georgia for the planet

youth led organization advocating for climate justice in Georgia / fight with us:

[georgia for the planet @GAForThePlanet]

As a youth climate organization, it is important that we recognize that there is no climate justice without racial justice, and there is no racial justice without radical change to our system.

As others comfortably sit in a room discussing the reality of my family and friends, @gafu_org, @ArribaLasVegas, and @IAJEofMS call on @AliMayorkas and @SecMartyWalsh to speak directly to the communities that most are impacted by the policies of @POTUS’s administration.

**An Open Letter**

To: Honorable Secretaries @SecMartyWalsh and @AliMayorkas ,

While a chosen few messengers sit in the room with you, discussing potential future policy, the lives of immigrant workers hang dangerously in the balance. 1/17

@JenGranholm, to #buildbackbetter, we need to #buildbackfossilfree. As a young voter, I ask you to: invest in BIPOC communities hit hardest by pollution; reject all fossil fuel projects; deliver climate-friendly jobs and energy. Stand with us https://t.co/g8rtsuaIgW

.@ACLUofGA says there is a massive effort underway to 'cage' 364,541 voters in Georgia before the US Senate runoffs. The effort is largely focused on counties that remained or turned 'blue' for the general, like Cobb which denied 49,000+challenges today

@CAcorrections must create and implement adequate fire safety plans. People should NEVER be left behind in a mandatory evacuation area, like they left our loved ones in CMF and Solano. #CaFire #vacavillefire

Hey Georgians! We want to hear from you. The Georgia Public Service Commission has voted to raise power bills, resume shut-offs, and have consumers pay $7.7 million in COVID costs. What do you think? #Power4People

[georgia for the planet @GAForThePlanet]

@wetheplugtho Unacceptable! The PSC needs to be protecting Georgians and ensuring safe, consistent, and affordable access to energy.

[georgia for the planet @GAForThePlanet]

green capitalism aims to blame climate change on individuals, but it is capitalism that keeps many americans trapped in cycles of poverty that force them to rely on unsustainable goods. THIS is why companies want us to continue buying cheap, low quality, unsustainable products 👀

While #PlasticFreeJuly is a great way to consider how we can all lessen our environmental impact, it’s also important to acknowledge that most environmental degradation is caused by big corporations — NOT individuals.

If you live in Atlanta, contact your council member about defunding the police! https://t.co/5CAgC7jIsd

Senate Rules committee just passed a clean version of #HB426 that protects all Georgians. The Georgia legislature is standing up to hate and bringing us one step closer to having a #hatefreega #passhatecrimesga @HateFreeGeorgia

[georgia for the planet @GAForThePlanet]

RACIAL JUSTICE & CLIMATE JUSTICE ARE NOT SEPARATE ISSUES — they are VERY intertwined and we have to push for BOTH!

Climate change is tied to major pregnancy complications, with black mothers most at risk, according to a study that looked at 32 million U.S. births
