Justice Friday "Making My Voice Be Heard"

“There comes a time when you need to take a stand. When sending letters and

signing petitions isn’t enough. When together we must say,

“enough is enough — not on our watch.”

That time is now. We must act together for the health of our planet, our air, our

water, our climate, and our children.”

-Adding huge additional amounts of CO2 to atmosphere and accelerating the effects of Climate Change

-Pollution of local watersheds affecting health and subsistence of local indigenous cultures.

-Likely numerous pipeline leaks and spills affecting pristine areas of US, important rivers, Ogallalla acquifer, farmland, etc….

-Delaying our transition to a cleaner energy future, and sending a signal that it is OK to continue exploiting unconventional dirty fossil fuels.
