Our Climate Crisis is a Corruption Crisis: An Introduction to Pennsylvania Action on Climate

Monday, July 29th | 7pm

Who is the new and bold Pennsylvania climate group that disrupted the exclusive 123 year old gathering of Pennsylvania's business and political elites, chanting "You Take Bribes, the Planet Dies"?

Come find out. Pennsylvania Action on Climate (PAC) invites you to a PAC 101 presentation, where you'll learn our coalition of climate and anti-corruption activists who are taking the nonviolent direct action necessary to address Pennsylvania’s corruption-fueled climate crisis. ***Please register for zoom information/to receive the recorded presentation.

SOME HISTORY: In June 2022, Pennsylvania climate advocates, anti-corruption activists, and concerned residents converged in Harrisburg to address Pennsylvania’s worsening corruption-fueled climate crisis.

On Monday June 13th, over 50 of us confronted the state legislature to demand they stop fueling the climate crisis with their greed and corruption. Ten of us were arrested and charged with criminal trespass. After a weekend filled with rigorous discussion about what actions come next, PAC was born.

WHY WE FIGHT: We fight because Pennsylvania is an extraction state. Our communities are suffering from the consequences of our corruption-fueled ecocide: Breathing disorders. Impaired cognitive function. Loss of biodiversity. Dirty air. Undrinkable water. Depleted soil and biomass. Cancer clusters. And more. We have been sold out by our politicians. We have been betrayed. But we refuse to lose hope.

WE WILL SAVE OURSELVES: Consider this your invitation to learn more about us, and join a group of Pennsylvanians who have said enough is enough.

We refuse to be sacrificed. We will disrupt every fundraiser, every gala, and every smoke-filled backroom until our legislature stops taking bribes from industries that are burning our planet and killing our communities.
