People vs. Fossil Fuels: October in Washington, D.C. October 11-15, 2021 #BuildBackFossilFree
President Biden has a choice to make: Will he side with the people or a few fossil fuel executives? It’s a test with results that will determine the future of our planet and the well-being of future generations. In peaceful demonstrations, we are putting our bodies on the line to ensure President Biden passes this crucial test.
Actions will take place every day between October 11 and 15. Nonviolent direct action trainings and legal briefings will be held each evening, starting October 10.
