Dear friends,
Below, we’ve provided some visuals that can be shared both online and offline. SoCal 350 is a member of the Last Chance Alliance, an international alliance of over 700 organization raising pressure on California elected representatives to meet the following demands:
- STOP issuing new oil drilling permits.
- DROP existing oil production (which includes banning the importation of crude extracted from the Western Amazon, which currently enters through our ports).
- ROLL OUT a 2,500 ft. safety and health buffer zone between oil drilling sites and frontline communities.
Please sign this petition urging LAUSD to give students permission to strike on 9/20.
Check out our Digital Amplification Toolkit for CA for the #GlobalClimateStrike. If you are unable to #StrikeWithUs in person, we hope you can amplify messaging by signing the Last Chance Alliance petition, which will be creatively delivered. Also, here’s an art toolkit Rootskeeper, Stand.earth and RALLY put together that includes the some “stop, drop and roll” graphics telling Gov. Newsom to lead California’s just transition off fossil fuel extraction. Please feel free to use the high res downloadable version here.Please act in solidarity with the strike by also calling Governor Newsom to uplift our demands, as well as urging him to sign AB 857 (Public Banking) and SB 1, the California Environmental, Public Health and Workers Defense Act, two pieces of vital law sitting on his desk. Call in instructions and script- here.
On 9/27 we will continue to raise momentum to denounce global fascism, colonialism, and capitalism, focusing on Brazil and and centering indigenous rights and migrant justice, worldwide. Sign and share this petition: Open Letter to U.N. Secretary-General to Censure Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro.
We will be updating this page frequently, as we compile more information, graphics, and craft more messaging. Please do check back in and circulate with your networks!
Your friends,
SoCal 350
