Over 75,000 climate protesters took to the streets of New York City in the weekend on 16/17 September in a powerful show of force at the March To End Fossil Fuels, demanding world leaders take bold action to end the era of fossil fuels. It was the largest global climate mobilization since the pandemic. While the demonstration was big, it was just one part of a truly massive global effort, with over 700 actions in 65 countries on seven continents and even at the North Pole.
World leaders gathering for the UN Climate Ambition Summit in New York which took place in the week after, completely managed to ignore our demands. The Climate Ambition Summit failed to deliver. Instead of fossil fuel “phase out,” nations agreed to “phase down” their use of fossil fuels only in regards to unabated coal power. After the hottest, most catastrophic summer in human history it is time to pivot to a more urgent and direct way to hold world leaders‘ feet to the fire.
Here is where The Third Force comes into play. Join The Third Force and let’s demand our world leaders declare a Global Climate Emergency by years end, or we’ll bring their doomsday machine crashing to the ground.
Starting this Friday, in 100 cities around the world let’s:
- Whack this poster up on lampposts everywhere.
- Email it to presidents, prime ministers and CEOS.
- Donate to buy full-page ads in The New York Times and The Washington Post.
And let’s pick up the pace, the tempo, the rhythm of our activism. Turn every Friday into a global day of fuck-it-all civil disobedience!
Let’s put one big idea behind every one of our actions. One demand, clear and simple, roaring from our signs and banners, a big bold drumbeat to permeate the collective psyche of humanity. World leaders get together and Declare a Global Climate Emergency
