(51,907 posts)Not Another Haiyan, Climate Justice Now! – Nov. 7th, 11 AM, Beacon Food Forest.
In 2013 the largest storm in history, Typhoon Haiyan, devastated the Philippines. On Nov. 7th, we will March to remember the victims and survivors of Typhoon Haiyan and climate disasters worldwide. While we do we demand an end to fossil fuel exports driving these disasters and the systems of imperialism, capitalism and CO2lonialism that created this and other disasters,
Peoples in the Global South bear the least responsibility for the climate crisis, but every year they face more and more of its devastating impacts. Meanwhile U.S. Corporations plan to extract the dirtiest coal and oil and ship it overseas to the Global South, where much of it will power further extractive neo-colonial land grabs and devastation.
Proponents of fossil fuel exports argue that people in India, China and East Asia are demanding our dirtiest energy. But on Nov. 7th climate activists will stand with our allies in the Pinay, South Asian and Chinese communities to say NO to dirty energy exports, CO2lonialism and more climate chaos.

March from Beacon Hill - Seattle's historically Filipino community, into Georgetown site of some of Seattle's worst environmental justice and the staging grounds for fossil fuel exports!
