The climate crisis is escalating, but the United Nations process is failing to address the roots of the problem. Each year we are feeling more impacts of the climate crisis on our communities, cultures and ecosystems - drought, floods, displacement and the rising cost of food, water and energy. But the U.S. and other wealthy governments are refusing to take responsibility.
Farmers, Indigenous Peoples, landless people, low-income urban communities and thousands of people affected by the destruction of the environment are gathering in Cancun during the UN Climate Conference to show the world that there is another way forward. Responding to La Via Campesina’s call for a thousand Cancuns, social movements from around the world are organizing teach-ins and protests to reject false solutions and to support a people’s agenda for climate justice.
Join us for a teach-in on December 1 and a local day of climate action on December 7th. Childcare and translation provided.
For more information on this event, the Local Day of Climate Action on Dec. 7th, and Bay Localize see website linked above, or phone (510) 834-0420.
