DESCRIPTION:Direct Action vs. Climate Change! Special Event with art, speakers and 
 more!\n\nIn September 2018, there’s a battle brewing between Jerry 
 Brown’s gang of green capitalists and the people on the frontlines of the 
 climate crisis in the Bay Area.\n\nIt’s a complicated political landscape 
 evolving around the summit, and many people are preparing to take action 
 against financial institutions funding the climate crisis, carbon trading 
 policies that greenwash the crisis for corporate profit and Brown’s own 
 two-faced behaviour on oil and gas extraction in California. Others are 
 embracing Brown’s “real climate leadership” and the climate 
 neo-liberalism that he embodies.\n\nDiablo Rising Tide has written 
 “Making Green A Threat Again,” a zine to lay out our own 
 anti-capitalist climate critique of Brown’s policies and the climate 
 neo-liberal agenda. Plus it includes sections on the resistance battling 
 the political, fossil fuel and financial sectors profiting from the climate 
 crisis.\n\nJoin us for a launch party for “Making Green A Threat 
 Again.” Diablo Rising Tide’s new zine about the anti-capitalist 
 politics of the climate movements. Followed by a panel discussing mass 
 action organizing & the upcoming climate summit with Pennie Opal Plant of 
 Idle No More SF Bay & Christy Tennery-Spalding of Diablo Rising 
 Tide.\n\nPlus other fun things like drinks and snacks.\n\nWHAT: Direct 
 Action vs. Climate Change! Special Event with art, speakers and 
 more!\nWHERE: 518 Valencia. San Francisco\nWHEN: Thursday, August 2nd at 
 7pm\nCONTACT: diablorisingtide@riseup.net\n\n\nExcerpt from 
 zine:\n“We’ve known for a long time to not believe the false narrative 
 that the government and it’s bullshit liberal reform can take care of 
 this planet and the people on it. As long as there is a government, there 
 will be corporations and a wealthy elite to wield it over the rest of 
 us.\n\nThe most current version of this false narrative on climate change 
 is the political rhetoric of California Governor Jerry Brown. Over the past 
 eight years, Governor Moonbeam has continued to support Big Oil and Gas 
 operations in his state, with lenient regulation, permitting and supporting 
 oil and gas extraction, infrastructure development and refining capacity. 
 Communities in places like Kern County are devastated by these practices. 
 Other democratic legislators along the west coast have hypocritically 
 followed suit with similar policies, despite People Power continuing to 
 shut down fossil fuel export facilities in Oregon and Washington, fighting 
 Arctic drilling and challenging Wall Street financing of the oil and coal 
 sectors.\n\nDespite Brown’s “all of the above" fossil fuel policies, he 
 has set himself up as an alternative to the climate denial politics of 
 Trump by positioning himself as THE ONE AND ONLY GLOBAL CLIMATE LEADER. His 
 plans include establishing carbon markets and renewable energy markets and 
 convening a global summit on climate change. On 12 September 2018, Governor 
 Jerry Brown is convening his biggest public relations coup to date -- the 
 Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco. The summit will bring 
 together world leaders, mayors, governors, corporations, big green groups 
 and many more to address alternatives to the climate denial politics of the 
 current regime in the White House.”\n
