Australia is burning rapidly. New South Wales has been hit hard by the bushfires and there are so many fires around the nation that many smaller fires are left unchecked due to a lack of firefighters. Eventually, these fires grow and become large fires.
The climate crisis is truly here, now. Something must be done to fight it. In the United States, declaring a climate emergency would allow activists to sue the government if it fails to act on climate and fight the delay of climate action in government.
That’s why we’re petitioning the US government to enact the climate emergency resolution proposed by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Earl Blumenauer. This resolution would declare that the climate crisis requires a rapid response and a war-like mobilization.
If you can, chip in the price of a cup of coffee to support the petition.
