First and foremost a health emergency, COVID-19 has also hit economies like a global tsunami, closing national borders, shuttering factories, slashing consumer demand and slowing global trade. Workers and small businesses are bearing the brunt of the economic fallout. With the pandemic triggering a global economic slowdown, leaders are searching for ways to stabilize impacted industries and shore up their economies. The decisions they make now will have long-lasting effects, so they must choose wisely. Join World Resources Institute on Friday, April 3 at 9:00am ET for the first in a series a virtual seminars about how policymakers and leaders can design coronavirus stimulus packages to create jobs and foster inclusive, sustainable economic growth. WRI economists and policy experts will share lessons from previous economic stimulus packages, highlighting opportunities for ?shovel-ready,? job-creating, high-efficiency, low-carbon infrastructure in China, United States, Africa and elsewhere. Speakers will also explain the negative consequences of propping up failing fossil fuel projects that utilize outdated economic models and past-century technologies, creating air pollution that kills millions of people annually. Finally, our panelists will discuss how it is essential that governments not only jump-start their economies but also protect citizens from major threats of all kinds, including extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and increased water risk driven by climate change.

People in Italy are running out of food and money. A video of a couple begging for a ?50 advance outside a bank, after their shop closed due to the quarantine, is making the rounds. [1] What is happening in Italy after three weeks of lockdown can happen to the rest of us over the next few days too. When 22% of Europeans are already at risk of poverty, this number risks spiralling further. [2] And a national response will not be enough. We need the EU to act as one. Our demand is simple: monthly payments from the EU to ensure people have enough for rent, groceries and bills -- a European basic income during this emergency. Over 130,000 people have signed our petition asking for this, but we need to make sure decision makers hear our demands. [3] Like us, politicians are stuck at home. With your help, we have a plan to reach them in different ways and make this campaign a big success: a.. A Twitter demo: Politicians and journalists are on Twitter even more than usual. So we will take our demonstrations there too, flooding their feed with our demands! With a little money we can place ads on Twitter to amplify our protest. a.. Newspaper ads: Decision makers like Macron, Lagarde and Merkel [4] only read a few newspapers, Politico and the Financial Times among them. Ads in these papers are expensive, but are a sure way to catch their attention. a.. Your video to decision-makers: We?ll ask you to send us a video expressing your concerns surrounding this emergency, explaining why we need a universal basic income. We?ll commission a video-maker to edit and compile them and send the video directly to decision-makers. European leaders meet on a weekly basis so we need to be fast in finding new ways to protest. If we receive enough donations, we can be up and running with this action next week. I'll donate ?3 I'll donate ?5 I'll donate ?10 Low-income families have been and will continue to be hit the worst by the effects of coronavirus. Either families run out of money or parents have to continue working, risking infection. A lot of children don?t get their regular meals at school anymore and most food kitchens are closed. [5] A basic income is a simple and fast solution. In essence, it involves no more than giving people modest, regular and unconditional cash payments -- much like a pension. Until now, it was hard to imagine something like this being taken up by the EU, like so much before the coronavirus hit. Yet even World Bank senior officials are promoting this idea. [6] Our signatures only count if we?re creative with our protest. That?s why we?ve come up with the ideas above. Solidarity is what we people in Europe need and what only we can give each other. Your donation, of whatever amount you can spare, is another way of showing solidarity! I'll donate ?3 I'll donate ?5 I'll donate ?10 The immense outpouring of solidarity and explosion of community organising in direct response to this crisis is heart-warming. All across Europe, people help each other. But this is also the time that the EU needs to boldly step up and take care of its people. A basic income cannot fix everything, but it is what we need right now. With hope, David, J?rg (Germany), Marta (Poland), and the entire WeMove Europe team P.S. Many governments in the EU either have no means or no political will to direct financial support to people losing their income. Unemployment, poverty and homelessness in many European countries may soon reach devastating levels, following in the footsteps of Italy or Spain. The EU must step in before it happens!

Can you chip in $1 to demand Amazon give proper sick pay? Your donation will pay for a mobile billboard to circle the CEO?s mansion to take the workers? voices directly to his door. DONATE $1 NOW While billions of us are in lockdown, the world?s richest man is forcing scared employees to work in warehouses -- where coronavirus outbreaks are rife. Amazon workers are begging their CEO Jeff Bezos to close the warehouses for deep cleaning and give proper sick pay. Bezos? response? If you stay at home, you don?t get paid. That?s an impossible choice for low-paid workers. And that?s how Amazon?s boss is making this pandemic worse -- Bezos is a super-spreader. Right now Bezos is enjoying a luxury quarantine in his D.C mansion. If you chip in today we?ll surround his home with scathing mobile billboards, until he lets up. He won?t be able to look out the window without seeing your message. Can you chip in $1 to win proper sick pay for Amazon workers to help end the crisis? I appreciate this isn?t an easy time financially for many people. We?re all doing the best we can to get through each day, follow the rules and keep each other safe. But if you can afford to donate, this is a direct, practical way to overturn the dangerous policies of one of the biggest corporations in the world. Your donation will help stop Amazon spreading the virus. Chip in $1 to send a billboard to show Bezos that business as usual is over. Now is the best possible moment to strike -- because Amazon workers are striking too. Amazon?s tech workers are lending their support to warehouse and delivery teams. Now it?s up to us to build the pressure to boiling point. A mobile billboard at Jeff Bezos? mansion is a brilliant way to do that. Mobile billboards outside insurance companies got them to pull support for the gigantic Adani coal mine in Australia. And doing the same outside Liverpool FC?s football stadium in England got them to dump dodgy sponsors. In a few seconds, you can chip in a donation that sends a huge billboard to bother Bezos -- and wins sick pay for all Amazon workers. Sitting at home doesn?t have to feel powerless! Yes, I can chip in $1 so everyone is protected.

