DESCRIPTION:On Sunday, January 18, the run-up to the historic March for Real Climate 
 Leadership begins with an Oakland forum on “Organizing at the Crossroads: 
  What Real Climate Leadership Looks Like,” one of seven forums to be held 
 throughout the state on the community impacts of the gas and oil 
 industry.\n\nCalifornia is standing at the crossroads between deadly fossil 
 fuel-dependency and the promise of an emerging social and economic renewal. 
  And only an equitable, green energy transition rooted in environmental 
 justice can take us there.\n\nCome hear an inspiring panel of real climate 
 leaders who are not afraid to face this challenge head on:  newly elected 
 Assemblyperson Tony Thurmond of AD 15 and Richmond City Councilperson 
 Eduardo Martinez;  Mary Lim Lampe of Genesis and Gamaliel; a representative 
 of the California Nurses Association;  community organizers Andrés Soto of 
 Communities for a Better Environment and Margaret Gordon of the West 
 Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, and Juan Flores of the Center on 
 Race, Poverty and the Environment.  Pennie Opal Plant offers the opening 
 invocation.  Forum MC is New Yorkers Against Fracking co-founder and 
 Californians Against Fracking organizer, David Braun.  Other speakers 
 TBA.\n\nThe evening panel discussion will showcase how everyday 
 Californians are in the fight of our lives against all aspects of the 
 fossil fuel economy including extraction, infrastructure and transport, and 
 our resistance to the industry’s assault on sustainable businesses and 
 innovation.  We’ll be exploring the intersections between our movements 
 and aligning our energies behind one common goal:  a truly clean energy 
 future where our children are not poisoned for toxic profits.\n
