Entirely NEW LEVEL OF ACTIVISIM NEEDED!

CRISIS ISSUE:
GLOBAL WARMING IS INCREASING!

           

WHAT CAN WE DO?

ONLY AN ENTIRELY NEW LEVEL OF ACTIVISM 

CAN EXERT ENOUGH PRESSURE TO:

1. BREAK THE MEDIA SILENCE ON GLOBAL WARMING AND 
2. BREAK THE REPUBLICAN REFUSAL TO PROTECT HUMANITY FROM HARM

With the stunningly unexpected victory of a Trump Administration that regards global warming as a hoax, WE CANNOT EXPECT NATIONAL POLICY TO SLOW GLOBAL WARMING – (UNLESS CATASTROPHIC CLIMATIC EVENTS BREAK THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRIES’ CONTROL OF REPUBLICAN POLICY). 

We can, however, try to breach the denial of science BY A VERY BROAD BASED AND HEIGHTENED LEVEL OF ACTIVISM TO MAKE THE PASSAGE OF ESSENTIAL LEGISLATION POSSIBLE.

Knowing the positions and priorities of the in-coming Presidential Administration and Congressional majorities, PROACTIVE organizing to break the media silence on and Republican Party denial of global warming must begin NOW.

Further, we must build an activist movement that cuts across specific organizational priority issues. Since we are all vulnerable to the increasing harm of global warming, single issue politics (like gun control, LGBT rights, Black Lives Matter, etc.) must come together in coalitions that draw upon uniquely broad based activism.

More than half of the electorate voted for Hillary Clinton and sensible global warming policy. A very large majority of Americans acknowledges global warming as real. WE ARE ALL ACTIVISTS. If we can FLOOD the local media, our local House members and our Senators – in person, with email, with calls, with letters, we can make our views much more difficult to deny and, hopefully, promote the essential global warming legislation.
