Declaring Climate Emergency: Why & Our Call to Action

As we face climate breakdown, urgency intensifies daily. We have no time to lose and need governments, city and town councils, state legislatures, religious and educational institutions, businesses, civil society, leaders, families, and each one of us to respond assertively and swiftly to reverse rapid environmental breakdown.

It is time to break the spell of procrastination, denial and bargaining, and to break the silence and dispel all ambiguity by immediately declaring a Climate Emergency followed by strategies. For example, divesting from harmful industries, our allegiance with oppressive power systems, and the ways our lifestyles harm. Instead, invest in the changes needed to secure real climate justice outcomes.

We’re at an inflexion point when a mass, decisive response to our planetary emergency is vital for our survival. Only a united alliance and clear demands have the power to focus intention and overcome the criminal negligence of those wielding the destiny of the planet toward destruction for profit and power.

Together, we have the means to overcome distraction, overwhelm, helplessness, and denial. The moral authority of collective action has the potential to shape political policy and direct economic resources to avoid further collapse of ecosystems and human civilization.
