Our original message from September 10 repeats below in case you need a little more context or a reminder of why we say billionaires caused the climate crisis, and why we’re focussed on making billionaires and polluters pay for fossil fueled fascism

September 10 – All year we’ve been telling you about how Trump and his fossil fueled fascist regime profit off genocide and climate collapse. And since August we’ve been telling you about our plans to take the fight to the billionaires because this moment demands mass mobilization.

In less than two weeks, world leaders will gather in New York City for the UN General Assembly and Climate Week. We’re showing up with the anti-fascist climate movement to show the world that climate change is real, fossil fuels power authoritarianism, and we the people of the global majority are fighting back.

I want you with us in the streets with us. Here’s how to join:

• Join us in NYC on September 20. You can also get information about busses here, and get march logistics like how to volunteer or where to meet up and find your crew here Make Billionaires Pay march here.
  • Can’t get to NYC? There are Draw the Line Actions happening around the world and Make Billionaires Pay actions in dozens of cities that weekend.
    
    We’ve also partnered with Rally Bus to get folks to the march. There are buses slated to leave from:
    • Albany, NY
    • Boston, MA
    • Philadelphia, PA
    • Washington, DC

The Make Billionaires Pay March is one inflection point in an ever-growing rebellion against the fossil fueled fascist billionaires trying to take control of our government. These protests are one starting point for community organizing. Click here to see our earlier post laying it all our and stay in the loop!

Then, when you’ve marched and rallied, get ready to take Direct Action and Dump Trump on September 23rd! Trump is expected to speak at the United Nations General Assembly on the morning of Tuesday, September 23rd. We’ll be there to meet him and Shut Down Trump and his fossil fueled fascist regime.

Join the Mass Call tomorrow, Thursday, Sept 11 at 6pm EST to learn more about the non-violent civil disobedience planned and how to plug in.

From Texas to Pakistan, flash floods are taking innocent lives because people like Harold Hamm (the billionaire fracking mogul directing Trump’s energy policy) decided their wealth mattered more than the safety of people across the world. Billionaire Peter Thiel (Cofounder of Palantir) uses AI to facilitate ICE raids that tear families apart, airstrikes that level neighborhoods in Gaza, and a whole host of violent endeavors. Then there’s the gaggle of tech billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, who did everything in their power to put Trump back in office.

Join us in the streets on 9/20 to fight back against the oiligarchy. And get the info you need to get connected to our mass action on the 23rd here.
