The future is literally in our hands. Left unchecked, the global financial elite blinded by greed will take full control. The people must organize and put forward real solutions while preventing big business interests from taking advantage of and worsening the climate crisis. Popular Resistance is supporting the New York City march and will form a contingent marching with the global climate convergence (join us, here).
And, we have been working with other groups to develop the Global Climate Convergence which puts people, planet and peace over profit. The objective of the Convergence is to build and strengthen a movement that addresses the root causes of the climate crises; a social-economic system that values profits over destruction of the ecology of the planet. As the corporate captured UN proposes false solutions like carbon trading and sets meager greenhouse reduction targets, we will show the world what tackling global warming from the bottom up looks like. To get more information on this event see here.
At the Copenhagen climate conference in December 2009, the people marched under a massive banner that read:
Another World Is Possible
Another World Is Coming
Another World Is Reality
The truth of that banner can be made real as together we write the future history of humankind. We do not underestimate the forces aligned against the transformation that is a necessity, but nor do we underestimate the power of a mobilized people in times of crisis. This September is another step in the march to a new reality.
Join us at the People's Climate March New York City this September.