Act. Grow. A message in support of this petition from Mairead Maguire, Nobel Peace Laureate: "I was in Iraq during the sanctions put on by USA and was horrified to visit hospitals where Iraq children died, without medicine as a result of these barbaric sanctions and war against Iraq. It is estimated that over half a million Iraqi children under age 6 died as a result of sanctions, and I am very sorry and ask for the forgiveness of all those who lost children and families due to the perpetual sanctions and war against their country. It is overdue that USA respect the wishes of Iraqi people and their government and leave Iraq immediately." Just the phase of the mass killing and destruction of Iraq that began 17 years ago, assessed by the most scientifically respected measures available, killed over 1.4 million Iraqis. Join us now in demanding once and for all: U.S. troops out of Iraq! While U.S. troops have been reduced in Iraq, they have never been removed. In January, the Iraqi Parliament voted that all U.S. troops should leave. The U.S. government has refused to leave, and has instead proposed installing ("defensive") missiles in Iraq targeting Iran. While Iran is depicted in U.S. media as an evil enemy, the U.S. military does not claim that Iran is a threat to the actual United States, only to U.S. troops near Iran and U.S. "interests." The refusal to leave and the decision to install missiles endanger Iraq, Iran, the entire region, and a world at risk of nuclear escalation and climate collapse that cannot afford any more wars. The aerial bombardment of Baghdad 17 years ago, which was intended to ?shock and awe? people into terror and submission, followed months of pro-war propaganda in U.S. corporate media and from the U.S. government. Senate Foreign Relations Chair Joe Biden promoted the White House?s lies about weapons of mass destruction, pushed hard for war, and orchestrated hearings that excluded dissenting voices. Many were fooled or claimed to be. Donald Trump?s last public comment on the war before it started was that he supported it. It is now popular in U.S. politics to deny having supported the war, even to claim to have ended it. But there is virtually no discussion of the moral and practical necessity of complying with the wishes of the Iraqi government ? wishes that line up with a demand that many of us have been making for 17 years ? to withdraw all U.S. troops and mercenaries and bases and weapons from Iraqi soil. Click here to join us in making that demand. We'll be able to do more with this petition if you've signed it and if you've asked others to sign it too. After signing the petition, please use the tools on the next webpage to share it with your friends. This work is only possible with your financial support.

The global pandemic is hitting all of us in different ways, and so amongst all the bad news, we want to share with you some progress on the campaign to get Rio Tinto to cut all ties with the coal lobby in Australia. In a report released last week1, Rio Tinto publicly admitted that the Minerals Council of Australia has advocated to undermine the Paris Agreement. Rio Tinto claims to be a climate champion ? they support the Paris Agreement and have a net zero emissions by 2050 target2. This is the best opportunity we?ve had yet to call on Rio Tinto to leave the Minerals Council for good. With more public pressure, we could get them over the line. Can you write to Rio Tinto today calling on them to cut all ties with the Minerals Council of Australia? If Rio Tinto wants to be taken seriously on climate action, it has to leave the Minerals Council. They currently pay 2.1 million US dollar a year to be a member of one of the world?s top ten climate-wrecking lobby groups3, and they?re facing increasing pressure to leave from investors in the lead up to their annual shareholders meeting. Write to Rio Tinto today and tell them to cut all ties with the Minerals Council of Australia. It?s not enough for Rio Tinto to say it wants industry associations to support the Paris Agreement. It needs to walk away from groups like the Minerals Council that don?t measure up to this standard ? it?s that simple.

Here's your Coronavirus Mental Health Break: Last week, you made something amazing happen, Microsoft announced it will sell all of its shares of civil-liberties-abusing facial recognition tech company AnyVision. Microsoft announced it during the Friday afternoon media graveyard shift hoping that no press would pick up the story. But NBC News snapped the story up and credited the human rights organizations involved in the #DropAnyVision campaign for the win! That's right, YOU, yes you were instrumental in forcing Microsoft to respect its own ethical principles in rolling out dangerous facial recognition technology. Now, the world looks a little less like an Orwellian dystopian nightmare because of your actions. Sometimes we think that clicking on a petition doesn't matter, well, in this case SumOfUs members set things in motion, forced the media to scrutinize AnyVision, forced Microsoft to launch an investigation into AnyVision with Eric Holder at the helm and, ultimately, brought down the insidious AnyVision-Microsoft partnerships. When SOU members like you decide to take action, large corporations take notice. The #DropAnyVision campaign was powered by SumOfUs and MPower members under the leadership of Jewish Voices for Peace. In January, the #DropAnyVision campaign held a teach-in and petition delivery at Microsoft campus in Redmond. Activists delivered a 75,000-signature petition, passed out fliers to Microsoft workers and discussed how Microsoft is violating its own six ethical principles on facial recognition technology. Together, we made change happen. Help us continue leading amazing campaigns against digital espionnage and civil rights abuses in this midst of this COVID crisis when the health surveillance state is rising by chipping in a monthly donation.

Message-ID: <45F9466F806742898575E81CF8CB04CA@lewpostnew> Millions have lost their livelihoods and many more will follow as coronavirus-generated recession hits. Ask our leaders to demand solidarity to manage the increased debt! We need to respond to the crisis before EU negotiations on Tuesday. Take action now! Hi, My brother was sent a letter last week: he?s lost his job as the company he worked for is out of business due to the coronavirus crisis. Luckily he has me: I will support him - our parent?s pension isn?t enough. My family is not the only one: millions in Spain, Italy and across Europe have already fallen below the poverty line. Many more will soon follow - and not everyone has a relative who can help. To prop up an economy destroyed by the virus, governments will have to spend billions - which they?ll have to borrow. But access to borrowing is not equal for all: countries that face high-interest rates won?t be able to afford borrowing, and will have to abandon millions of people in devastating economic situations. Nine countries, including France, Italy and Spain are proposing a solution: coronabonds. Basically, pooling the debt of EU countries together, to reduce the difference in the interest rates each country pays on their national debt - so that everyone can borrow. But four leaders are against the idea, including Prime Ministers Rutte in the Netherlands and Merkel in Germany. [1] There is a chance for us to get through to them. Next Tuesday, EU governments will meet in an extraordinary summit. In this moment of crisis, big change is possible and public pressure is needed right now so all the European ministers stand strong behind the proposal. Sign now and we will deliver our message before they meet. Tell Charles Michel we expect united action! Across Europe, states and people are all facing losses of life, jobs and income but some communities have been more affected by coronavirus infections and death than others. Those most affected have seen their healthcare systems stretched beyond their limits, and have been forced to stop all economic activity in order to save lives. It?s not a coincidence that the most affected communities are also those where austerity was more savagely applied in the recent past. In these circumstances, borrowing to save lives and livelihoods is vital. We need to make it possible. Coronabonds are the solution. But last week European heads of state could not come to an agreement, and time is running out. This Tuesday we need them to find common ground. We are in this crisis together and we can only come out of it by working together. We must learn from our common history: it?s when we show solidarity and work together that we do best. When EU governments meet, the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, must know Europeans want equal borrowing for all countries so that people across Europe have an equal chance to come out the other end of this crisis. Ask European governments to take action! People in Europe are showing so much solidarity: from supporting vulnerable neighbours with shopping and other chores to expressing solidarity from balconies. People are playing their part, our governments must do that too. In solidarity, Virginia and the entire WeMove Europe team PS: European leaders got the response to the 2010 crisis wrong, spending trillions of public money on bailing out banks. Let's make sure they get it right this time and spend money on people. Sign now for a bold plan to lift Europe out of economic recession. [1] Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Slovenia and Ireland are in favour of coronabonds, whereas Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Finland are against. https://www.politico.eu/article/virtual-summit-real-acrimony-eu-leaders-clash-over-corona-bonds/ WeMove.EU is a citizens? movement, campaigning for a better Europe; for a European Union committed to social and economic justice, environmental sustainability and citizen-led democracy.

