Indivisible

MAKE the BILLIONAIRES PAY! CLIMATE JUSTICE PROTEST

This a local Indivisible event! ‘Make Billionaires Pay: Climate Justice!’ protests on September 20 will bring together climate and social justice movements. More than 100 organizations, including 350.org, Climate Defenders, and Women’s March, are leading the protests in NYC, with parallel events planned across the U.S. Morgan County Indivisible is hosting a protest in Berkeley Springs, WV. It’s an invitation for everyday people to get involved in the fight against climate inaction, fascism and other forms of oppression. “We’re in a moment where the threat is so large that it’s not useful to have mobilizations that focus on one issue at a time.” Tamika Middleton, Women’s March The collision of climate change with economic inequality, migration pressures, and gender disparities is reshaping political protest in the U.S. As rising seas, storms, and drought displace millions worldwide, the impacts fall hardest on vulnerable groups — often women, children and low-income communities. Linking these injustices together reflects a wider recognition that environmental harm does not exist in isolation but is bound up with power, money, and human rights. The reason why we are targeting billionaires for these protests is because we see the growing concentration of economic and political power. They are the class driving fascism and climate chaos, and they have the resources to fund a sustainable future. Reminders: We need to be aware of & not interfere with pedestrians and traffic on the streets. We need to stay on sidewalks but keep them accessible, crossing only at crosswalks with the light. Everyone's safety is important. Please see a Safety Marshal if you have a concern. ♦️Bring your SPIRIT, your VOICE, a SIGN and a FRIEND♦️ Extra signs will be on hand. REMINDER A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.*
