GUTERRES, CLIMATE ACTION NOW

AWARENESS EXPANDING

NEW WEEKLY ON CLIMATE FROM THE NEW REPUBLIC (TNR) looks helpful.
“A weekly reckoning with life in a warming world—and the fight to save it.”

And so does Citizen’s Climate Lobby’s (CCL) Weekly:    https://www2.citizensclimatelobby.org/acton/ct/17897/s-13a0-2207/Bct/l-sf-rpt-00O8X000008UI7j-4bea/l-sf-rpt-00O8X000008UI7j-4bea:69a1/ct1_0/1/lu?sid=TV2%3AREASvTtI8

 

BUILDING COALITIONS TO DEFEND THE EARTH

TEJAL MANKADALEC CONNON.   “Peoples' Earth Week: Climate Justice Arts and Action.”   Common Dreams (March 14, 2023). 
What better way to reclaim the radical roots of Earth Day than by simultaneously making the world a more beautiful place.  [EARTH DAY IS APRIL 22.]  In this country, there are two centers of power large enough to make a real difference in the global climate fight: the federal government and the financial industry. That’s why our coalitions are focused on these two arenas of contestation. People vs Fossil Fuels is a coalition of more than 1,200 organizations demanding President Biden end fossil fuel expansion. Stop the Money Pipeline is a network of more than 240 groups dedicated to ending Wall Street’s financing of the fossil fuel industry.

Now, for the first time, our coalitions are coming together for a shared project: Peoples’ Earth Week - Climate Justice Arts & Action.

 

 

INTERNATIONAL STRATEGIES FOR SURVIVAL

Climate Crisis Articles from Monthly Review July-August 2022 (Volume 74, Number 3).  July 5.   https://monthlyreview.org/2022/07/01/mr-074-03-2022-07/

Christina Ergas .   “Surviving Collapse Through Social Transformation and Regeneration.”  As the effects of the climate crisis become ever-more deeply felt worldwide, our vision of the future must be grounded in radical imaginaries of the world to come, based on the experiences of those who suffer most under the current system of exploitation and violence.

John Bellamy Foster.  “Ecology and the Future of History.”  
Contradicting previous l notions of an “end of history,” humanity is now facing unprecedented threats to our species’ survival, but an environmental proletariat to combat them is emerging.