Published on 01/04/2020, 9:34am The coronavirus pandemic has pushed climate diplomacy online, greening much of UN Climate Change?s operations but virtual meeting bring their own challenges The meeting of the Adaptation Committee took place online earlier this month. (Photo: Youtube) By Chlo? Farand As the coronavirus pandemic sweeps across the world, the climate diplomacy that was so critical to leverage governments into strengthening their climate plans this year is moving online. And with it, the tough diplomatic and political ask expected ahead of a critical climate summit in Glasgow, or Cop26, in November has also become a technological challenge. ?Some of us might be cut off or the sound might not work very well so we will need to adjust to that. As the Adaptation Committee, we can do it very well,? smiled Olga Pilifosova, manager of the Adaptation programme at UN Climate Change secretariat, from an online Zoom meeting. Adaptation to the impacts of climate change ? such as heatwaves, floods, and droughts ? is part of a two-pronged UN strategy alongside mitigation, focused on cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The coronavirus which as of Tuesday killed more than 36,500 people worldwide has forced UN Climate Change to find new, greener, ways of working, pushing climate diplomacy into the digital space. The Cop26 presidency team is holding ?virtual trips? and international meetings through video and phone conferences. UN Climate Change announced it won?t hold any physical meetings until the end of April and although a number of meetings have been postponed, smaller sessions have moved online. It?s too early to say whether the pandemic will affect Cop26, and UN Climate Change is set to decide on Wednesday evening about a mid-year session due in Bonn in June. As Zoom diplomacy takes hold, the informal spaces for negotiators to meet at the coffee machine or for a corridor chat have been replaced with a much more streamlined process online. While the cancellation of all carbon-intensive air travel is a positive side effect of the crisis for the international climate community, adapting to virtual meeting brings its own challenges. For many developing countries, where fibre-optic cables are not available and bandwidth is low, connectivity, and therefore participation, has proved difficult at times. Coronavirus slows developing nations? plans to step up climate action in 2020 ?The problem is that in some countries, internet is still an expensive luxury,? Alpha Kaloga, a climate negotiator from Guinea, told Climate Home News. But delay to climate action is not an option. ?Given the urgency of the climate crisis, we want and need the work to get done, but we want it to be inclusive,? Kaloga added. During a virtual meeting of the Warsaw International Mechanism ? the international framework which addresses climate impacts which emissions cuts and adaptation efforts cannot prevent ? one of two African representatives dialling in from Sudan was unable to participate because of low bandwidth. UN Climate Change is working to ensure everyone can participate to online meetings. In 2018, UN Climate Change spent $12 million on travel for participants and staff. Now, its travel team is offering to book delegates with connectivity issues hotel rooms close to their homes, to ensure they can still participate in online sessions. Where possible, other UN regional offices could also be put at delegates? disposal dependent on domestic travel restrictions. And a narrow two-hour window in the middle of day Central European Time has been identified to accommodate the greatest time zone span. It is daytime in Europe and Africa, evening in Asia, early morning in the Americas, but the middle of the night in the Pacific. Japan sticks to 2030 climate goals, accused of a ?disappointing? lack of ambition While virtual meetings are a necessary short-term fix, in the longer- term poorer nations will need additional technological capacity. Tenzin Wangmo, of Bhutan and the lead negotiator for a group of Least Developed Countries (LDC), told CHN that even in small meetings, LDC negotiators often had to turn off the video function to ensure better connection. ?Infrastructure is going to be a challenge for the LDC group. Definitely, it?s going to impact the substance of the discussions,? she said, adding that many LDC countries had just started to work on their new climate plans and much of that work was now halted. ?I don?t think having a meeting using technology can help build trust between each other,? she added. Speaking to CHN, Carlos Fuller, of Belize and lead negotiator of the Alliance of Small Island States (Aosis), said it was difficult to imagine online meetings extending to the whole climate diplomacy process and to the climate talks which bring together nearly 200 countries. ?We [Aosis] interact well because it?s a smaller group and we know each other. But I still want to see how a global meeting is going to work on a Zoom platform,? Fuller said. Wangmo agreed: ?I don?t think we can bring all-party negotiations online. I think that would impact participation.? Part of the reason is that for an online meeting ?to be successful, it is to be short,? Fuller added, finding a silver lining in the need for some efficiency improvement. Climate news in your inbox? Sign up here But efficiency does not necessarily mean the same thing for everyone. ?You end up addressing the most important issues for the most important players,? one developing nation diplomat warned. Virtual meetings also remove the human contact, personal ties and spontaneity in discussions that have long been the hallmark of diplomatic deal-making. Popular online meeting platforms also don?t support instant translations and negotiators can no longer rely on body language. ?Negotiations are like role play and you really need to be face to face to do that,? one diplomat told CHN. ?You get a feeling if there is tension in the room, how people react to propositions and it?s easier to test ideas?. This bargaining aspect of diplomacy has seen negotiators long favour closed doors meetings to broker deals and compromise. Online conversations are much easily recorded, which may allow more transparency but does not suit everyone?s negotiating strategy. ?That changes the type of conversations that can take place,? the diplomat added. Many agree UN Climate Change processes would benefit from more efficient processes, more virtual meetings and less international travel. ?This is forcing us to think about how we operate,? one veteran negotiator told CHN, ?but it is not going to create the dynamic that we need? before Cop26. ?And a crisis coping-mechanism is not necessarily the way we want to adapt in the long term?. -- CAN-talk Listserv | CAN-talk at listi.jpberlin.de | https://listi.jpberlin.de/mailman/listinfo/can-talk | Emails received through CAN-talk are confidential and should not be circulated beyond CAN members unless otherwise stated. -- Subscribe to CAN's ECO Newsletter @ http://climatenetwork.org/eco-newsletters -- -- Best regards, Tatiana Shauro ???????????? ???????? ???????? ?? ????????? ???????

