 On September the 8th, we are rising in this nation because of climate change. We're organizing the biggest climate mobilization that the West Coast has ever seen, and folks, you won't be part of it. I'm rising for September 8th. Here in California, I've been infected by the drought. We're not getting the much-needed rain, the wildfire, mandatory evacuation, problem with our water, emergency water cutbacks, because of the climate change. On September 8th, I'm rising because fossil fuel production is driving cancer rates across the country. It is long past time to stop cancer and stop climate change. To give coal miners and the oil workers an adjust transition so that they can find jobs that will be part of this new clean energy economy. Low-income communities, communities of color, immigrant communities are hit worst and first. And the solutions need to mean better neighborhoods, better communities for those folks.
