Tired of hearing about climate change? Then do something.
In order to bring our climate back to the safe zone and avoid catastrophic consequences, we need to make massive emissions cuts now. There's only one way we can achieve that: we need to turn the political heat way up -- and push back the corporate and business lobbyists who use false solutions (clean coal and carbon trading) to keep polluting and profiting.Climate change is rooted in an unjust economic system controlled by corporations at the expense of people and planet. Climate justice means we need to address these root causes and create postive alternatives; localized, low-carbon communities and economies.

On August 15th stand with the environmental justice movement that has stopped Chevron’s refinery expansion in Richmond. Chevron already produces two million pounds of air pollution, water pollution, and greenhouse gases each year. The expansion would create much more greenhouse gas and toxic air pollution.

Join the growing alliance of groups and people creating “street heat” for climate justice in the lead up to the December 2009 Copenhagen Climate Talks. Organize a climate justice affinity group with your friends, neighbors, co-workers, fellow students, union, church or family and join us for Aug. 15 and beyond.
