\nEPA Administrator Scott Pruitt has proposed
a rule that would ban the EPA from utilizing scientific studies unless
That means we lose the right to learn from the very studies t hat allow scientists to draw significant conclusions about environmental t hreats to health.

We nee d as many people as possible to speak out in favor of basing health policy on sound science. It’s not hard—you will speak in your own personal voice \, whether as a health professional\, a scientist\, or a concerned citizen .

u to join us on Saturday\, September 8th to Rise for Clim

have endorsed an intersectional climate justice platform: we oppose constr

sure 105\, and we support frontline leaders developing solutions that chan
ge the rules and draw down wealth and power\, like the Portland Clean Ener
gy Fund. Across the country\, and around the world\, our communities will
Rise for Climate\, Jobs\, and Justice and we will Rise for Climate Action
aimed at communicating to global and local leaders that a strong US climat
e movement exists and that the time has come to hold our leaders accountab
le.
The increasing frequency of hurricanes and heat waves\, heat-related illne sses and changes in infectious illnesses like Zika virus call for personal and societal attention. A multidisciplinary panel will address how climat e affects physical and mental health—of both individuals and communities—a nd highlight existing resources and approaches to developing resiliency.\n

After nearly a decade overseas as a war re
porter\, the acclaimed journalist Dahr Jamail returned to America to renew
his passion for mountaineering\, only to find that the slopes he had once
climbed have been irrevocably changed by climate disruption. In response\
, Jamail embarks on a journey to the geographical front lines of this cris
is—from Alaska to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef\, via the Amazon rainfore
st—in order to discover the consequences to nature and to humans of the lo
ss of ice.
In The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Mean ing in the Path of Climate Disruption \, we follow Jamail as he scale s Denali\, the highest peak in North America\, dives in the warm crystal w aters of the Pacific only to find ghostly coral reefs\, and explores the t undra of St. Paul Island where he meets the last subsistence seal hunters of the Bering Sea and witnesses its melting glaciers. Accompanied by clima te scientists and people whose families have fished\, farmed\, and lived i n the areas he visits for centuries\, Jamail begins to accept the fact tha t Earth\, most likely\, is in a hospice situation. Ironically\, this allow s him to renew his passion for the planet’s wild places\, cherishing Earth in a way he has never been able to before.
\nLike no other book\, < em>The End of Ice offers a firsthand chronicle—including photographs throughout of Jamail on his journey across the world—of the catastrophic r eality of our situation and the incalculable necessity of relishing this v ulnerable\, fragile planet while we still can

\nWe ar e joining with the Sunrise Movement\, Youth vs. Apocalypse\, together with medical and other health professional students from around the Bay Area.< /p>\n
Where: BlackRock Headquarters\, 400 Howard Street \, San Francisco.
\nWhen: We will gather at 9:30 am as Bay Area medical students\, doctors\, nurses and othe r health professionals distribute medical excuse notes at an “Urgent Clima te Care Clinic” and share information about the health impacts of climate change.
\nPlease join us at this clinic and wear your white coats if possible – look for the SF Bay Area PSR banner!
\nThen\, at 10 am\, we will share in the rally and speeches . At 12:30 pm\, we will march to the offices of legislati ve leaders to demand greater action on climate justice.
\nBlackRock manages over $6 trillion in investments and has stated that pro-climate in vestments are among its top 5 priorities\, although in reality\, the firm invests heavily in anti-planet\, anti-justice industries. It is the larges t investor in the world in coal exploration and infrastructure\, the large st contributor to the deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest\, and one of the largest investors in oil and gas production. BlackRock has been accuse d repeatedly of “greenwashing” by speaking in broad terms of building a be tter world and making token gestures\, while putting their vast resources at the disposal of those very industries which are actively destroying the planet. In addition\, BlackRock is a huge investor in the private prison industry which is currently allying with the Trump Administration to cage children and other migrants at our southern border\, and to incarcerate pe ople of color at hugely disproportionate rates.
\nWe join our allies in demanding that BlackRock divest from all industries that perpetuate an d accelerate our climate crisis\, that they push themselves and their clie nts to transition to a Green New Deal economy that builds a sustainable so lution for our planetary crisis. We call on Blackrock to take a leading ro le in pushing the entire financial and industrial sectors to comply with i nternational climate agreements like the Paris Accord. We also demand that BlackRock divest entirely from the private prison industry.

The subtle and deadly change of heart that might occur in you would be involved with the realization that a civilization is not destroyed by wic ked people\; it is not necessary that people be wicked but only that they be spineless. – James Baldwin\, author of The Fire Next Time
\nYou can’t have climate change without sacrifice zones\, and you can’t have sacrifice zones without disposable people\, and you can’t have dispos able people without racism. – Hop Hopkins\, The Sierra Club
\nT oo often climate change\, systemic racism\, and health inequities are seen as siloed and disconnected from one another. This webinar will examine ho w these important issues and concerns intersect and compound each other—of ten with devastating consequences for communities of color. We look forwar d to learning from Hop Hopkins’ experience\, expertise\, and call for a mo re holistic and integrative approach to addressing the host of challenges facing Black and Brown people. Our hope is that after viewing this webinar \, participants will leave with a renewed sense of urgency and more determ ination to be strong advocates and allies for hard-hit and marginalized co mmunities.
