Join a national day of action against police brutality AND international climate strike day — join Youth vs Apocalypse, Fossil Free California, Last Chance Alliance, and others to call for real climate justice in the lead-up to COP26 climate talks.

In honor of the stolen lives of Black, Indigenous, people of color to police violence and environmental racism, and the stolen futures of the youth and unborn from the climate crisis, the action will call for climate justice and real climate leadership from all levels.

DEMANDS:

--Governor Newsom must STOP new fossil fuel permits, DROP existing oil drilling, and ROLL out 2,500 ft. health and safety buffers.

--The California Democratic Party must vote NO to accepting money from fossil fuel companies and law enforcement.

--CalSTRS, the teachers’ pension fund, must divest $6 billion from fossil fuel companies.
