Thank you everyone. Uh, super excited to be here I want to talk a little bit about why my organization cause is bringing a busload of youth leaders up from our community in such a coast of california up to san francisco To march for climate jobs and justice As many of you know, california is facing devastating wildfires like never before actually six of the largest 20 wildfires recorded in history have happened just in the last year in california and This week our state put out an assessment projecting a 77 increase in wildfires by the end of the century But what isn't really being talked about is that this is really most affecting immigrants farm workers other working class people people of color on the front lines Here in my area in december we we went through what was then the largest wildfire in california history Actually now less than a year later. It's already been topped by another fire in medicino We had some of the worst air quality ever recorded in this area Well, public health warning said not to go outside without a special respirator mask Here in ventura county during the fires. We had thousands of farm workers who really had no choice But to labor in the fields picking strawberries Under extremely dangerous choking smoke. We had folks who developed asthma and other lung conditions as a result of that Um in california has half the nation's farm workers. We've got some of the most labor intensive industrial agriculture in the country and We also our emergency warnings weren't translated into spanish for the first 10 days during the The most crucial evacuations warnings about unsafe air quality and water quality Even though one in three members of our community speak spanish at home We also had thousands of folks who were affected by lost work People like housekeepers and landscapers of homes and buildings that were burned down or evacuated but Folks may not know that undocumented immigrant workers and families are shut out of federal assistance programs for disasters like fema Um, and so our communities were really on the front lines and immigrants rights organizations like mine in the area work to pass out Thousands of protective masks in the fields Push for translation of emergency information and raise over a million dollars to provide relief to immigrant families excluded from federal aid So that's really why you know, we're pushing for systemic solutions We really need systems change and our community has also been organizing to keep fossil fuels in the ground And lead a just transition away from this extractive economy thousands of people Were part of this successful effort over the last four years to stop the puente power plant from being built in oxard california All the power plants in our region are located in oxard, which is 85 people of color And has one of the highest asthma rates in the state And when another fossil fuel power plant was proposed the youth of our community really led a movement to shut it down And force nrg, which is the largest operator power plants in the entire country To back down and now now our area is building solar power and battery storage instead to replace that project We're also now in the midst of fighting a proposal to to put 750 oil wells in in the community of santa maria Which is 75 lepidol community where our agriculture livelihoods of farm workers and our drinking water and health are dependent on our groundwater Which will be threatened by the extreme oil drilling through our aquifers to get it get at this dirty oil So our our folks are are out here on on the front lines working for system change And so that's why we're we're taking that that fight with us to sacramento. This is a moment where We're certainly across the country, but definitely definitely here in california We're we're seeing this turning point and we're building power Particularly among frontline communities commutes of color working class communities to fight for and end to fossil fuels and and climate justice and and so We're we're really seeing this as as a moment where we can flex that power And show show everything that we've we've been building here. And so i'm looking forward to to seeing all of you in san francisco And and helping us to build this movement Thank you. Um, and if you want to share any link Throughout in the chat box.

Roberto jesus is an associate director out of the warehouse workers Yes, hello everyone. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. I am so excited about the chicagoland action it's happening in this town village of alwood, alnoy, which is about 45 minutes south of chicago, so we're uh going off the bean path and the reason we're doing this is because Alwood and jolly at alnoy, which are outside of chicago Uh in those communities. There's a convergence of the issues of jobs justice and climate this this action really encapsulates All three themes from this year's people's climate movement event and why is that, you know, as many people may not know Uh chicagoland is the place where six out of the seven major class one railroads converge uh Because of the the bnsf intermodal built in alwood, alnoy is the busiest intermodal facility uh in the entire midwest because of that intermodal intermodal is basically a huge train yard where trains Take off trailers and put them on to trucks And this is and then they go to warehouses in the local uh communities But because of this uh these particular train yards that have been built chicagoland is actually The third largest port community in the entire world after shanghai in hong kong Uh and not what an m rb Trillions of dollars get moved out of our region over three trillion just in jolly at and alwood over a trillion of the gd gdp is uh Distributed out of that region and why does this matter? Why is this a jobs justice and climate? uh issue There's over 10 000 trucks A day that move out of this region diesel particulate is off the Off the radar there That is climate change hundreds and hundreds of trains come into the region. So what does it look like workers? Why is this a jobs? um issue The major corporations in half of the fortune 500 has major warehouses in the jolly at region amazon wal-mart ikea home depot target the list goes on uh they employ staffing agencies uh Contingent labor over 60 of the workforce is non permanent jobs. No benefits workers suffer from wage theft discrimination All kinds of issues really What's happened in this area is the workers And the community members and the environmental justice community have identified These corporations bnsf warren buffett owns uh bnsf Jeff bezos who owns amazon the walton families who owns wal-mart? They all make trillions of dollars off this community, but they're not doing their part They're not doing their part for the workers They're putting our communities in debt because we're giving them too many tax breaks And they do not have green sustainable infrastructure We're going to demand all three things from these major entities And we are more powerful together and we can get this done together And if they don't listen us We will shut them down And this is just the start of our movement that's happening in elwood and julia will county in chicago land And I cannot wait to have you all down there.