Look at this simple comparison: This is a moment in which our societies can, and likely will, be turned either toward greater violence, resource extraction, and greed, or toward a more sensible and sustainable set of priorities, such as those argued for by World BEYOND War. As a global peace organization, we've always relied on the internet. Now we've dramatically increased our use of videos, webinars, and online gatherings to organize for a global ceasefire and a transfer of resources to systems of defense against actual dangers. This takes funding, and our annual conference (which raises funds as well as activism) has been postponed for a year. Here's what a donation to World BEYOND War can help us do: A $15 USD donation covers our service provider costs to host a free educational webinar, such as the one last night and others recently held. Many more are coming this spring. A $25 donation covers a month?s cost of hosting our website. Our website is in itself an educational and organizing tool with extensive multimedia resources for building a movement to abolish war. A $50 donation covers the costs of a WBW chapter promo pack. Currently, World BEYOND War coordinates 16 chapters in 7 countries with several more in the launch phase. We also maintain partnerships with 82 affiliates around the world. Our chapters work aggressively within their respective legislative structures to redirect resources toward programs that promote social and economic justice. A $75 donation can put 10 copies of our book A Global Security System: An Alternative to War (AGSS) into classrooms. AGSS is a blueprint for abolishing war and replacing it with a sustainable security system. It has already proven to be a useful tool in classrooms across the world. ?What a treasure. It is so well written and conceptualized. The beautiful text and design immediately captured the attention and imagination of my 90 graduate and undergraduate students. Visually and substantively, the clarity of the book appeals to young people in a way textbooks have not.? ?Barbara Wien, American University A $100 donation can translate and publish the summary version of AGSS in another language. It's already in eight! We do so much with so little because we rely heavily on dedicated and talented volunteers for almost everything we do. This model means that your contribution goes very far! A larger donation is much appreciated, but especially appreciated is becoming a recurring donor. For $15 USD a month?less than 50 cents a day?you can contribute to building an on-going sustained movement to abolish war.

Doctors, nurses, and ordinary workers all over have been pushing ahead on the frontlines to slow the rate of transmission. Yet there?ve been some stark reminders that the climate crisis doesn?t stop amid a global pandemic. The strongest storm of the year has just slammed into the Pacific islands of Fiji and Vanuatu. On top of that, fossil fuel companies are exploiting this moment to drive forward more climate-wrecking projects. It?s enraging ? and that?s why it?s so important that we all unite right now around the principles for a Just Recovery from COVID-19. Thousands of organisations and people across the world have already signed on. Our coronavirus response must put people and planet ? not corporations and polluting industries ? first.

In solidarity, Nicole In Case You Missed It Cyclone Harold: A deadly category 5 storm ? the strongest of 2020 so far ? slammed into the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu just as the country declared a national emergency for COVID-19. Some residents have had to ignore distancing orders and seek refuge in evacuation centers. Medical supplies are already scant. The cyclone then ravaged its way through Fiji and Tonga, having already killed 27 people in the Solomon Islands last week. ?We now face two life-threatening disasters at once ? and both threaten the existence of an already disadvantaged people,? said Fenton Lutunatabua, Pacific Managing Director at 350.org. It?s a harrowing example of the injustice of the climate crisis, which hits those who did the least to cause it hardest.

Doctors, nurses, and ordinary workers all over have been pushing ahead on the frontlines to slow the rate of transmission. Yet there?ve been some stark reminders that the climate crisis doesn?t stop amid a global pandemic. The strongest storm of the year has just slammed into the Pacific islands of Fiji and Vanuatu. On top of that, fossil fuel companies are exploiting this moment to drive forward more climate-wrecking projects. It?s enraging ? and that?s why it?s so important that we all unite right now around the principles for a Just Recovery from COVID-19. Thousands of organisations and people across the world have already signed on. Our coronavirus response must put people and planet ? not corporations and polluting industries ? first. It?s the only way we can build back better from this crisis. Please watch and share this new video about the 5 Just Recovery principles now, so that our voices are heard around the globe. In the news below, you?ll find plenty of stories from people keeping up their campaign efforts even in these tough times, giving us all a shot at a more sustainable, just future. In solidarity, Nicole In Case You Missed It Cyclone Harold: A deadly category 5 storm ? the strongest of 2020 so far ? slammed into the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu just as the country declared a national emergency for COVID-19. Some residents have had to ignore distancing orders and seek refuge in evacuation centers. Medical supplies are already scant. The cyclone then ravaged its way through Fiji and Tonga, having already killed 27 people in the Solomon Islands last week. ?We now face two life-threatening disasters at once ? and both threaten the existence of an already disadvantaged people,? said Fenton Lutunatabua, Pacific Managing Director at 350.org. It?s a harrowing example of the injustice of the climate crisis, which hits those who did the least to cause it hardest.

Political leaders have called on the EU to abandon its years-in-the-making Green Deal in favour of coronavirus bailouts for fossil fuel corporations and the banks that invest in them. We've got just days to change minds -- and demand COVID-19 emergency spending that protects both the planet and the people living on it. Sign the petition We can?t go back to business as usual after the COVID-19 crisis ends. A return to ?normal? means more pollution-choked skies, more pesticide-soaked fields, more disappearing forests? and potential consequences thousands of times deadlier than this pandemic. But not everyone understands that yet. As banks, airlines and fossil fuel corporations lobby for bailout money, a group of parliamentarians is already trying to pressure the EU to push back the Green Deal -- a years-in-the-making plan to slash emissions, bring back biodiversity, and complete a fair and just energy transition -- in order to "support businesses" in the wake of the coronavirus. The EU environment committee is meeting in just two weeks to discuss COVID-19 and the Green Deal. Before they destroy all the progress we've made, we must demand the EU use this chance to double down on its green goals -- by creating an emergency spending plan that invests in both people and the planet. Tell the EU: We need a green COVID-19 recovery! Environmental organisations have already written to the presidents of the European Commission, Council and Parliament with these demands -- now it's up to us to rally public support behind them: a.. Make distribution of stimulus funds and bail-outs conditional on consistency with the European Green Deal b.. Reform fiscal rules to ensure continued public investment in decarbonising the economy c.. Launch large-scale sustainable initiatives to employ people affected by the downturn d.. Accelerate EU sustainable finance policies e.. Limit future health crises by acting globally against climate change and biodiversity loss Add your name now -- demand a coronavirus recovery plan that benefits people and the planet. COVID-19 is testing our society like nothing else before it. And while some greedy corporations and governments are taking advantage of the upheaval to further their own selfish agendas, you and the rest of the SumOfUs community are rising to the challenge. We?ve already seen how your pressure helped get UK private hospitals to turn their beds and equipment over to the NHS, and pushed companies like Uber and Amazon to offer some measure of sick leave to delivery drivers on the front lines of the pandemic. But that?s just the beginning. It?s time to think about the world that awaits us once we leave our houses again -- and how we can use this chance to make it better, and greener, than we ever imagined.

