The richest 1% cause 100x more climate destruction as the poorest 50%. These people have the means to change and their changes would have the biggest impact.

The Rich Are the Ones Burning the Planet

Research repeatedly shows that expanding inequality is intimately tied up with the destruction of the planet. We can’t save the world without taking on the rich.

We at Extinction Rebellion have something to say about tipping points. With regard to traffic, here's an idea: stop driving cars in the city. Join us next Friday, August 16 for a peaceful protest by bicycle for a #CarFree city.

July 7: Twelve climate activists gathered on #RevereBeach to mourn loss of marine life. Dressed in funeral attire and costumed as "ocean people," we shared a eulogy, then walked slowly through crowds of summer revelers. @GovernorHealey enact @JoeBiden 's 30 X 30 pledge statewide!

Energy companies are all over this list of profitable companies that paid *negative* taxes over the past three years. All while they continue to burn fossil fuels and drag their feet on renewables.
