[GRRR] Sign-ons Needed: Peoples Climate Demands
Hello Friends,
I am writing to ask you and your organizations to sign on to the People’s Demands for Climate Justice, an urgent call to action for climate justice in the lead up to COP24, the next meeting of the global climate treaty.
Over the past few months, people’s movements around the world have shaped these Demands. This is a critical tool to hold governments’ feet to the fire and ensure the outcomes of COP24 actually lead to meaningful, just climate solutions. We need hundreds of organizations around the world to join this call to ensure our collective voices are heard before COP24 in Poland, which is happening in just a couple of weeks.
Can your organization join by signing on to the People’s Demands?
