A Rally in Support of The NYC March to End Fossil Fuel
Fossil fuels, militarism and war all threaten humanity directly
and accelerate climate chaos. This is our chance, and Biden's opportunity, to
break free from fossil fuels and build a just and safe future. On
September 17, The March to End Fossil Fuels is being held to coincide with UN
Secretary General Antonio Guterres' organization of a “Climate Ambition
Summit.” Peace groups are joining in, understanding and highlighting the
connections between climate, peace and justice issues: access to fossil fuels are
a major reason for wars over the last century; the largest institutional
polluter in the world is the US Pentagon; clean renewable energy and
environmental justice for low-income and people of color communities are needed
for a just world peace.
Join us in Concord on Friday, September 15, to speak out on this topic and
cheer on those headed to NY for the march.