Together we must find a way to reach the Baltic region politicians with our message! At the end of the attached document there are some excellent ideas that we could use in our work. Some examples: - Demands aiming at a disengagement zone in the Baltic Sea, the Baltic States and the neighboring Finnish, Polish, German, Russian and Belarusian areas should be raised. - A regional security cooperation, agreed upon at high level, regardless of all political contradictions and differences of opinion, should be set up. - A high-level conference, sponsored by the Heads of States or Governments, within the OSCE frameweork, should be considered, a conference, that without preconditions and in different formats and at different levels, gives advice in regard to the aim of revitalizing the European security architecture, - A sub-regional stability regime for the Baltic region should be built up with the task to limit military capabilities for a surprise attack or for a large-scale aggression after a comprehensive deployment has taken place, and to make military activities predictable. - An area should be created in which both sides must de-escalate. All ideas for how we together could bring these and other peace building ideas forward are warmly welcomed.

Donate $1 now While we worry about loved ones and try to come to terms with a terrifying global pandemic, Dow Chemical has secretly gone back to court to appeal your hard-won ban on bee-killing pesticides in France. It?s the perfect opportunity for Dow -- with the world distracted -- to get the ban overturned and continue lining its pockets by killing our bees. It's a low blow. But this community won't stand for it. Together with our beekeeper friends from the National Union of French Beekeeping and Acting for the Environment we?re mounting a bee-saving legal case to stop Dow. But at times like these, when our resources are stretched thin, more than ever we need your help to keep fighting for the bees, Vladimir. Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card. Can you chip in $1 to help our legal case to save the bees? I don?t know about you. But being out in nature and watching spring unfold, is the one way I find peace and solace in these unsettling times. So when I heard that this pesticide giant is still trying to profit from killing bees and insects, it just broke my heart. So much feels out of our control right now, but protecting these hard-won victories for nature is something that fills me full of purpose. For years, you and I have fought tooth and nail for historic bans on bee-killing pesticides -- and together we can still save them. We?ve still got a good shot at stopping Dow -- we just need to scrape together enough donations to pay these top-notch lawyers. Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card. Please, can you chip in $1 to save the bees? Over the years, you?ve achieved so much in the fight to save the bees: SumOfUs members like you have gone to court before against Dow Chemical -- and won. This is the final appeal, if we win this, Dow will have to accept defeat! And we haven?t got time to lose, especially for the bumblebees: Research published in the prestigious Nature journal found that exposure to Dow?s chemical sulfoxaflor reduced both the size of bumblebee colonies and the number of offspring produced by a whopping 54 percent! If Dow wins this, it would be a huge setback in our global fight to keep the bees safe. It sets a dangerous precedent if France overturns its ban on bee-killing pesticides -- many other countries might follow. Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card. So please, will you chip in $1 to save the bees from deadly pesticides?

Building on this, we're hoping to release a practical, evidence-based guide on how to communicate about climate change during the coronavirus crisis by the end of May, and happy to talk to anyone who might find this useful in the future.

That?s why a leading group of scientists and economists is pushing for a historic recovery package that would feature the fight against climate change, the protection of nature, and help for the world?s most vulnerable populations ? as part of the solution. If they go to the G20 alone, corporate lobbyists will try to dismiss them as out-of-touch elites.

It makes so clear how our planetary crises are deeply interconnected, from COVID-19 to climate change to species extinction. That?s why this expert plan addresses all of these crises, in a way specially designed to make us more resilient by changing how our economy works. It demands that any recovery package focus on: a.. prioritizing climate change and protecting nature: including renewable energy and reforestation b.. helping the most vulnerable: including debt relief for developing countries and raising income for the lowest earners c.. shifting the economy toward sustainability: including eliminating fossil fuel subsidies and introducing a real price on carbon This is what our planet needs, and it?s what all of us need -- a reboot to our unjust economic system. And we may never have this kind of chance again. We know that vast numbers of people support this plan, but we need to show it, and fast, to counter corporate arguments.

They demand a universal basic income, a programme to keep people employed, and massive support for public services and medical research. The letter is making big waves in the media across the world and is a chance to reach politicians in Brussels -- and to renew Europe. ADD YOUR SIGNATURE This open letter was launched on our YouMove platform by a group of economists and academics and endorsed by numerous intellectuals, including Nobel-winning author Olga Tokarczuk, director Agnieszka Holland and the U.S. economist Jeffrey Sachs. We think it may interest you. Hi, Over 200 intellectuals from Europe and beyond signed an open letter to the leaders of the EU urging them to take decisive action during the coronavirus crisis. We face a choice between a renewed Europe or authoritarianism. What will we choose? The letter asks Europe to reinvent itself through a universal basic income, support for enterprises in keeping people employed (in exchange for shares), help for public services and funds for European research on medicine and vaccine. It demands European solidarity, living up to European values and asks not to repeat the mistakes of the crisis of 2008, which gave bailouts to big banks and forced Europeans into a decade of austerity. Among the signatories are economists, academics, politicians, writers, directors and thinkers. Their call was published on the media all over the world, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, Le Soir and El Pais. [1] Right now we must use every single tool available to us to reach the decision-makers in Brussels and urge them to push Europe towards a radical shift. This letter is already making big waves. Will you add your signature? Sign! Quotes from the letter: ?The solutions adopted to combat the pandemic will determine the future of liberal democracy, the economy and European integration.? ?Crisis is a time for making choices. On the one hand, it may lead us to the fall of the European Union and a slipping into chaos and authoritarianism. On the other, however, it can be a chance to renew the social agreement between Europe and its citizens." Thank you! In solidarity, Marta (Warsaw), Giulio (Rome) and the entire WeMove team P.S. Among the over 200 signatories of the letter there is the Nobel-prize winning writer Olga Tokarczuk, director Agnieszka Holland, political author Ulrike Guerot, historian Carlo Ginzburg, writer Fernando Savater and cultural theorist Mieke Bal and many others.

