The climate crisis threatens our homes, health, and happiness, and promises to exacerbate existing inequalities. Unless significant action is taken, these threats will quickly multiply. The time for business as usual and empty promises is over. We need real action at COP26! Our main demands are: - Indigenous sovereignty - Phase out fossil fuels - Just transition for communities and workers - Global Justice. We need the Canadian government and other Global North countries to move beyond climate negotiations and move toward climate justice. Without the voices of the Most Affected Peoples and Areas, COP26 will not achieve climate action.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1015886509255770/">https://www.facebook.com/events/1015886509255770/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________ </span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#00B050'>For the best Canadian climate and energy news, visit and subscribe to the Energy Mix newsletter<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://theenergymix.com/">http://theenergymix.com/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#00B050'>Democracy Now Daily Show - global peace, justice and enviro news<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.democracynow.org/">https://www.democracynow.org/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Submissions, subscribes, unsubscribes, and comments: <a href="mailto:angela@cleanairalliance.org">angela@cleanairalliance.org</a></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
