In an unprecedented moment of bravery for a stateside transgressive climate action, two beautiful activists cover the Little Dancer in an improving mix of black and white - highlighting the dire need to turn our attention to humanity’s greatest threat - climate Change.

 

The two protesters, Joanna and Tim, sat and peacefully improved the statues casing to the surprise of onlookers. It was nevertheless poorly received by onsite security, as Tim and Joanna saw themselves dragged to the underground security layer and shipped to a local precinct to be booked.

Federal charges have been leveled at the duo and the incitement aims to make an example of these two.

The climate movement known as Declare Emergency takes credit for designing the action. They are part of a global network of activists known as the #A22Network who’ve been improving artwork and drawing unprecedented attention to masterpieces and the climate change all over the world.

The network may also disrupt competitive events or other events which might not be pulling their weight for Mother Earth at this critical time.’

If you choose to help with these tasks, you need only join up through their website, DeclareEmergency.org. Don’t try this alone. It’s more fun with friends. (So we heard).

In related news a petition has begun to circulate to free the two. 

 

SMALL NUMBERS, BIG IMPACT

hosted by XR NYC

September 28th, 6:30-7:30, EST

Four civil disobedience activists (including one rebel) blocked the road to the Burning Man festival. It generated hundreds of media stories.

Another rebel glued his feet to the floor of Arthur Ashe stadium and stopped a US Open semi-final game for 49 minutes. It generated thousands of media hits worldwide, inserted the topic of climate emergency where it is least seen - the sports pages.

Would you like to be a part of this new wave of climate actions, where a small number of brave people can make a big impact?

Come learn from these two rebels. It's not hard. It just needs a bit of pluck, a bit of creativity, and a straightforward message.

“What are our responsibilities at this time? Because of the fossil fuel industry, we are facing horrors of a magnitude never before experienced in our existence.

Our methods must be disruptive, and they must be nonviolent. Our actions are evidence-based, credible, and we have a plan. The only thing missing at this point in time is YOU!”
