Organize a Solidarity Sit in For Climate Justice. Now is the time.
Demands for Climate Justice have erupted with an exciting energy on every stage of COP15 – thousands of marchers approached the Bella Center, hundreds of delegates walked in an attempt to join the People’s Assembly, and as I write dozens of youth are sitting in to demand a fair, ambitious, and binding deal from the COP15 process.
Climate Justice, however, will not be secured this week in Copenhagen. It will be won through the grassroots movements of the Global South and the unwavering solidarity of movements in developed nations. Both movements now turn their eyes to Copenhagen, on the actions of the negotiators, and the thousands who have gone to stand for Climate Justice. We are inspired by their actions inside and outside the Bella Center today, and now, right now, is the perfect moment to take that flame and spread it.
You are an actor in the struggle for Climate Justice. You have agency. We have power. Hit the phones, now, don’t wait, call your friends – it is urgent, more urgent than final exams – and organize a sit-in action in solidarity with those standing for Climate Justice in Copenhagen.
We are a force to be reckoned with. Let the world know that not only do the thousands of global citizens who converged on Copenhagen stand for Climate Justice – we all do. The whole world watched today, tomorrow, let the whole world spring into action.
Do it.
