Build Back Fossil Free
People vs Fossil Fuels Week of Action
Build Back Fossil Free was a signatory on an invitation for a "civil disobedience" event which may result in arrest at the White House held in Washington DC, from October 11-15, 2021, "as part of Build Back Fossil Free’s People vs Fossil Fuels Week of Action."[1],[2]
The letter states in part:
- We know that participating in People vs Fossil Fuels is a big request. This would be a sacrifice of time, money, energy and freedom, and all under the shadow of a resurgence of COVID-19 cases. But we also know the despair many of you feel, the anxiety of this moment, seeing environmental devastation and human rights abuses around you, but not knowing how to help.
- If you have ever marched, rallied, called your representatives, lobbied, signed petitions to urge governmental leaders to act — we call on you to take the next step. Nonviolent civil disobedience is a time-tested tactic for change. Every movement for change—from suffragettes to the Civil Rights movement, has proven that the defining moments are those where people are willing to risk arrest.
- If we all come together, put our bodies on the line in the name of climate justice, we may be able to change the course of history. Please consider joining us on October 11-15 for one day, for the entire week, or for whatever time you can offer.
