the US and around the world. We will also have
reports on the fight against censorship here and from around the world and
struggles of journalists globally for their rights and freedoms.

Sacramento: It’s a Climate Emergency, Act Like It! Protest at Capitol @ California State Capitol - West Steps
Jun 10 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

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!

Local organizations: Sacramento Climate Coalition, 350 Sacramento,
Fridays For Future Sacramento

Host Contact Info: info [at] sacclimate.org

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!

AVENGE BANKO! Defend Trans Lives! @ The Bell
Jun 23 @ 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm

 

sm_img_8325.jpg

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!

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/
