Independence from Fossil Fuels Day

Start: Tuesday, July 04, 2023 9:30 AM

There has never been more urgency to end the era of fossil fuels. We have a small window of time to turn things around for a livable future – and we need an unprecedented movement that pushes our world leaders to act now.

President Biden can take breakthrough steps to end the fossil fuel era and build a just renewable energy future. He has the power to stop approving fossil fuel projects, phase out oil and gas drilling on public lands and waters, and declare a climate emergency to accelerate a just transition to clean energy run by and for the people. But so far, he’s broken his campaign promises to lead us off fossil fuels and champion environmental justice. Instead, he's expanded fossil fuel drilling and production. Biden's approvals for new oil and gas projects are disastrous for the planet – and disproportionately harm Black, Indigenous, low-income communities, and communities of color.

So on July 4th, we're declaring independence from fossil fuels and building up to the March to End Fossil Fuels in New York on September 17th - and we're kicking off a national banner tour on President Biden's front door to show him what real climate leadership looks like. We are the heroes we’ve been waiting for.
