Bay Area folks! Thanks for showing up with so much energy last week at the #RiseForClimate march and at #GCAS2018. But there's more work to be done—we've got two events coming up this week to help stop the expansion of the Phillips 66 refinery in Rodeo:
First, this Thursday, Sept 20th join @IdleNoMoreSFBay and Stand for a discussion with indigenous activists and industry experts about how resistance to oil pipelines, oil tankers, and refinery expansions connect frontline communities in Canada and the US: facebook.com/events/2638165…
Then, on Saturday, Sept 22nd, @IdleNoMoreSFBay and Stand are hosting a prayer and teach-in front of the P66 refinery in Rodeo. Our message? We want clean air, water, soil—and that means rejecting the proposed to P66 refinery expansion. Stand with us! stand.earth/action/phillip…
We hope to see you there!

@RBC .@RBC 's 9.22 Billion in fossil fuel investments since Oct 2021 would cover 25% of disaster relief costs in Pakistan, as millions recover from devastating flooding.
Instead of investing in climate devastation & displacement, RBC could support communities impacted by fossil fuels.

.@AmyG_Standearth kicks-off grounding us in how @TotalEnergies' EACOP risks harming the lives & livelihoods of millions.
"This is not just a climate issue. This is a climate justice issue." 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
While @TotalEnergies & those attempting to push through EACOP claim it will benefit local communities, a majority of the fossil oil of the world's largest proposed pipeline would be for export.😡
In his ruling, Justice Thompson says “methods of enforcement of the court's order have led to serious and substantial infringement of civil liberties, including impairment of the freedom of the press to a marked degree” #FairyCreek
Of forest defenders, the Justice says: “They are respectful, intelligent, and peaceable by nature. They are good citizens in the important sense that they care intensely about the common good” 👏💯 #FairyCreekbccourts.ca/jdb-txt/sc/21/…
Ever heard that Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a climate-friendly fuel? Well, you’ve been sold a lie. LNG, made up of methane, is one of the fastest growing threats to our climate. RT to expose the truth about #LNG. #bcpoli#cdnpoli
Didn't think we'd need to say this, but the responses we're getting on this tweet really prove our point: the fossil fuel industry has done a great job convincing the public that "natural gas" is good. It's not. Read more here: vox.com/energy-and-env…
In B.C., methane emissions amounted to an estimated 8.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2017, according to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. That’s equal to 1,724,724 vehicles on the road for one year. Read more: thenarwhal.ca/climate-change…