Um, global glass grassroots justice alliance partners They're a convener of the many grassroots organizations that work on a multitude of issues across the u.s It's an enormous alliance with a ton of power in the grassroots communities And they will be in the bay area in california. They'll be hosting an entire week of action Starting with september 8th called the solidarity to solutions week or soul to soul sol to sol You can find them on facebook. Um, it's probably the easiest and i'm dropping the link now into the chat box But if folks that are in the bay area want to participate in that there is also a huge need for volunteers and participants There's going to be a couple days of direct action as well as summits with a variety of organizations And you can click that link to find out more information But there's also a multitude of other events that are going to be happening in the bay area In San Francisco proper and in the area in general You can again go to the california website the rise for climate website There's an event section that i'll drop in now And that's where you can check out the calendar of the many actions that range from film screaming screenings Um to pervigils to art builds Um to policy summits So those are really going to be awesome spaces for you all to participate and get more information If you're in the bay if you're not on the bay definitely keeping out on social media Everyone's using the hashtag rise for climate Forest spelled out. It's not the number rise for climate And you can check out all the action online and participate that way Equally important a big moment why we're organizing on september 8th is the global climate action summit Our goal and our vision is really to make sure that these actions are adding pressure to the summit where It has been convened by governor brown in california and some other partners as well But the goal is to attract sub national leaders from across the nation And that they're meant to talk about their bold climate plans And we want to make sure that they know that our people across the communities and across the The many organizations in the nation are absolutely ready prepared They understand what this means and that we want to see bold climate leadership some real leadership that we can Make sure serves our communities in the way that is going to be as lucas was saying before An economy that works for everybody An environment that works for everybody and doesn't compromise Jobs or justice in in lieu of climate and vice versa and all around So the global climate action summit is happening in san francisco from september 12 to 14th There are officially affiliated activities that are happening as a part of that summit There's a link in that same california Sorry c a dot rise for climate dot org link that I dropped into the chat box If you want to see more of those affiliate events just go there and there's a link that will take you to those events That are organized by this of the conveners of the summit But as I mentioned, this is really our our moment is is the highlight our partner's activities are the highlight We really want to make sure that we are Pressuring our elected officials To take their leadership to the next level And whatever way that looks like for the nation, but most importantly at the local level this year is really about local level action So that's one of the ways that you can all engage and and thinking about this weekend this upcoming weekend Of september 8th rise for climate jobs and justice and particularly for those of us that are in the bay area Beyond this week of action and weekend of action We of course have a very very important marker coming up, which is the november midterms Many states have been having primaries since early on in the year And we want to continue to keep up the pressure momentum and encourage folks to be really thinking about C3 voter engagement. Um, we want to make sure that our again our elected officials are hearing our message About what it means to take full leadership and full action So we will be having a um a voter engagement call We're going to be kicking it off. Um, just after the summit ends on september 17th That call is going to be hosted by our organizing director at people's climate movement Her name is lindsay crowder and um, we'll be sending a more official rsvp link But for now you all can save the date for september 17th at 8 p.m. Eastern And we'll be um helping to gather all the many folks that have volunteered gather All the many folks that have been a part of these rise for climate jobs and justice actions across the nation And really think about how we can critically build our power and show it at the ballot box As many of you all may be seeing in some of our communications and emails Our work is again not to just take this march or this moment of action But to make sure that we're in the streets that we're in the ballot box and that we're doing even more beyond that So right now our markers are september november, but people's climate movement. We are planning to remain strong We're planning to remain um connected early We're on a call today with some of our core partners and that was a huge piece of what we all spoke about together Was really saying like look we we've got to take these relationships that we're building Cross movement cross sector cross gender cross age and we must continue to work together if we're going to win And that is our goal. We've got to win. We've got to win on climate action this year next year and in the many important and critically um politically important years to come So with that I will pass it back to Adelita and to all of you So we can answer any last lingering questions before this big day of action Um, thank you all so much again for being on the call.
