That\u2019s never happened before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, the sick, corrupt president was impeached and acquitted by sick, corrupt Republican senators, but Antartica reached 65 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is yet another unimaginable wake up call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re also hearing reports now that possibly one billion animals died in the catastrophic fires in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catastrophic climate change is not coming in 50 or 100 years. It\u2019s upon us now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greta Thunberg is right: \u201cOur house is on fire. We better respond to that.\u201d This is \u201cthe biggest crisis humanity has ever faced,\u201d she said. \u201cFirst we have to realize this and then as fast as possible do something to stop the emissions and try to save what we can save.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5b56312af8370a043a305e67\/1581371109067-VL3PUA5ASGGRLNTX6NW1\/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kDHPSfPanjkWqhH6pl6g5ph7gQa3H78H3Y0txjaiv_0fDoOvxcdMmMKkDsyUqMSsMWxHk725yiiHCCLfrh8O1z4YTzHvnKhyp6Da-NYroOW3ZGjoBKy3azqku80C789l0mwONMR1ELp49Lyc52iWr5dNb1QJw9casjKdtTg1_-y4jz4ptJBmI9gQmbjSQnNGng\/JaneFonda2.JPG?format=1000w\" alt=\"JaneFonda2.JPG\"\/><figcaption>(Pace e Bene\/John Dear)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want you to act as if the house is on fire, because it is,\u201d she said last month in Davos. Inaction, she said, is \u201cfueling the flames by the hour &#8230; Act as if you loved your children above all else.\u201d She called upon everyone to end investment in fossil fuel exploration, extraction and subsidies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why on Friday, a thousand of us gathered at the Los Angeles City Hall for another Fire Drill Fridays rally, march and action, led by 82-year-old Jane Fonda. I was arrested just before Christmas with Jane and 140 others in Washington, D.C. for sitting in at the Hart Senate Office Building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, we\u2019ve moved west. We gathered on a sunny afternoon amidst the L.A. palm trees on a green lawn beside City Hall. We sang and chanted, and held a wild variety of homemade signs (\u201cWeather to be or not to be,\u201d \u201cDiet Change for Climate Change,\u201d \u201cStop Denying the earth is dying,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m with her,\u201d followed by an arrow pointing to Mother Earth, and so forth.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jane Fonda was fabulous. She took the makeshift stage in her red coat and hat and launched into a brilliant, clear speech calling upon California, and the rest of the nation and the world, to stop all new oil wells. The key, she said, was fossil fuel drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We only have ten years, she said, quoting a recent statement by thousands of scientists, so we have to stop the drilling, and gradually, close all our wells, and end all our drilling. That, she said, is the key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some places like California have begun the journey toward alternative solar and wind energy, which she praised. But that is only half the task, she insisted. We have to stop the drilling for fossil fuels within ten years, or we are doomed. She explained how few leaders have dared to challenge the oil companies much less prevent them from drilling, yet that\u2019s the critical task at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5b56312af8370a043a305e67\/1581371227399-ATZCI6X26A77PMDPNZUA\/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kAvdkb3CNuXChRgEIzwpKrAUqsxRUqqbr1mOJYKfIPR7LoDQ9mXPOjoJoqy81S2I8PaoYXhp6HxIwZIk7-Mi3Tsic-L2IOPH3Dwrhl-Ne3Z2CHkir-BWnn8JnIyn7v-fE5S1T7ENgwaqkmWtynw5yGzvOzbI-NzUQK-lrlmb-Qyr\/JaneFonda4.jpg?format=1000w\" alt=\"JaneFonda4.jpg\"\/><figcaption> (Pace e Bene\/John Dear) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, she said, California and the nation should not approve one new drilling site. But at the moment, the California governor has thousands of requests to start new drillings on his desk. He must not sign one of them, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is the front lines of the climate crisis,\u201d she said, referring to the West Coast. \u201cThe wildfires and the long droughts and \u2026 the horrible diseases \u2014cancer and asthma and birth defects \u2014 suffered by the people who live in the shadow of the oil drilling &#8230; this is the fifth-largest economy on the planet \u2014 literally what happens here can affect the rest of the country and the rest of the world!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then she welcomed 97-year-old television producer Norman Lear, who got out of his wheel chair, climbed up to the podium and said he couldn\u2019t miss this day no matter what. He was here, he said, for his children and grandchildren and future generations, like the rest of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then Jane brought up nearly two dozen celebrities. I\u2019m too old to know who they were, but I recognized Joaquin Phoenix and one of the Harry Potter stars. They were all gracious, and proceeded to take turns introducing local frontline activists who have been laboring for climate justice their entire lives, wonderful activists like Nalleli Cobo, Cesar Aguirre and Don Martin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re here to demand California\u2019s leaders put a stop to fossil fuel expansion,\u201d Annie Leonard, the great director of Greenpeace told