 FUTURE WEBSITE: SEPT 15th GLOBAL CLIMATE 
 STRIKE\n\nhttps://fridaysforfuture.org/september15/\n\nWe must end the Era 
 of Fossil Fuels. Scientists have warned us of the dire consequences of 
 fossil fuel dependency for many years, and affected communities have 
 testified to their disastrous impacts. Yet they have been brushed aside. 
 Our wealthiest nations’ leaders have failed to reduce greenhouse gas 
 (GHG) emissions, and the most privileged 1% continue to live in excess 
 while the most vulnerable remain on the frontlines of a crisis they did not 
 create. Already marginalized and disadvantaged communities face the worst 
 impacts while their resilience is stretched.\n\nThe Global Climate Strike 
 is part of the truly global effort to End The Era of Fossil Fuels. This is 
 a call to action from Indigenous and First Nations, youth activists, civil 
 society organisations, social movements, feminist and migrant rights 
 groups, trade unions, faith institutions, academic centres, health 
 institutions, people of all genders and backgrounds, everywhere.\n\nThe 
 fossil fuel industry is content with sacrificing life on earth to rake in 
 an annual profit. It is past time for world leaders to take a clear stand 
 and address the climate crisis. We are organizing to put people over profit 
 and demand action for communities everywhere.\n\nWE DEMAND:\n\n--An end to 
 Fossil Finance, divesting from new and current fossil fuel projects.\n\n--A 
 rapid, just, and equitable phase-out of all fossil fuels, ensuring that the 
 burdens and benefits are re-distributed fairly among different 
 stakeholders, with particular attention to historically marginalized and 
 vulnerable communities.\n\n--Massive investments in community owned 
 renewable energy projects.\n\n--Reparations for the harms caused to 
 communities affected by the climate crisis and its structural causes, as 
 well as enforcement of the Loss and Damage Fund, with special emphasis of 
 historical polluters paying into the Fun\n\n\nThe Sept. 15th Global Climate 
 Strike (https://fridaysforfuture.org/september15/) is part of the worldwide 
 weekend of climate action to protest the climate emergency ahead of the UN 
 Climate Summit 2023, with the main March to End Fossil Fuels NYC and more 
 global protest actions happening on Sept 17th:
