The truth is that the poor live on the frontlines of climate change and bear the brunt of costs and impacts of climate volatility.
We have a fundamental right to clean water, air and a healthy environment and public resources to monitor, penalize and reverse the polluting impacts of fossil fuel industries.
We demand 100 percent clean, renewable energy and a public jobs program to transition to a green economy that will put millions of people in sustainable living wage jobs.

IMF chief 'couldn't sleep' after reading climate report: 'What have we done?'

'The big eye opener was when last year I read IPCC report,' Kristalina Georgieva said. 'I tell you, I could not sleep that night.'This is a great work.
Crocodile tears. The IMF has, with US backing, helped destroy progressive governments all over the world. They have been one of the leading forces that has impoverished and exploited the colonized world. The IMF is an enemy in the fight against climate change.
“All I could think of was my 8-year-old granddaughter,” Georgieva saiad. “What have we done? By the times she’s 20 there could be 100 million more poor people because of climate change. By the time she’s 40 there could be over 100 million climate refugees. If she lives to be 90 and the temperature is 3 to 4 degrees warmer, this planet will be barely liveable.”
“Good, a felony guarantees I go to jail,” he said, according to the arraignment report.
“You don’t get it, I want to go to jail. I’m homeless and it’s cold out,” he added.

Man Tells Police He Wants to Go to Jail Because He’s Homeless and It’s Cold

A man who is accused of shoplifting at a store in Middletown told police that he wanted to go to jail because he’s homeless and it’s cold, according to police. Police said they responded to the Bob’s store on East Main Street in Middletown on Sunday night to investigate a shoplifting complaint...“I’m afraid that America may be losing what moral vision she may have had,” he answered. “And I’m afraid that even as we integrate, we are walking into a place that does not understand that THIS NATION NEEDS TO BE DEEPLY CONCERNED WITH THE PLIGHT OF THE POOR AND DISENFRANCHISED. Until we commit ourselves to ensuring that the underclass is given justice and opportunity, we will continue to perpetuate the anger and violence that tears at the soul of this nation.”

Kicking things off with song this morning at the 2nd Annual National Coordinating Committee Meeting in Chicago!!! #poorpeoplescampaign
GOP is trying to use a rule in the House that says you can’t call the President racist b/c it’s a personal attack. But racism is a policy position. Voter suppression is racist. Segregation is racist. Attacking immigrants is racist. Etc.