But unless we act now, there is no guarantee that any medicine developed will be affordable and available to all of us. Make medicine affordable Hi, In a few months, treatments and vaccines for COVID-19 will reach hospitals. But some of us may not be able to afford them! This might happen because the EU Health Commissioner and national health ministers have not done anything to stop pharmaceutical companies from charging high prices to healthcare systems for the drugs they develop with our tax money. Right now, the European Commission and our national governments are mobilising millions of euros of public funds to promote research to fight COVID-19. [1] With high prices for drugs, as the virus infects millions in Europe, healthcare systems in wealthier countries like Germany or France may have to choose which citizens get the treatments, while lower-income countries may not be able to afford treatments at all. No one should be denied treatment, whether it?s the elderly, migrants, the poor or the unemployed. The EU Health Commissioner and national health ministers must put conditions on all COVID-19 funding: Any medicine developed must be made affordable to healthcare systems. [2] During this emergency, as decision makers are working from home, our online pressure is especially powerful. If thousands of us sign a massive petition and inundate their new places of work -- Email, Twitter and Facebook -- with messages, our leaders will see that citizens are watching their every move. Together let?s call on them to put public health before private profit. Act now to save lives and make medicine and vaccines available to all If we don?t intervene, companies that receive public money may get exclusive licenses to produce medicine, so that no one else can sell the same drugs or even get access to the medical knowledge required to produce them. This means pharmaceutical companies can charge excessively high prices, making it difficult for even the best healthcare system to buy enough drugs to make them available for everyone. This has already happened in Europe for other life-saving medicine. The Gilead Sciences company - which came under fire for trying to get a patent on COVID-19 vaccines - has a monopoly on a drug to treat Hepatitis C with profits of over EUR 20 billion from this drug alone since 2013. [3] [4] They charge exorbitant prices to European healthcare systems for this drug, and far too many people are denied treatment for this reason. [5] The corona crisis can help us create a model for the future: All future medicine developed with our public money needs to be affordable to our healthcare systems. Period. It?s easy for the health commissioner and our health minister to stop companies exploiting this crisis. It?s up to us to give them a wake-up call. Ensure everyone has access to medicine and vaccines In the past, we?ve proven that our people power can make a difference in protecting our health: whether it's working to increase transparency around pesticides in our agriculture or stopping toxic air pollution from coal plants in Europe. [6] [7] Today, we have the chance to use the coronavirus pandemic as a wake-up call for us all. Not only do we need to make any COVID-19 treatment affordable so we can take care of everyone, but we need to set the precedent that our health needs to take priority over profit.To our health, David, Giulio (Rome), and the entire WeMove Europe team References: [1] In the EU, https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_20_440 In Germany, https://www.bmbf.de/de/karliczek-forschung-fuer-ein-besseres-verstaendnis-des-coronavirus-beschleunigen-11030.html In the UK, https://www.gov.uk/government/news/pm-announces-new-funding-in-fight-against-spread-of-coronavirus In France, https://www.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/cid150453/covid-19-la-recherche-francaise-mobilisee.html [2] https://medicinesalliance.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/COVID-19-RD-public-investments-March.pdf [3] https://www.democracynow.org/2020/4/2/robert_weissman_public_citizen_economy_coronavirus [4]https://hepcoalition.org/news/press-releases/article/hepatitis-c-cure-sofosbuvir-turns-5-years-old-the-vast-majority-of-people-still?lang=en#nb1 [5] Gilead charges as much as ?43,000 for one person?s 12-week treatment of sofosbuvir in Europe https://www.msf.org/msf-and-groups-call-end-gilead%E2%80%99s-hepatitis-c-drug-monopoly-europe-which-blocks-access [6] https://act.wemove.eu/campaigns/clean-up-air-pollution [7] https://act.wemove.eu/campaigns/glyphosate-austria-int-en WeMove.EU is a citizens? movement, campaigning for a better Europe; for a European Union committed to social and economic justice, environmental sustainability and citizen-led democracy.

That's why we can't miss this upcoming chance to finally force KFC and Pizza Hut to take deforestation off their menus. Please, can you use your power as a Yum! Brands shareholder to protect forests and people? Email your pension provider If our forests die, so do we. So why are KFC and Pizza Hut still profiteering from forest destruction? Animal extinction. Uncontrollable wildfires. Global pandemics as bad as COVID-19 -- or worse. That's the future that Yum! Brands, the billionaire multinational that owns KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell, is choosing by refusing to crack down on deforestation across its supply chain. But you -- and your pension plan -- could change that today. We've filed a shareholder proposal for Yum! Brands to be more responsible and transparent about sourcing palm oil, beef and other key ingredients linked to rainforest destruction. A similar proposal got over a third of shareholders' votes last year. Now, for the sake of humanity and the planet we all depend on, we urgently need a majority at Yum!'s annual meeting on May 14. Will you use your shares to force the fast-food giant to act ASAP? Yes -- I'll write my fund manager now to defend rainforests and our planet against reckless fast-food greed. Tell your fund manager to defend the rainforests! Last year's vote at Yum!'s Kentucky HQ wasn't enough to win, but we caught execs' attention -- so much that they tried to use all their legal brass to silence us this year. But they couldn't stop our people power, and neither can COVID-19. Even though we can't travel to Kentucky for next month's shareholder meeting, we'll be there virtually to represent SumOfUs members and rainforests everywhere. If the proposal goes through this time, there's nothing Yum! can do. For the first time ever, this industry laggard will have to take responsibility and ensure that every drop of palm oil and ounce of beef in its restaurants is responsibly sourced -- and massive spans of rainforest and their inhabitants could be spared from destruction. Please, will you use our online tool to put your shares to work now? It's a scary and overwhelming time right now, and the world's most powerful corporations think they can take advantage of the panic, confusion and isolation. From Trump relaxing pollution restrictions in the US to Dow secretly appealing a ban on one of its bee-harming pesticides in France -- they're hoping to use the pandemic as a distraction to further their own selfish goals. But they didn't count on SumOfUs members like you. Just since the beginning of this year, you forced Pepsi to adopt a stronger palm oil sourcing policy. At Apple's shareholder meeting in February, you called out its complicity in the Chinese government's censorship machine and created a media sensation. And together, you're fighting to stop Amazon and big pharmaceutical companies from pandemic profiteering. When people and the planet are at stake, you and the rest of this amazing community spring into action. And that's what's happening with Yum! Brands right now. Can I count on your support?

