== Mission Statement ==

The Occupy Boston Climate Action, Sustainability and Environmental Justice (CASEJ) Working Group seeks to provide a space where members of the Occupy/99% Movement and their allies can come together to help create a more just and sustainable world, locally and globally. We will accomplish this goal by:

*Educating ourselves and our communities about climate change and the environmental issues and creative solutions before us;
*Building Diverse Alliances within and beyond the Occupy/99% Movement to increase our collective power; and
*Taking Non-Violent Direct Action to confront the social, economic and political forces causing environmental injustice and highlight a new paradigm for life on earth, both human and non-human.

== Passed Proposals ==

... that relate to our mission

Recently passed [[http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/18/ob-calls-corporate-abuse-contributing-climate-change/ "Call to Action"]] about egregious corporate assault on the environment.

On February 4, 2012, members of CASEJ brought the following proposal to the Occupy Boston General Assembly, which was passed by consensus.  See also [http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/06/occupy-boston-supports-fossil-fuel-nuclear-subsidies/ http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/06/occupy-boston-supports-fossil-fuel-nuclear-subsidies.]

''The below proposal reached agreement at OB General Assembly, on February 4, 2012.''

Fossil fuel and nuclear corporations are some of the wealthiest interests on the planet – yet they still suck up billions of dollars in government subsidies. They buy off elected officials and corrupt our political process while sticking us – the 99% – with the bill for the health, ecological and climate destruction they cause. Their coal, oil, gas and nukes fuel our unjust economic systems, imperil our planetary future and prevent us from shifting to a clean energy economy of, by and for the people.

Occupy Boston therefore calls for:

*An end to all government subsidies to fossil fuel and nuclear energy interests;
*An end to corporate influence, including energy industry influence, on politics;
*Immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations to below the safe atmospheric threshold of 350 parts per million CO2e; starting with the rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline;
*A just transition for workers currently employed in fossil fuel and nuclear energy sectors to sustainable employment.

We pledge to make personal and group choices that support these aims.

Climate Action, Sustainability, and Environmental Justice (CASEJ)

2012-05-09T00:39:07Z

Kathryn: /* Actions and Events */

This is the '''Climate Action, Sustainability, and Environmental Justice'''''(CASEJ)''' Working Group wiki page. This working group seeks to provide a space where members of the Occupy/99% Movement and their allies can come together to help create a more just and sustainable world, locally and globally.

'''Meetings:'''

== Mission Statement ==

The Occupy Boston Climate Action, Sustainability and Environmental Justice (CASEJ) Working Group seeks to provide a space where members of the Occupy/99% Movement and their allies can come together to help create a more just and sustainable world, locally and globally. We will accomplish this goal by:

*Educating ourselves and our communities about climate change and the environmental issues and creative solutions before us;
*Building Diverse Alliances within and beyond the Occupy/99% Movement to increase our collective power; and
*Taking Non-Violent Direct Action to confront the social, economic and political forces causing environmental injustice and highlight a new paradigm for life on earth, both human and non-human.

In addition, Spectra Energy’s proposed pipelines would spur an increase in fracking, a toxic gas drilling technique that is [http://www.alternet.org/fracking/155022/the_human_cancer_risks_posed_by_extreme_fossil_fuel_extraction already poisoning the health and water of local communities all over the world, ]without doing anything to address the climate crisis.  [http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2012/03/01/428764/ddrop-in-warming-requires-rapid-massive-deployment039-of-zero-carbon-power-not-gas/ A recent study from Stanford climatologist Ken Caldiera] found that a large-scale shift from coal to gas would have a negligible impact on global temperatures.

... that relate to our mission

Recently passed [[http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/18/ob-calls-corporate-abuse-contributing-climate-change/ "Call to Action"]] about egregious corporate assault on the environment.

On February 4, 2012, members of CASEJ brought the following proposal to the Occupy Boston General Assembly, which was passed by consensus.  See also [http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/06/occupy-boston-supports-fossil-fuel-nuclear-subsidies/ http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/06/occupy-boston-supports-fossil-fuel-nuclear-subsidies.]

''The below proposal reached agreement at OB General Assembly, on February 4, 2012.''

Fossil fuel and nuclear corporations are some of the wealthiest interests on the planet – yet they still suck up billions of dollars in government subsidies. They buy off elected officials and corrupt our political process while sticking us – the 99% – with the bill for the health, ecological and climate destruction they cause. Their coal, oil, gas and nukes fuel our unjust economic systems, imperil our planetary future and prevent us from shifting to a clean energy economy of, by and for the people.

