@DickDurbin Since Boeing announced they would be moving their HQ to Chicago in 2001, the City of Chicago has paid them $29 million in tax reimbursements; become a champion: Stand for No War, No Warming. And divest from Boeing! https://t.co/vYetRQjHKS

"A lot of the work being done on the ground... Feminists... they are working day and night because we really want to have the better life that we're all fighting for. And our real solutions are actual real solutions, they live with the people." — Sophie Ogutu
"One of the first things that caught my attention was that militarization was not on the agenda for #COP26... Shouldn't this be a space where we talk about monetization with the US military being the largest polluter?" — Sheila Jack, @mccaguam#FeministPeaceInitiative
"The safest thing we can do is to reduce military spending if we ever want to reduce emissions. ... Our real solutions lie with the people. Feminists have the solutions." -- Sophie Ogutu, World March of Women, Kenya #COP26#FeministPeaceInitiative

A few weeks ago I was at both borders: Mexico/U.S. & Mexico/Guatemala. I heard from migrants that they were living a prison-like life. I'm hearing the same testimonies from the caravan that is now headed towards the U.S.

Kitzia Esteva, GGJ’s Grassroots Feminism National Organizer: U.S. military is the biggest polluting entity & the largest fossil fuel consumer on earth, enforcing occupation of Indigenous + sovereign lands while upholding violent resource extraction #FeministPeaceInitiative#COP26
We're at #COP26Glasgow with some of our closest allies. On 11/6 we marched with about 1/4m people around the globe to demand real solutions to the #climatecrisis & #justtransition. This a.m., @EJPajaro facilitated a panel on Just Transition & Neoliberalism.
Today at our #COP26 Grassroots Feminism & #ClimateJustice panel feminist leaders on the frontlines of #ClimateCrisis & fossil fuel resistance-from Oakland to Oklahoma, Kenya to Miami-demand to divest from violent extractive economies to invest in a feminist care economy of life!
