BIG life update to share - after more than 15 years I've decided it is time for me to pass on the baton of leading 350.org. I feel very honored to have been in this incredible role for so long, and couldn't be happier with where the organization is today.

we marched from foley square, across the brooklyn bridge, to borough hall in new york city raising awareness of the ongoing climate change & urged president biden to declare a climate emergency that meaningfully addresses the climate crisis & need to end reliance on fossil fuels.

today at the climate emergency strike in new york city. party of my speech called out the empty promises of the fossil fuels industry of ending energy poverty in africa.

they’ve drilled oil for decades but 600 million africans can’t access electricity they “promised.”

Calling the Kenya Govt. to support the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty. It's time!
We now need a concrete, binding plan to end the expansion of new coal, oil and gas projects and manage a global transition away from fossil fuels.

As the wrap up, Civil Society have taken to the streets in force.

We demand World Bank to cancel the crippling debt, halt all funding, and reveal their shadowy finance dealings.

It's time for transparency and action—not more empty promises!