Occupy Boston therefore calls for:

*An end to all government subsidies to fossil fuel and nuclear energy interests;
*An end to corporate influence, including energy industry influence, on politics;
*Immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations to below the safe atmospheric threshold of 350 parts per million CO2e; starting with the rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline;
*A just transition for workers currently employed in fossil fuel and nuclear energy sectors to sustainable employment.

We pledge to make personal and group choices that support these aims.

''The below proposal reached agreement at OB General Assembly, on February 4, 2012.''

Fossil fuel and nuclear corporations are some of the wealthiest interests on the planet – yet they still suck up billions of dollars in government subsidies. They buy off elected officials and corrupt our political process while sticking us – the 99% – with the bill for the health, ecological and climate destruction they cause. Their coal, oil, gas and nukes fuel our unjust economic systems, imperil our planetary future and prevent us from shifting to a clean energy economy of, by and for the people.

Occupy Boston therefore calls for:

*An end to all government subsidies to fossil fuel and nuclear energy interests;
*An end to corporate influence, including energy industry influence, on politics;
*Immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations to below the safe atmospheric threshold of 350 parts per million CO2e; starting with the rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline;
*A just transition for workers currently employed in fossil fuel and nuclear energy sectors to sustainable employment.

We pledge to make personal and group choices that support these aims.

== Mission Statement ==

The Occupy Boston Climate Action, Sustainability and Environmental Justice (CASEJ) Working Group seeks to provide a space where members of the Occupy/99% Movement and their allies can come together to help create a more just and sustainable world, locally and globally. We will accomplish this goal by:

*Educating ourselves and our communities about climate change and the environmental issues and creative solutions before us;
*Building Diverse Alliances within and beyond the Occupy/99% Movement to increase our collective power; and
*Taking Non-Violent Direct Action to confront the social, economic and political forces causing environmental injustice and highlight a new paradigm for life on earth, both human and non-human.

== Mission Statement ==

The Occupy Boston Climate Action, Sustainability and Environmental Justice (CASEJ) Working Group seeks to provide a space where members of the Occupy/99% Movement and their allies can come together to help create a more just and sustainable world, locally and globally. We will accomplish this goal by:

*Educating ourselves and our communities about climate change and the environmental issues and creative solutions before us;
*Building Diverse Alliances within and beyond the Occupy/99% Movement to increase our collective power; and
*Taking Non-Violent Direct Action to confront the social, economic and political forces causing environmental injustice and highlight a new paradigm for life on earth, both human and non-human.

... that relate to our mission

Recently passed [[http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/18/ob-calls-corporate-abuse-contributing-climate-change/ "Call to Action"]] about egregious corporate assault on the environment.

On February 4, 2012, members of CASEJ brought the following proposal to the Occupy Boston General Assembly, which was passed by consensus.  See also [http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/06/occupy-boston-supports-fossil-fuel-nuclear-subsidies/ http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/06/occupy-boston-supports-fossil-fuel-nuclear-subsidies.]

''The below proposal reached agreement at OB General Assembly, on February 4, 2012.''

Fossil fuel and nuclear corporations are some of the wealthiest interests on the planet – yet they still suck up billions of dollars in government subsidies. They buy off elected officials and corrupt our political process while sticking us – the 99% – with the bill for the health, ecological and climate destruction they cause. Their coal, oil, gas and nukes fuel our unjust economic systems, imperil our planetary future and prevent us from shifting to a clean energy economy of, by and for the people.

Occupy Boston therefore calls for:

*An end to all government subsidies to fossil fuel and nuclear energy interests;
*An end to corporate influence, including energy industry influence, on politics;
*Immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations to below the safe atmospheric threshold of 350 parts per million CO2e; starting with the rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline;
*A just transition for workers currently employed in fossil fuel and nuclear energy sectors to sustainable employment.

We pledge to make personal and group choices that support these aims.

... that relate to our mission

Recently passed [[http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/18/ob-calls-corporate-abuse-contributing-climate-change/ "Call to Action"]] about egregious corporate assault on the environment.

On February 4, 2012, members of CASEJ brought the following proposal to the Occupy Boston General Assembly, which was passed by consensus.  See also [http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/06/occupy-boston-supports-fossil-fuel-nuclear-subsidies/ http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/06/occupy-boston-supports-fossil-fuel-nuclear-subsidies.]

