@Citi
World's largest funder of fossil fuel expansion. Scientific consensus is we need to stop burning fossil fuels to have an inhabitable planet for future generations
You cannot have justice on stolen land. This is stolen land here in Seattle and today Canada is stealing unceded native lands in Canada for a fracked gas pipeline.

Quick math - 5 cops to arrest each elder here. Elders taking action

Yes! As a Seattle resident currently living in Barcelona I can attest to how wonderfully livable and enjoyable car free streets are.
Seriously JPMorgan Chase. You’re not getting away with planetary destruction without a fight. Inside and outside of Chase’s PNW HQ shut down today.

If you've got to walk through a gauntlet of protestors and cops to get to your job maybe you're working at the wrong place 🤷🏽♀️

stop funding fossil fuels
#SummerofHeat
Seattle Mayor debate tonight. Clear choice
@MLorenaGonzalez
. She gets how all the city's challenges are connected. Will prioritize people over corporations in running the city.
People of faith using prayer and their bodies to stop
@Citi
employees from entering HQ in Manhattan. Why? Because those corporation has poured nearly $400 billion into fossil fuels since 2016.

At 4:15am, the WA State Police raided the indigenous occupation at the capitol. Janene Hampton, from the Colville Okanagan tribe was arrested.

50 feet up - stopping construction of PSE’s LNG tank today. The regulatory process is failing. We need to stop this hand- and heart-on.

All 3 gates to the PSE LNG construction site in Tacoma BLOCKED this morning. 2nd action in a week. Building toward mass action on Monday.

came early to Seattle. Thx Canada. (4th and Pike blocked). Protest at Canadian consulate over govt raiding unceded
#Wetsuweten
native lands for pipeline.
Another day another protest at
@Citi
. This time because of Citi's complicity in climate disasters. One person sitting down risking arrest was displaced during Hurricane Sandy. Many of the crowd have had to flee their home countries due to climate catastrophe.

Over 100 people at the 2nd rally at the Canadian consulate this week, demanding the Canadian govt stop invading

Hey
@Citi
there is a crowd of displaced people outside your HQ making the connection between your financing decisions and the destruction of their homes and livelihoods. Every week more people show up to protest. It's time to

Nearly every day people of all backgrounds are trying to get in the way of Citi employees "doing their jobs." Jobs that facilitate planetary destruction are not good jobs. I'm proud to have been there.
BREAKING: 100s of
@Citi
bankers are unable to get into work.
Why? B/c dozens of grandparents have blocked the bank's HQ's doors, demanding it stop financing new fossil fuel projects.
This is the 27th major protest at Citi's HQ in the last 78 days.

2017. All for trying to stop Chase from funding catastrophic tar sands projects like KXL & Line 3.
"We see Amazon's greenwashing every time we pass by Climate Pledge Arena. Until Amazon drops its plan to buy fracked gas from GTN XPress, we'll keep showing up. Every fossil fuel project in the [Pacific Northwest] will be met with fierce resistance."
"Amazon is breaking its Climate Pledge by powering new data centers with fracked gas," said one member of the Troublemakers, a new activist group. "So we came to demand that they honor the pledge."
Such aggressive repression by state police here in Green Climate

Hey

@JayInslee
please stop the construction at the Tacoma LNG plant. As a PSE ratepayer I think it's ridiculous I'm gonna have to pay for this.
@GovInslee
@IPCC_CH
Yeah? And yet a methanol refinery and LNG facility are proceeding here in WA under your watch. And last night your state police DRESSED IN RIOT GEAR forcibly removed indigenous and climate activists from the statehouse.
Riot gear for a Read-In & Sing-a-long with kids? Kids care about the planet. We have extreme weather now. How about in 20 years when they become adults? Or when they're elders? Life on Earth in 2080 will be very dire if Citi keeps funding fossil fuels.

Bill thank you for always showing humility and honesty in your interactions and living from a place of purpose when you could be living a much quieter and more comfortable life out of the limelight
Happening now at Citi HQ in NYC. Scary dangerous scientists with their truth. Quickly tackled by the police state defending planet destroying companies like

I'm living in Barcelona this year - I moved from Seattle, USA, one of the "greenest" and most progressive cities in the US. Barcelona is so much more livable than Seattle. Policy changes that are positively affecting lives are happening so much faster here.

@RickSteves
Pair that with high speed rail and a public transportation system where metro and buses come every in few minutes during rush hour and you'll forget you owned a car!
There are moments in our lives where we can do more for our shared humanity and future. These actions are those. Thank you and I hope to stand with you physically some day but until then will support from afar.
Yesterday I prayed in lodge w/Indigenous relatives surrounded by allies blocking Line 3 destruction.
After arresting us, cops took selfies w/our lodge & laughed as they cut it apart. In jail we were kenneled, strip searched & shackled for misdemeanors.

@GovInslee
Boom. Seems lately like all of our work is self-defense… and those who proclaim to care (
@GovInslee
) don’t seem to be willing to actually do anything meaningful.
This captures alot of the challenges in social change orgs now but also charts a path forward. I'll add that personal work as a leader - healing, developing self awareness practices, continued learning - is critical.
38 years since the disaster and it will never be "over." Bhopalis keep fighting... We need to keep supporting the survivors. And do all we can to stop enviro disasters in progress or on deck around the world.
Trail of promises broken by the govt reg compensation, cleanup of toxic waste & holding Union Carbide & Dow Chemical accountable for massacre in Bhopal. Bhopal gas victims have fought the most powerful corporations for last 38yrs as our own govt refuses to protect their interest.
Hearing about the student occupation at the

We need a new Executive Director! Our amazing Interim Executive Director has helped get us in terrific shape, but she's leaving in October.
Might you be the one we need? Someone you know? Pass it on!
