Youth Climate Activists – Fox Valley‎YCA Meeting

Final meeting for organizing the global strike on September 20th. We’ll talk about last-minute outreach and the schedule for the strike. Anyone from ages 12-25 is free to come.

Youth Climate Strike-Baraboo

It all started when a handful of Madison-area high school students met to discuss the possibility of a strike from school to demand climate justice in the state of Wisconsin. Two hours later, the group had set the roots of a global climate movement in Wisconsin.

Students from across the state started to get involved and the movement became statewide. After weeks of planning the climate strike occurred on March 15 and drew out over 2,000 people across the state and a crowd of over 1,000 in Madison. Young people chanted, occupied the capitol, and made their voices heard.

Following the Strike, organizers felt an obligation to continue to fight for climate justice and so an organization was founded to empower youth voices and advocate for climate justice.

The Youth Climate Action Team (YCAT) was created and is entirely youth run. It comprises of many youth organizers from across the state of Wisconsin and works with multiple partner organizations. We organize actions concurrent with each other at the state level so young people are always welcome to get involved and join our team, wherever they may be located! Our group focuses on organizing demonstrations and directly advocating for environmental reform in the state. We are an official 501c4 nonprofit and use our finances and resources to enhance youth climate activists across the state. We act with many partners nationally and are quasi-branch of the US Youth Climate Strike.

We demand Governor Evers, counties, and municipalities declare a climate emergency for the future of the planet and the State of Wisconsin.

We demand clean water for every community in the state of Wisconsin regardless of socioeconomic status and demand the protection of Wisconsin water systems, including honoring treaty rights.

We demand the quality of our air be protected and prioritized by the state of Wisconsin.

We demand our public lands and soil be protected from pollutants that can destroy its ability to harbor crops and demand all public lands to be accessible to humans.

We demand that the state prioritize the transition from fossil fuel-based energy to renewables to both save tax dollars and protect our environment from global warming.

We demand our agricultural systems are built to last for future growing seasons and ensuring a supportive transition from factory farms (CAFOs) to small and family farms.

We demand that marginalized communities have access to resources for them to lead a greener lifestyle and refocusing the issue of climate change around marginalized voices.

We demand that our school systems reflect the sustainable future we need for our youth and demand school boards combat wastefulness in schools.

We demand the state prioritize the reduction of carbon emissions to slow global warming and to reach 100% renewable energy by 2030.

On Saturday, September 28th, we’ll come together on the shores of Gichi-gami — Lake Superior — to stand up against the proposed Enbridge Line 3 tar sands pipeline.

Complete details, including registration and bus information on event website: www.gichigamigathering.com

Schedule:
Noon: Arrival /Check-in Begins
1:30: Rally
2:30: March
3:30: Gathering and Festival

Enbridge’s Line 3 project would pump the world’s dirtiest oil from Canada to Superior, crossing Ojibwe treaty land, wild rice lakes, and the headwaters of the Mississippi River. It would have the climate change impact of 50 coal power plants.

This past June, the Minnesota Court of Appeals threw out Line 3’s environmental review because the spill risks to Lake Superior were never even studied. Meanwhile, Enbridge is doing pre-construction for the pipeline, even with lawsuits, expert recommendations, tribal nations, community groups, and presidential candidates lining up against the project.

Now is the time to gather at Gichi-gami and raise our voices so that Governor Walz, our state agencies, and all Minnesotans can hear. We need to protect this Great Lake and stop this toxic pipeline.

Together, we’ll rally, march, and celebrate the community of resistance that has brought us this far. This will be a powerful day. No matter your background or experience, there is a place for you in this movement. Bring everyone — Gichi-gami Gathering to Stop Line 3 is a family-friendly event.

This event follows the Global Climate Strike, a youth-led week of action to demand climate justice for everyone and an end to the age of fossil fuels. Building Line 3 would lock us into 50 more years of climate crisis level emissions from the Canadian tar sands. Join one of the Global Climate Strikes on September 20th in your own community, then come from near or far on the 28th to Gichi-gami to protect the water and say no to this pipeline that affects us all.

If you’ve been involved in the movement to stop Line 3, you won’t want to miss this. If you’re new to the movement, you’ll learn about our concerns about the pipeline, how you can get involved, and how you can support those doing frontline work. We’ll see you there. #StopLine3

We need to respond to the full-blown emergency that is the global climate crisis. July 2019 was the hottest month in recorded history. The Amazon is on fire. There is no shortage of communities being devastated by catastrophic hurricanes and wildfires.

We’re in the midst of a drastic wake up call to protect our planet for every generation. What matters now is how we respond.

Here’s the good news — right now, millions of young people all around the globe are getting ready to strike for the climate on September 20. This is shaping up to become the largest climate mobilization in world history. Ever.

We have the power to turn things around if we act together. This is the moment for people of all ages to join! RSVP for a climate strike near you now.

This week, the youth leaders announced the Climate Strike demands — policies that mark the progress we need for a livable future:

• The Green New Deal to transform our economy to clean, renewable energy and create millions of good jobs
• Respect of Indigenous Land and Sovereignty to honor the treaties and immediately halt all resource extraction on Indigenous lands
• Environmental Justice and a just transition for all communities on the frontlines of poverty and pollution
• Projection and Restoration of Biodiversity
• Implementation of Sustainable Agriculture and investment in farmers

Greg, this is the kind of bold vision we need to actually address the climate crisis.

The thing is, we can only win if our movement gets big enough to leave our elected leaders no choice but to listen. We’re up against a lot, and it’s going to take ALL of us showing up as much as we can, even when it’s not easy.

Are you in? RSVP for a Youth Climate Strike near you.

See you in the streets,
