Next Week, it's People vs Fossil Fuels
We’re days away from the start of the historic People vs Fossil Fuels mobilization. Next week, thousands of people from around the country will be converging in Washington DC to take bold direct action to challenge the Biden administration to take action to address the climate crisis. Here’s how you can get involved in making this action happen:
Art Builds
This Saturday and Sunday, we’re holding art builds from 11am until sundown. If you would like to join the art team, join this Signal group and we can provide the location and other details.
Get Prepped
There will be action prep sessions every evening from 6-8pm in Freedom Plaza. If you’re planning on risking arrest any day this week, you should attend the prep session the evening before you plan on risking arrest. Also, make sure to sign up on the People vs Fossil Fuels website.
Help Set Up
We’ll be setting up our convergence space in Freedom Plaza this Sunday afternoon starting at 1pm. Then, each day we’ll be setting up materials for the following day’s action at 4pm. If you can help set up, please come to Freedom Plaza and join us.
Spread the Word
Help spread the word about the action! The People vs Fossil Fuels team put together this incredible promo video. Please take a minute to watch it and share it on your social media!
