PLANET
OVER PROFIT
POP is a youth-led climate justice group building people power and using direct
action to take on the fossil fuel industry and put Planet Over Profit.
Fossil fuel companies - and the banks
and asset managers that finance them - are driving us off the cliff of climate
collapse. The wealthiest 1%, with
their dirty investments and private jets and yachts, rob us of a livable future
while ordinary people struggle to make ends meet and survive. If our so-called “leaders” won’t act on
climate, it’s on us to hold them accountable and reclaim our tomorrow. We will
take direct action against the people who are burning our world until the fire
is out. We target fossil fuel
companies, their financiers, and their allies in office. We disrupt the lives
of the super-rich 1% who are most responsible for this crisis. We organize and
mobilize to take money out of fossil fuels and put it into our communities. We
believe that only through building mass people power can we halt climate
collapse. It’s now
or never. Join us. https://www.planetoverprofit.us/
Inside Climate News (ICN) is an excellent source of current
climate-related action information. I
count 17 separate stories reported in the ICN Weekly of 12-14-24. <newsletters@insideclimatenews.org>

The
stakes are extremely high as the impact of fossil fuels on climate change goes
to The Hague for hearings December 2-13, 2024 to determine whether nations are
obligated to phase out fossil fuels. Will the esteemed court issue an opinion
that truly impacts climate change? [ Here are the sources
for this extraordinarily comprehensive article.

court’s opinion is expected in 2025.
