We are on the heels of an historic grassroots fracking victory in New York, and have seen millions of people around the world respond to dire scientific warnings by standing up and speaking out against climate change. And because of this, we now are well positioned to dramatically turn the tide against fossil fuels in the great state of California, and usher in the 100% renewable energy future. If Jerry Brown wants to be a real climate leader, he can either put his money where his mouth is, and push back against the oil industry by stopping refinery expansion, blocking dangerous bomb trains, and putting a ban on fracking and other forms of dangerous and toxic fossil fuel extraction, or he can keep paying lip service to our ideals. Enough is enough. If Jerry Brown won’t take the initiative to protect the water, air, food, climate and communities of California, we will.

That’s why in the run up to the March for Real Climate Leadership, we’re hitting the road and touring the state to bring together Californians in common cause. We’ll be highlighting the different ways the fossil fuel industry is ravaging our communities, our health, our water, and our future. The tour will be made up of several evening panel discussion events showcasing how everyday Californians are in the fight of their lives against all aspects of the fossil fuel economy including extraction, infrastructure, chemicals and toxicity, as well as the industry’s assault on sustainable businesses and innovation. We’ll be exploring the intersectionality between our movements, and aligning our energies behind one common goal: A truly clean energy future where our children are not poisoned for toxic profits. And with so many communities currently being adversely affected, combined with all those who will undoubtedly be affected by the impending climate crisis, collectively, all Californians have a stake in this fight and a reason to step up.
