U.S : SACRED LANDS are irreplaceable.

 

 

 

When you visit New Mexico’s Chaco Culture National Historical Park, you immediately feel its power. The walls hold the sweat, breath, prayers, and blessings of indigenous Pueblo and Diné people. This sacred landscape is under siege. Deemed a national energy sacrifice zone, the area surrounding the park holds more than 40 THOUSAND oil and gas wells. Oil and gas companies have transformed it into an industrial wasteland littered with rusting tanks and drill pads and connected by now-abandoned roads and pipelines.        Sign the petition: President Biden, stop approving fossil fuel infrastructure projects.           SIGN THE PETITION           The United States is the largest carbon polluter in history. And fossil fuels cause 85 percent of our greenhouse emissions. Ending fossil fuel production is the only way to prevent irreversible catastrophe.    President Biden committed to being a climate champion, respecting Indigenous rights, and fighting for environmental justice. While he has taken important steps towards addressing climate change, he has still failed to stop fossil fuel projects that threaten our climate and communities.    It's not too late. Biden can and must act swiftly to begin the phaseout of fossil fuel production nationwide through a just transition that protects workers and communities and curbs the twin climate and extinction crises.     Sign the petition: President Biden, stop approving fossil fuel infrastructure projects           SIGN THE PETITION           We're already experiencing the calamitous consequences of climate change. And our children will face even more extreme weather events throughout their lives — twice as many wildfires, droughts, and tropical cyclones, and more than three times the number of floods. It will cost us lives, livelihoods, and resources.    To maintain a livable climate, we must immediately halt fossil fuel expansion and phase out existing fossil fuel development before reserves are depleted.    During the last week, climate activists, led by Indigenous and frontline organizers, marched, rallied, and risked arrest in Washington, D.C. in defense of our climate and communities. The week of action is part of a generations-long battle to protect our earth mother, our water mothers, cultural integrity, and future generations. Now, they are calling on all of us to join them.        Sign the petition: President Biden, stop approving fossil fuel infrastructure projects.           SIGN THE PETITION           Keep fighting,         Monique Teal, Daily Kos.                                                                                                                             Daily Kos Relies on Readers Like You.
