DESCRIPTION:RECLAIM EARTH DAY - NO to GENOCIDE! NO to ECOCIDE! \n\nImperialists out of 
 Palestine, Congo, and Sudan! \n\nJoin Youth Vs. Apocalypse and hundreds of 
 youth for our annual youth-led Earth Day action, centering intersectional 
 demands that target the root of oppression.\n\nFriday, April 19, 
 10am\n\nMore info: 
 https://actionnetwork.org/events/reclaiming-earth-day-end-imperialism\n\nThis 
 year, we are witnessing the US fund the active genocide with over 36,000 
 Palestinians martyred by the Israeli occupation, we must keep our eyes on 
 the struggles happening all over the Global South. We have a 
 responsibility, as US and western imperialist forces are responsible for 
 this mass suffering. We know it’s our duty as climate justice organizers 
 in the belly of the beast to put pressure on the ruling class in power to 
 ensure liberation for the masses of people, domestically and 
 internationally.\n\nThis is why a large coalition of youth leaders and 
 environmental movement organizers have come together to organize an Earth 
 Day action centered around uplifting Palestine, Sudan, and Congo – three 
 countries going through massive violence at the hands of western 
 imperialism.\n\nWe believe that the oppression going on in Palestine, 
 Sudan, and Congo is directly related to our core values of environmental 
 justice, youth power, indigenous land stewardship, and the right to 
 self-determination.\n\nFrom The Bay and Congo to Sudan and Palestine, we 
 say no more extracting resources at the sacrifice of human life and 
 environmental health. All three of these countries are being targeted by 
 greedy corporations, war-profiteering politicians, and imperialist 
 governments to further their genocidal agendas and widen their profits. As 
 they exploit and murder entire communities, they are also destroying the 
 land. Genocide will always be coupled with ecocide. The youth, the people, 
 and the land share a common enemy. As environmental justice organizations, 
 we must stand against imperialism to advance the liberation of the masses 
 of oppressed people and protect the land and its right to flourish.\n\nWe 
 will march from the Embarcadero Plaza to our targets: Blackrock and Bank of 
 NY Mellon (BNY Mellon), due to their involvement in investing in 
 imperialist institutions responsible for resource extraction, war, 
 violence, and genocide in the Global South. Blackrock is invested in 
 various corporations furthering imperialism in Palestine, Congo, and Sudan. 
 BNY Mellon is invested in Elbit Systems which is Israel’s largest weapons 
 firm playing a huge role in the current Genocide against Palestinian 
 people.\n\nWe are uplifting the movement demands set forth by Palestinian, 
 Sudanese, and Congolese movement organizers. We have an additional demand 
 set forth by the youth leading this event:\n\nENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE 
 REQUIRES THE END OF IMPERIALISM. Imperialists out of Palestine, Congo, and 
 Sudan!\n\nRSVP to join us on April 19th, 2024 from 10am-2:00pm at 
 Embarcadero Plaza to demand the end of imperialism in Palestine, Congo, and 
 Sudan and demand real environmental justice!\n\nUnite against 
 Imperialism!\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2024/04/13/18864955.php
