We will stand before whoever is able and willing to judge, or perhaps the silence of extinction, as a generation that willfully and
unnecessarily imposed egregious wrongs on all future generations, depriving them of liberty, property and life. David Orr

Climate Change is not a problem for another generation. President Obama


WE CALL ON THE PRESIDENT AND LEADERS OF ALL NATIONS
TO SIGN AND ENFORCE A SANE AND LIFE SUSTAINING AGREEMENT IN PARIS

Before the end of 2015, the people of the world will know if their leaders will take action on the most critical issue
of human civilization climate change. The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris will determine the
future for life on planet earth, our common home.

As people of the earth and as citizens of the United States, we demand CLIMATE JUSTICE. We will make our voices
heard in Washington: we expect the United States of America to be a leader in addressing climate change by
drastically reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and by making a commitment to keep fossil fuels in the ground.
And we expect the United States to act with compassion toward all the people of the earth who have been harmed
by the impacts of climate change, and economic system and ecological damage we have promoted.

As Pope Francis states in his Encyclical: A true ecological approach always becomes a social approach; it must
integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of
the poor.

We gather together, as different segments of our society, for a common agenda -- a sane, just and compassionate
form of human society on earth, our common home. We acknowledge our dependence on and respect for all life
on the planet. We build on Pope Francis Encyclical structure that focuses on life, justice, and compassion.