Most Americans have spent the past few weeks focused on staying safe and protecting their families during the coronavirus pandemic. But the Trump Administration?s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been working to give fossil fuel companies a free pass to pollute ? all at a time when we?re learning that the quality of the air we breathe might be the difference between life and death. In fact, a recent national study from Harvard University found that COVID-19 patients with long-term exposure to air pollution have significantly higher death rates than do those with less consistent exposure to dirty air. While the outcomes of this study are likely to be examined closely in the weeks and months to come, it underlines two things we know to be true: 1.. Exposure to fossil fuel pollution has been linked to several serious respiratory and cardiac diseases. 2.. Existing respiratory and cardiac illness are among the leading conditions tied to the worst health outcomes for patients with COVID-19. What?s also becoming clear is that many of the same communities that routinely experience the impacts of the climate crisis first and worst are also seeing disproportionate levels of severe coronavirus infections and higher rates of death at its hands. Take Action Now The EPA has announced in just the past week that it would not enforce pollution regulations for fossil fuel plants and other facilities, nor will it seek penalties for noncompliance with routine monitoring and reporting obligations. And along with the National Highway Transit Safety Administration, EPA also finalized its undermining of the fuel efficiency standards. We know what comes next. Higher levels of air pollution, which more and more experts agree is increasing the amount of severe illness and death from COVID-19, particularly among low-income families and communities of color. It?s injustice, plain and simple. If EPA won?t honor its own mission to protect human health and the environment, we call on Congress to act and stop EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler from putting our health in danger. Join us in telling Congress that COVID-19 is not an excuse to pollute. Take action now. - Your friends at Climate Reality PS.

SIGN NOW Hi, It?s either already happened to you or someone you know. From one day to the next, the list of people who have lost their source of income and don?t know where to turn is endless. Hairdressers, taxi drivers, restaurant managers, music teachers, gym trainers, hotel receptionists, flight attendants, waiters, tour guides, and countless others don?t know how they?re going to pay their bills. Insecurity is everywhere and can be sensed in every conversation. How long will it last? What shall I do? How much longer will I have to pay for groceries with my savings? That is why European leaders have to step up and say without delay: We will help! The EU has the means and the authority to do it now. Politics are already shifting - even in seemingly unlikely places. The United States government just announced a $1000 payment for all US citizens for two months. [1] The UK government is not excluding a similar measure. [2] Extraordinary payments are making headlines in mainstream media. Before we know it, EU leaders will be on to this. Let?s make sure they get it right. Act now to make sure no one in the EU will fall into debt for having to pay their bills: Sign now for emergency monthly payments from the EU! Since the last major crisis of 2008, the EU has pumped trillions of Euros into the failing financial sector. Now it is time to support the people. Basic income is an unconditional monthly payment for every person, in an amount which guarantees a basic level of everyday security. The system is easy, quick to introduce, and requires minimum bureaucracy. [3] We know that the European institutions are working on a big rescue plan. This is the moment for us to influence what they decide and to recognise the opportunity to make a big change. [4] Sign and demand emergency basic income for the EU! Crises can bring out the best or worst in us. Let's go for the best. Many people are using this as an opportunity for creativity and solidarity. The EU must also do this. In solidarity, David, Marta (Warsaw), Giulio (Rome), and the entire WeMove team P.S. The entire economic system is changing right now. Dogmas fall, narratives shift. Leaders are looking for solutions.

We think it may interest you. We have mobilised massively all over Europe in support for the European basic income. Our leaders meet tomorrow. We want to give one more push ahead of that meeting to make sure they hear our demands. TWEET NOW Hi, You, Pope Francis, Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez. What do you have in common? You?ve all called for some form of basic income. The idea of a European basic income has gained huge support. Over 160,000 people have signed our petition, and hundreds of us have chipped in what we could to make our demand more visible. We're now running advertisements on Politico, the EU institutions? most-read newspaper. All this to reach EU leaders. They meet tomorrow to agree on a common EU response to the coronacrisis, but they still haven?t put an emergency basic income on the agenda. We want to give one more push ahead of that meeting to make sure they hear us. With all institutions closed, decision-makers are following social media more carefully than ever before -- so that?s where we?re going. Ahead of the meeting we will tweet them to make sure they know a European basic income needs to be on their agenda. TWEET to get their attention There?s already growing momentum in many countries showing the EU the direction to go. The Spanish government is moving towards a basic income scheme, the US has launched a one-off programme similar to basic income, France is discussing it, and even the pope is calling for a version of it! [1] As the economic situation gets worse, the EU needs to respond as quickly as possible with bold solutions. We have mobilised behind the idea of a European basic income in almost unprecedented numbers. This is a voice nobody should ignore. Let?s make sure the leaders hear us! TWEET to demand a European basic income Thank you for your engagement, David, Marta (Warsaw), Mika (Bordeaux) and the entire WeMove team PS: This time we are targeting EU?s top decision-makers, including the head of the European Council, Charles Michel. It is him who sets the agenda of the Council meeting tomorrow, so let's use our power to influence him. Join and tweet!

State of Play You may have seen that, last month, the EU's Technical Expert Group (TEG) published their recommendations on the EU Taxonomy of Sustainable Activities - see the 'Technical Annex' here. The report is relatively science-based and it integrated quite a number of issues that you helped us raise last September in the previous Ten Points Statement. Crucially, nuclear is out, fossil fuels are out, and waste incineration is also out. For more detail on our reaction to the report, see here. What happens now? We have put together another, updated, 'Ten Points' text, which we will soon ask you to sign, so we can forward it informally to key advocacy targets inside the Commission. However, the urgent thing is the Commission's consultation on the TEG technical recommendations, which closes next Monday 27/04. It is the last chance for public input before the Commission turns the criteria into the definitive taxonomy law (known as a delegated act). The page to submit this input is here. Now for the worrying bit. The nuclear and gas lobbies have already flooded this consultation page with answers, demanding that nuclear be re-included, asking for weaker thresholds on emissions, looking for more exemptions for biofuels... the usual! European environmental NGOs must respond. It is important that we send lots of replies: the Commission will not read these consultations in detail, but will instead simply look at which activities are most discussed and whether their criteria are broadly opposed or supported. We need to make sure the Commission understands that nuclear, gas, and incineration do not belong in the sustainable taxonomy. What can I do? Attached, you will find a template response to the consultation. Its length is adapted to the consultation's strict 4000-character limit. Could we ask you to a.. Slightly modify/adapt the responses so they do not appear completely identical - copy-pasting weakens individual responses). b.. Go to the consultation response page - click here - you may have to register, but please do! c.. Submit your answers! Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you need any clarification or if we can assist with this process - we are happy to help.

