#Action
Demands delivered. In the scotching sun of the Gambia's farthest, and probably the hottest region, we demand for a #FossilFreeFuture. We had discussions with our volunteers to amplify the campaign on climate change. Climate change is a human rights issue; we need just actions to protect the earth.

❗Women, girls & marginalized communities are facing the harsh brunt of #ClimateChange❗
📈 The numbers don’t lie: Women and children are 14x more likely to DIE from climate disasters, and 80% of those displaced are women. #ClimateJustice

It is #Day_3 of The Global Week of Action and this is a simple arithmetic for our take home:
"We can only hurt the climate, we can’t kill it. Human actions and inactions will only lead to the rise in temperature. The world will eventually become unbearable for us. The climate will kill everyone, then use our remains as fertilizer to regain the green we washed".
The sooner we know this, the better for us!
Protect the climate to protect the world.
Harsh but true!

#PayUp
The Global Week of Action for Climate Finance and a Fossil Free Future kicks off today! We start the week with the call to end fossil fuels, and demand world leaders to fulfill their obligations towards building a fossil fuel-free world.
While We dedicate the next eight days to make impactful noise in the fight to #EndFossilFuels, we will mobilize and have a peaceful procession in Basse, to expose the harms that the fossil fuel industry is doing to our communities and ecosystems, and hold governments, corporations and financial institutions accountable for the damages and injustices they inflict upon our communities.
#EndFossilFuels #FastFairForever
How many more billions are STILL going to be poured into harmful industries that are pushing us towards climate destruction before real action is taken?
📢 Let’s stand together to demand Global North countries to #FixTheFinance & #EndFossilFuels!
