[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?

· You can read the full demands here and sign on as an individual and organization (fields for endorsing organizations are at the bottom), and please let me know (snaficy@corporateaccountability.org) if you have any questions.

· Please email your own membership or networks and urge them to sign the People's Demands as well by using this link: People's Demands for Climate Justice.

· And please help spread the word on social media: Twitter or Facebook and Linkedin. Sample posts are below.

A Thousand thank yous, in solidarity,