the press. \u201cWe have the solutions to climate change right now \u2014 a Green New Deal, no new fossil fuels, and a just transition to 100 percent renewables \u2014 we just need leaders with the political will to enact them. Our house is on fire. It\u2019s time our leaders started acting like it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5b56312af8370a043a305e67\/1581371293119-LX5V1T84P5SZAXG4DXAP\/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kFr-MCz83LG2ZqzGFu9uALUUqsxRUqqbr1mOJYKfIPR7LoDQ9mXPOjoJoqy81S2I8N_N4V1vUb5AoIIIbLZhVYxCRW4BPu10St3TBAUQYVKcf42APUzg73I6BbvkUSZBpJhcOgRzHbaVuNgQSOKA8C5AwPhW16geOHSxinwWbjVI\/JaneFonda3.jpg?format=1000w\" alt=\"JaneFonda3.jpg\"\/><figcaption> (Pace e Bene\/John Dear) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greenpeace USA and Fire Drill Fridays partnered with environmental justice coalition STAND-L.A. to co-organize this first Friday Drill Friday in Los Angeles, home to the largest urban oil field in the nation. A coalition of frontline communities impacted by urban oil drilling and public health and environmental justice organizations, STAND-L.A.\u2019s campaign urges the Los Angeles City Council to establish a 2,500-foot health and safety buffer separating oil extraction from homes, schools, parks and other sensitive land uses. In the South Coast Air Basin, over 620,000 people \u2014 primarily low-income communities and communities of color \u2014 live within a half mile of an active oil well, exposed to health risks such as asthma and other respiratory illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis Fire Drill Friday should come as a red alert to the Los Angeles City Council and our governor: we will keep speaking our truth to power until you act,\u201d 19-year-old activist Nalleli Cobo said. \u201cMy own health has been sacrificed too many times to stay quiet. My neighbors have been sacrificed too many times to stay quiet. The oil industry has sacrificed our climate future for too long to stay quiet. We need our city and state leaders to stop staying quiet when it comes to public health and our future.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cobo has been an advocate with STAND-L.A. since age nine, when she was sent to the hospital with health complications from exposure to emissions from the oil wells operating near her home. \u201cThe oil industry has no place in our neighborhoods \u2014 and no place in Los Angeles\u2019 future,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the rally, we marched several blocks to Pershing Square for another brief rally, while Jane and a few young folk marched on to the building which houses \u201cMaverick Natural Resources,\u201d which operate oil and gas wells throughout South California and the Central Valley. They sat in but weren\u2019t arrested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCivil disobedience has to become the new normal,\u201d Jane said as we left City Hall. \u201cWe have marched, we have petitioned, we have written, we have lobbied \u2014 and they haven\u2019t listened. So we\u2019re going to have to become bigger and bigger and become an army that shuts the government down if needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That sounds like an appropriate response given the reality that Antartica is melting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out John\u2019s recent books <a href=\"https:\/\/paceebene.org\/store\/they-will-inherit-the-earth-peace-and-nonviolence-in-a-time-of-climate-change\"><em>They Will Inherit the Earth: Peace and Nonviolence in a time of Climate Change<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/paceebene.org\/store\/praise-be-peace\"><em>Praise Be Peace: The Psalms of Peace in a time of War and Climate Change<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joined by a thousand activists, Jane Fonda took her Fire Drill Fridays protests to Los Angeles to force action for climate change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":403,"featured_media":50891,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[17,33,55,83,95],"region":[65],"series":[],"article_type":[],"class_list":["post-50890","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environment","tag-climate-change","tag-fossil-fuels","tag-marches","tag-sit-ins","tag-united-states","region-north-america"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.2 (Yoast SEO v28.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fire Drill Fridays sounds the alarm in California - Campaign Nonviolence<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Joined by a thousand activists, Jane Fonda took her Fire Drill Fridays protests to Los Angeles to force action for climate change.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/cnv\/2020\/02\/in-los-angeles-for-fire-drill-friday\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Fire Drill Fridays sounds the alarm in California\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Joined by a thousand activists, Jane Fonda took her Fire Drill Fridays protests to Los Angeles to force action for climate change.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/cnv\/2020\/02\/in-los-angeles-for-fire-drill-friday\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Campaign Nonviolence\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-02-11T20:13:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-02-26T16:48:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/cnv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/02\/49505420396_a7c3f71f7a_o.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"532\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Rev.
