This Earth Day, we’re coming together at a scale this movement has never seen before. RSVP to take bold action for climate justice this Earth Day. As the world is reeling from the COVID-19 crisis, billionaire oil and gas CEOs are using this pandemic to push through whatever taxpayer-funded handouts they can get while the world isn’t looking. This year, Earth Day will be anything but normal, but that won’t stop us. From April 22 – 24, we will come together online — via a virtual livestream — to rise up in solidarity for those fighting on the frontlines of the COVID-19 and climate crises. COVID-19 has shone a light on the cracks in our current political and economic systems where the wealthy are put first and people are put last. While millions of people struggle to afford healthcare costs and bills, oil billionaires have been pushing for an oil bailout. This is despicable. What’s worse, despite isolation measures, pipeline construction across the U.S. and Canada is still happening. TC Energy, formerly TransCanada, is currently sending workers to build the Coastal GasLink pipeline on Wet’suwet’en land without consent, putting Indigenous elders at a higher risk of getting COVID-19 because they don’t have easy access to healthcare. In the U.S., construction of TC Energy’s Keystone XL pipeline is now underway too despite widespread opposition to the project. Like the pandemic, the climate crisis is an issue multiplier, exacerbating these existing inequities. That’s why we’re coming together online at a scale the climate movement has never seen before. Will you join us in taking bold action for justice this Earth Day? Here’s 3 things you can do right now: 1. Sign up to join the Earth Day Live live stream from April 22 – 24 This year’s 72-hour Earth Day Live mobilization will bring lessons learned for the climate movement from the COVID-19 crisis to a huge national stage. You’ll hear from people on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic, and will be part of creating a vision for how we can come out of the current crisis with a more just world. Sign up to join the Earth Day Live livestream. At a time when many of us are stuck at home and are struggling with the public health and economic fallout of this crisis, creative resistance is more essential than ever. Not just to build our movement, but to connect with ourselves and each other more deeply. Join Greenpeace and community artists for an Online Arts Build this Thursday, April 16, to learn how to use your window or yard as a platform for creative resistance on Earth Day. We’ll also be taking action in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en people, whose lives and land lie at the crosshairs of the COVID-19 crisis. Help us fight for Indigenous sovereignty and climate justice — RSVP to our April 23 digital blockade to stop Wall Street investment firm, KKR, from exploiting the COVID-19 crisis and sacrificing Indigenous lives and lands for their own profit. The COVID-19 crisis marks a turning point. We can choose to go back to a broken status quo, or we can choose to protect working people and frontline communities from this crisis and the climate emergency, not just a wealthy few. We can’t sit this one out. To a more just future, Avery Raines Greenpeace never takes a dime from corporations or governments. Everything we do is thanks to the generous support of people like you!