''The below proposal reached agreement at OB General Assembly, on February 4, 2012.''

Fossil fuel and nuclear corporations are some of the wealthiest interests on the planet – yet they still suck up billions of dollars in government subsidies. They buy off elected officials and corrupt our political process while sticking us – the 99% – with the bill for the health, ecological and climate destruction they cause. Their coal, oil, gas and nukes fuel our unjust economic systems, imperil our planetary future and prevent us from shifting to a clean energy economy of, by and for the people.

Occupy Boston therefore calls for:

*An end to all government subsidies to fossil fuel and nuclear energy interests;
*An end to corporate influence, including energy industry influence, on politics;
*Immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations to below the safe atmospheric threshold of 350 parts per million CO2e; starting with the rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline;
*A just transition for workers currently employed in fossil fuel and nuclear energy sectors to sustainable employment.

We pledge to make personal and group choices that support these aims.

The Occupy Boston Climate Action, Sustainability and Environmental Justice (CASEJ) Working Group seeks to provide a space where members of the Occupy/99% Movement and their allies can come together to help create a more just and sustainable world, locally and globally. We will accomplish this goal by:

*Educating ourselves and our communities about climate change and the environmental issues and creative solutions before us;
*Building Diverse Alliances within and beyond the Occupy/99% Movement to increase our collective power; and
*Taking Non-Violent Direct Action to confront the social, economic and political forces causing environmental injustice and highlight a new paradigm for life on earth, both human and non-human.

Recently passed [[http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/18/ob-calls-corporate-abuse-contributing-climate-change/ "Call to Action"]] about egregious corporate assault on the environment.

On February 4, 2012, members of CASEJ brought the following proposal to the Occupy Boston General Assembly, which was passed by consensus.  See also [http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/06/occupy-boston-supports-fossil-fuel-nuclear-subsidies/ http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/06/occupy-boston-supports-fossil-fuel-nuclear-subsidies.]

''The below proposal reached agreement at OB General Assembly, on February 4, 2012.''

Fossil fuel and nuclear corporations are some of the wealthiest interests on the planet – yet they still suck up billions of dollars in government subsidies. They buy off elected officials and corrupt our political process while sticking us – the 99% – with the bill for the health, ecological and climate destruction they cause. Their coal, oil, gas and nukes fuel our unjust economic systems, imperil our planetary future and prevent us from shifting to a clean energy economy of, by and for the people.

Occupy Boston therefore calls for:

*An end to all government subsidies to fossil fuel and nuclear energy interests;
*An end to corporate influence, including energy industry influence, on politics;
*Immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations to below the safe atmospheric threshold of 350 parts per million CO2e; starting with the rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline;
*A just transition for workers currently employed in fossil fuel and nuclear energy sectors to sustainable employment.

We pledge to make personal and group choices that support these aims.

We will accomplish this goal by:

*Educating ourselves and our communities about climate change and the environmental issues and creative solutions before us;
*Building Diverse Alliances within and beyond the Occupy/99% Movement to increase our collective power; and

Recently passed [[http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/18/ob-calls-corporate-abuse-contributing-climate-change/ "Call to Action"]] about egregious corporate assault on the environment.

On February 4, 2012, members of CASEJ brought the following proposal to the Occupy Boston General Assembly, which was passed by consensus.  See also [http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/06/occupy-boston-supports-fossil-fuel-nuclear-subsidies/ http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/06/occupy-boston-supports-fossil-fuel-nuclear-subsidies.]

''The below proposal reached agreement at OB General Assembly, on February 4, 2012.''

Fossil fuel and nuclear corporations are some of the wealthiest interests on the planet – yet they still suck up billions of dollars in government subsidies. They buy off elected officials and corrupt our political process while sticking us – the 99% – with the bill for the health, ecological and climate destruction they cause. Their coal, oil, gas and nukes fuel our unjust economic systems, imperil our planetary future and prevent us from shifting to a clean energy economy of, by and for the people.

Occupy Boston therefore calls for:

*An end to all government subsidies to fossil fuel and nuclear energy interests;
*An end to corporate influence, including energy industry influence, on politics;
*Immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations to below the safe atmospheric threshold of 350 parts per million CO2e; starting with the rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline;
*A just transition for workers currently employed in fossil fuel and nuclear energy sectors to sustainable employment.

We pledge to make personal and group choices that support these aims.
