 94103\n\nGLOBAL CLIMATE STRIKE WEEK OF 
 ACTION!\n\nhttp://youthvsapocalypse.org/september-week-of-action/\n\nYouth 
 Vs. Apocalypse is calling for youth-led actions for climate justice in 
 response to the worldwide call for a climate week of action September 
 20-27, 2019 with our planet in a state of climate emergency.  Global Youth 
 Climate Strikes--youth and climate change allies--will be happening on 
 September 20th, kicking off a week of climate emergency actions. The 
 worldwide General Strikes are happening on September 27th.\n\nSAN FRANCISCO 
 YOUTH CLIMATE STRIKE\n\nOn September 20th, we call for a youth-led climate 
 strike march, going to different targets that are contributing to climate 
 breakdown, leaving our mark to let these places know what we are fighting 
 for. We will again start at the office of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi 
 and will connect targets in government, finance, and energy. For those that 
 can’t join in person, we will be asking people to post on social media 
 and tag our targets.\n\nDEMANDS:\n\n1.WE DEMAND A SAFE, HEALTHY AND JUST 
 PLANET.\nThis climate crisis threatens our ability to live. If climate 
 change continues on this course, we won’t be able to eat, breathe, or 
 have safe shelter. In order to successfully fight the climate crisis we are 
 facing, we must also fight the systems of white supremacy, racism, greed, 
 and exploitation that have led us to it. Fighting for climate justice means 
 fighting for a world that is safe, healthy, and just for all of its 
 inhabitants. We must enact climate emergency plans at the local, national, 
 and international level.\n\n2. WE DEMAND JUSTICE AND ASYLUM FOR PEOPLE 
 DIAPLACED BY CLIMATE CHANGE.\nIndividuals and families displaced by climate 
 change seek asylum in a safe place because they have nowhere else to go. 
 Climate justice means abolishing ICE, closing concentration camps at the 
 border, ending family separation, and creating inclusive new laws and 
 regulations that treat everyone as human. \n\n3. WE DEMAND POLICY BASED ON 
 SCIENCE.\nWe have eleven years before the effects of the climate emergency 
 are irreversible. We can’t afford to compromise with climate change 
 deniers. We must enact immediate legislation based on scientific analysis 
 of carbon emissions and the ways that climate disasters impact certain 
 communities. Science clearly shows that global temperatures are rising 
 dangerously, and that we are on track to face unprecedented climate 
 disasters. We demand a Green New Deal, a resolution that lays out a 
 science-based plan to reach negative carbon emissions by 2030.\n\n4. WE 
 DEMAND THAT PEOPLE, NOT CORPORATIONS, INFLUENCE POLICY.\nRepresentation and 
 transparency are vital for successful democracies; corporate money must be 
 taken out of politics. We demand all politicians sign the “No Fossil Fuel 
 Money Pledge.” We demand Citizens United must be overturned and super 
 PAC’s be abolished. Corporate funding and donations from millionaires and 
 billionaires must be replaced with public funding of elections in addition 
 to small-dollar donations. To ensure that every vote counts, we must 
 restore the Voting Rights Act, secure automatic registration for every 
 citizen above 18, and re-enfranchise those convicted of felonies.\n\n5. WE 
 DEMAND EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL.\nThe government must be for the people, by the 
 people; all policies and decisions made must be for the benefit of all. 
 Black and trans lives matter; the Equality Act must be passed. The rights 
 of Brown, Black, and Middle Eastern migrants must be respected. Women 
 deserve full reproductive justice, and equity in the workplace. We demand 
 universal background checks and Medicare for All in order to ensure a safe 
 and secure environment for everyone. We demand diversity and 
 representation, and intersectionality must fuel the climate justice 
 movement. Frontline communities must have a voice and leadership role, and 
 we look to indigenous communities to lead the transition to a just and 
 sustainable world.\n\n6. WE DEMAND THAT HUMANS PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF 
 NATURE.\nJust as humans have rights, nature has rights. Humans have a moral 
 obligation to respect and protect plants, animals, and ecosystems. We 
 demand that the rights of nature be legally represented. This includes 
 legislation to provide sanctuary for endangered species, regulate hunting, 
 and end deforestation, pollution, destructive fuel extraction, fracking, 
 factory farming, and unsustainable agriculture. All life is interconnected, 
 and we must live in harmony with the Earth. \n\n7. WE DEMAND A JUST 
 TRANSITION\nCountries and individuals that have contributed the most to 
 climate change must be held accountable.  We demand urgent climate action, 
 including the GND, that protects vulnerable communities and create economic 
 justice. Policies must respect workers’ rights ’to living wages and 
 health care, young people’s rights to free, relevant education, and 
 everyone’s right to affordable housing. To quote Movement 
 Generation:\n\nTransition is inevitable. Justice is not. A just transition 
 is the process of getting from where we are to where we need to be by 
 transforming the systems of economy and governance.\n\nA just transition 
 requires moving from a globalized capitalist industrial economy to linked 
 local living participatory economies that provide well-being for 
 all.\n\nHost: Youth v. Apocalypse (350.org Bay Area’s youth-led 
 program)\nWe are diverse group of young climate justice activists working 
 together to lift the voices of youth, in particular youth of color, and 
 fight for a livable climate and an equitable, sustainable, and just world.
