January 20th marks the 2 year anniversary of President Biden’s inauguration, and the halfway point for his current administration. It also marks the birthday of an extraordinary activist and pillar of the national fossil fuel resistance movement, Joye Braun, who we sadly lost in November. Joye was instrumental in fighting and ending devastating fossil fuel projects such as Keystone XL – we are also celebrating the two year anniiversary of its death – and the Dakota Access Pipeline.
We are showing up, along with People vs. Fossil Fuel groups across the country, to demand that Biden exercise his power to Stop Fossil Fuel Projects and Declare a Climate Emergency. Our local climate fights show why. We’ve continued to see flaring at the Martinez Refinery just in this last month, health and pollution concerns from the Chevron Richmond Refinery, and countless instances of our frontline communities facing harsh impacts from poor air quality, toxic substances, and limited resources. The climate emergency is already here – we need Biden to step up and do something about it.
Join us at the SF Federal Building on Jan. 20th from 11am-1pm for a rally with speakers and art, as we demand that President Biden:
- Declare a Climate Emergency
- Stop All Fossil Fuel Projects
- Honor Indigenous & Human Rights.
