A “Vaccine” for Violence
In a country rife with gun violence, Philadelphia still stands out. In the past month alone, 12 children have been shot—the youngest just 10 months old. Increasingly, Philadelphia treats gun violence like a contagion, with several programs to prove it—including a branch of Cure Violence Global at Temple University. What does that mean in practice?
All that, plus a
heavy dose of patience.

A “Vaccine” for Violence. December 2019
Sunday, December 1, 2019
Join the December Global Climate Strikes. Friends of the Earth U.S.
The
September 20th Climate Strike was the largest youth-led climate mobilization in
U.S. history. Activists like you stood up and fought back against big
corporations taking advantage of our planet and leaving the most vulnerable
communities to clean up their mess.
But
our fight isn’t over. We won’t rest until we achieve a real and just solution
to climate change. On Friday, December 6th, people across the world will strike
again to demand bold action on the climate crisis. Will you join us?
The
clock is ticking -- we’re running out of time to prevent climate chaos. Our
leaders must take ambitious action before it’s too late.
We
need climate solutions that empower the communities most impacted by the
crisis. Solutions that eliminate all fossil fuels. Solutions that provide a
just transition for workers and others who have been caught in an extractive
economy for far too long. We need to address these problems now -- we
can’t continue passing them off to the next generation. And we need your help
to do it.
Together,
we can move mountains. Activists like you have worked tirelessly to stop
pipelines around the country and hold corporations accountable to the
destruction they cause.
Now,
we’re counting on you to take action again. The planet can’t wait any longer.
We need to stand together, adults and youth alike, and ensure the strike has
maximum impact. Together, we can show our elected officials we won’t back
down.
So,
can we count on you to step up for a future free of climate disaster, Charles?
Standing
with youLiz Butler,
VP of organizing and strategic alliances,
Friends of the Earth
