A dig, burn & dump economy based on extracting natural & human resources faster than we can regenerate will eventually come to an end — either through collapse or through our intentional re-organization. Transition is inevitable. Justice is not.❤️‍🔥

#ResistAndBuild #JustTransition
How can we resist false climate solutions and ensure a Just Transition that restores our communities and the web of life?

#JustTransitionNow #ClimateJustice #CommunityControl #CommunitySelfDetermination
Frontline communities & workers are impacted first and worst by the interlinked crises of climate change and the extractive economy.
“Just Transition is a principle, a process and a practice.”

How do we resist extraction and desecration of sacred sites while permanently returning land & sovereignty to Indigenous peoples?

🗣 Get your radical imagination going at: bit.ly/resistandbuild 🔥🌱🛠

#ResistAndBuild #LandBack @CJAOurPower @MoveGen @NewEconomics (1/10) Image
The U.S. was built on stolen land by stolen lives and labor. Returning land and sovereignty to Indigenous peoples is a requisite to building economies rooted in a just relationship with each other and the earth. (2/10) Image
We acknowledge that struggles for collective determination and sovereignty over Indigenous lands are as diverse as the hundreds of Indigenous nations across Turtle Island. (3/10) Image

"In America, community land trusts have always been rooted in racial equity. Black sharecroppers in the rural South pioneered the model to protect their families from eviction by white owners during the civil rights movement." — Tony Pickett, Grounded Solutions Network. (3/10) Image

How can we build community-controlled health infrastructure that is safe, free and accessible to all? 🏥 🗣 Get your radical imagination going at: bit.ly/resistandbuild 🔥🌱🛠

#ResistAndBuild #HealthJustice @CJAOurPower @MoveGen @NewEconomics Image
COVID-19 has made it clearer than ever that the current health care infrastructure is racist, classist, ableist, and criminally inadequate. Frontline communities have a longstanding history of resisting this system by building community-controlled alternatives in its place. ImageImageImageImage
(3/4) Alternatives where frontline, BIPOC communities receive the quality care they need. Alternatives where disabled, chronically ill, and immuno-compromised folks are not disposable, but whose lives are centered and held sacred. ImageImageImageImage

It’s time to abandon the dirty, dangerous myth of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS):
💥Stop subsidizing CCS.
💥Stop permitting CCS.
💥Stop using CCS to justify climate inaction.

And don’t pretend you’re a climate leader if CCS is part of your climate plan.
climatejusticealliance.org/cja-calls-to-e…
On behalf of our millions of members and supporters across the US & Canada, we call on policymakers to recognize that carbon capture and storage (CCS) is NOT a climate solution. It is a dangerous distraction driven by the same big polluters who created the #ClimateEmergency.
CCS is unnecessary. Renewable energy sources like solar and wind are cheaper and cleaner than fossil fuels. CCS just makes dirty energy more expensive and more energy-intensive.

(1/14) “We are seeing that no one else is going to fight for youth of color like youth of color. We don't need people to speak on behalf of us when we can speak for ourselves”.
(2/14) Meet Nyiesha Mallet, a youth activist at @UPROSE in Brooklyn, NY, Brooklyn's oldest Latino community based organization whose mission is based in climate and community justice for Black and Brown folks.
(3/14) Introduced to @UPROSE at the age of 14, Nyiesha found herself in the midst of a #ClimateJustice boom that was in full swing.
