DESCRIPTION:PEOPLE'S CLIMATE MOVEMENT 2018: \nWorldwide Day of Action for Climate, 
 Jobs, & Justice\n\nRise for Climate, Jobs and Justice on September 8th and 
 pledge to vote in November 2018\n\nDay of Action: Sept. 8, 2018\n\nWhere: 
 San Francisco, California, USA, & Worldwide\n\nOn SEPTEMBER 8TH, after 
 months of organizing and movement-building, the Peoples Climate Movement 
 will bring tens of thousands of people across the country into the streets, 
 town halls, and community forums. Joined by partners around the world, we 
 will demand bold action on climate, jobs, and justice. Those demands will 
 determine the future of our movement - and our world - for years to 
 come.\n\nThe international Global Climate Action Summit (hosted/org. by CA 
 Gov. Jerry Brown) is being held in September 2018 in San Francisco, 
 California.  Using the Summit as both an organizing and mobilizing 
 motivator, state and local-level efforts will capitalize on its momentum 
 and energy to deepen their meaningful engagement with local climate 
 action.\n\nPeople Climate Movement’s participation in and around the 
 Global Climate Action Summit will communicate to global leaders and the 
 rest of the world that there is a strong climate movement in this country; 
 lift up PCM’s message in the national dialogue; and help to center our 
 State Collaboration Work.\n\nOUR VISION\n\nPeople's Climate Movement 
 envisions a world where our private and public leaders prioritize the 
 protection of our planet; where solutions to remedy climate change are 
 equitable, lift up those that are most impacted, and are rooted in racial 
 and economic justice; and where facts win out over fiction and there is 
 universal agreement about the impacts of climate change on the earth and 
 all of its inhabitants.\n\nWe envision a world where a just transition to a 
 clean and renewable energy economy creates millions of new, good jobs that 
 can be unionized, provide family-sustaining wages, and foster professional 
 and personal satisfaction; where returns on new energy investments go to 
 those who have for decades been hardest hit and/or left behind; and where 
 race, gender, income, and sexual identity don’t impact access to clean 
 air and water.\n\nWe envision a world where job creation benefits everyone 
 – especially displaced and workers of color; where people of all economic 
 backgrounds can live in communities free from degradation; and where 
 respect for the earth is mirrored in the respect we have for each 
 other.\n\nOUR PLATFORM\n\nThe Peoples Climate Movement is calling for a 
 transition to a New Energy and Economic Future. We are a national network 
 of environmental, labor, economic justice, climate justice, faith, youth, 
 and community organizations working together to build a larger, stronger, 
 and more powerful social movement that can address not just climate change, 
 but racial, environmental, and economic inequity. The Peoples Climate 
 Movement brings together people and organizations to support and build a 
 powerful grassroots movement rooted in racial and economic justice that can 
 catalyze a New Energy and Economic Future. \n\nEvery day, increasingly 
 frequent crises and natural disasters illustrate a catastrophic global 
 environmental imbalance. Hurricanes, wildfires, and mudslides echo an 
 ongoing political shift away from an empowered populace and toward a 
 power-grabbing corporate oligarchy.\n\nWe believe that a just transition to 
 a New Energy and Economic Future must, and will, rebuild, renew, and 
 restore the balance between people, the environment, and our economy. That 
 balance will only be achieved when we prioritize the well-being of people 
 over profit, protect and strengthen front-line communities, mandate racial 
 and cultural equity for those too often left out or left behind, and invest 
 in institutions that strengthen and enhance the common good of all people 
 while combating the crisis of climate change. \n\nTo achieve a just 
 transition to a New Energy and Economic Future, the Peoples Climate 
 Movement is calling on our existing partners as well as other progressive, 
 democratic organizations and leaders in government, the private sector, 
 civil society, and academia to pursue the following strategies:\n\n100% 
 Clean and Renewable Future \n\nWe must drastically and rapidly cut 
 emissions that cause the climate crisis by investing in a 100% clean energy 
 economy that will create millions of new jobs to rebuild and transform 
 energy infrastructure, strengthen and expand mass transit systems, bolster 
 manufacturing, improve energy efficiency in building stock, and transition 
 to electric vehicles.\n\nEconomic Opportunity for Everyone\n\nClimate 
 action must lift up people of color, workers, and poor communities. 
 Everyone, particularly those communities hardest hit by natural and 
 economic disasters, should have the opportunity to benefit from the 
 billions of public and private investments being made, not just the 1%.  
 Everyone should have equal access, opportunity, and support to get a good 
 job.\n\nPrioritizing a Just Resilience, Relief and Recovery\n\nResponding 
 to climate crises and natural disasters requires thoughtful and 
 compassionate planning well before an event occurs. We believe in a 
 community-centered, just approach to resilience that prioritizes connecting 
 relief and recovery – like access to healthcare, community investments, 
 housing, and job training and placement – to the most vulnerable and 
 often hardest hit, including people of color, low-income people, and 
 frontline communities.\n\nUnion Wages that Support a Family\n\nEvery new 
 job created to address the climate crisis must be unionized or have the 
 right to unionize without interference and pay a family-sustaining wage. 
 Jobs created should be targeted to low-income and unemployed people, 
 displaced workers, and people of color.\n\nPollution-Free Communities and 
 Workplaces\n\nThe causes of climate change not only warm our planet but 
 harm communities across the country. As we transition, we must fight to 
 make sure that every person has clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, 
 and can live in a community and workplace free from environmental 
 degradation.\n\nProtection of Workers\n\nA just transition must ensure that 
 workers, families, and their communities, which have been the backbone of 
 the US economy for more than a century, are protected and cared for if job 
 losses occurs. This involves full support for wages and benefits for each 
 worker, as well as significant investment for communities that rely on 
 facilities for a tax base.\n\nFIND AN EVENT: Use the link below to find an