Wednesday marked the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, kicking off a global online protest that will roll into online climate strikes on Friday. Climate strikers had originally planned street marches and disruptive actions across the world this week, aiming at the fossil fuel industry and its funders. Now they?ve changed course to help slow the spread of coronavirus and save lives. But the shake-up can?t deter us: in fact, it?s got to make our calls even louder for a Just Recovery that tackles inequality and the climate crisis together. Creative online actions and an outpouring of art and song are generating new shows of solidarity between students, Indigenous people, workers, and families hit by COVID-19. Tomorrow under the slogan #FightEveryCrisis, the online Global Climate Strike will show that even if we cannot leave our homes, we are united. Browse globalclimatestrike.net for actions to take and new trainings and resources to build your organizing skills. Climate Strike Hub In Case You Missed It Sunrise Movement founder Varshini Prakash, Naomi Klein, Joaquin Phoenix and Moby joined scores of other prominent activists from climate, labor, feminist, and racial justice movements. Hundreds of activists, celebrities, and scientists joined together in the United States with youth strikers for Earth Day Live, a 3-day interactive livestream running now through Friday - tune in here. Today is ?Divest? day, hosted by the Stop the Money Pipeline coalition that?s organizing to end the financing of climate destruction. Activities include a remote Town Hall with elected officials on People?s Bailouts, and a digital takeover of Chase Bank branches. People will comment on Chase?s Facebook profiles about how the bank is the world?s biggest fossil fuel funder, and why those customers will move their money elsewhere. Artwork promoting the digital strike in Japan. Photo: 350 Japan Meanwhile in Nepal, activists shifted their Earth Day plans from a strike outside the mining department to a social media storm to challenge plans to drill for oil. And in the Philippines, youth strikers are holding an online webinar series on digital activism to keep bringing people into the movement. Read more. With lockdown extended until the end of May in Uganda, youth striker Vanessa Nakate had even started a podcast and video series in the lead-up to Earth Day. Read her story and hear from more youth strikers around the world on how they?ve adapted their organizing to this moment. Worker solidarity: There?s no doubting the economic devastation from coronavirus. The ILO calls it ?the worst global crisis since World War II?, with four out of every five workers worldwide affected by hour and wage cuts. For those in the informal sector and in societies without public safety nets, the results are catastrophic. As Workers? Day approaches on May 1, governments must do all they can to get economic relief straight to those hit hardest: especially to communities of color who are often most affected by climate impacts and pollution. International Workers? Memorial Day on April 28 will honor workers killed, disabled, or injured by their work. We?ll be in solidarity with workers everywhere affected by this crisis: caretakers on the frontlines, transport and supermarket workers, and fossil fuel workers who've lost their jobs, too. Read more form the IUTC on how to show solidarity. Oil tumbles: U.S. crude oil futures crashed down below 0 to -$38/barrel on Monday evening ? the lowest price ever. Prices have since jumped up, but there?s no hiding that the fossil fuel industry is hurting in the pandemic. ?It?s another powerful example of how fossil fuels are too volatile to be the basis of a resilient economy,? says Brett Fleishman from 350.org. Fossil fuels are already heavily subsidized, and now the industry wants even more bailouts. A new study shows putting major investment in renewables instead could quadruple green jobs and displace the majority of fossil fuel emissions by 2050. Art by Mona Caron for the Just Recovery Arts Kit (original image has been cropped). Green Deals: 17 EU nations now support a coronavirus recovery plan based on a European Green Deal. And in South Korea, the incumbent party that campaigned on a Green New Deal won a majority to go ahead. The UN Secretary general advocated for green stimulus over polluter bailouts, and now proposals are emerging for a Global Green New Deal that would grant debt relief to developing countries, freeing up resources so they can support their own workers. It?d also coordinate large-scale investment from North to South in green jobs and technology, reducing inequality. Divestment wins: Even in these tough times, local groups are stopping their campaign targets from putting money into the fossil fuel industry. University of Guelph in Canada passed a motion for full divestment, and American University just dumped the last of their fossil fuel stocks. Well done! One to Watch We can?t gather in the streets today: but we can still stand up for each other and seize this opportunity for a more just society.

But polluting industries are elbowing their way to the front of the queue to get economic support - at the expense of people and the planet. Sign now! Hi, A quarter of jobs in the EU are at risk, and nearly a million jobs have been lost just in Spain due to the pandemic. [1] This is only a hint of the tragedy still to come - already here for so many of us unable to afford basics such as accommodation. [2] As the European Commission puts together a recovery plan, polluting industries (like airlines and coal-burning power plants) are elbowing their way to the front of the queue to get support - thanks to their enormous lobbying power. They want the biggest piece of the pie? and to use this crisis to weaken environmental standards. [3] This recovery plan is being negotiated right now. Let?s make it clear it must prioritise the tragedies of people before those of airlines, car, plastic, and other polluting industries. The economic recovery cannot be at the expense of more pollution: pollution makes coronavirus deadlier. [4] We are part of a large coalition working on getting the message to politicians in different ways before the key EU meeting on Wednesday. But for this movement to have an impact, it needs to have thousands of Europeans standing behind it. That's us! Add your voice now! The Marshall Plan-like scheme [5] to face the economic crisis cannot replicate the mistakes of the bailouts following the 2008 financial crisis: banks and corporations shouldn?t be saved at the expense of workers, people and the planet. This time it's different. Just before coronavirus hit the world, the European Commission was in the midst of putting together a European Green Deal: a package of measures to guide Europe?s transition into a just and green economy. The current economic downturn that will soon deepen demonstrates the profound need for such a package. In fact, 17 EU countries including Spain, Germany, France, Italy, and Portugal are already pushing the Commission to base the recovery plan on the Green Deal! [6] But this master plan needs to be not only fully executed, but also boosted and expanded. If we don?t take action the Commission will only hear from polluting industries in the battle between EU governments on whether to keep the Green Deal or not. They need to hear from citizens too: the Green Deal is the starting point, but it?s far from enough. Sign the petition to demand people?s livelihoods are prioritised! What you do after reading this email matters. This is what we've been taught by experienced organisations like Greenpeace and many others. It was them that knocked at the door of our community because, in these critical times, it?s the voices of citizens that are missing from what is probably the most crucial plan of our lives. Make the voice of people present in the recovery plan negotiations: take action now! With hope, David, Virginia (Madrid), and the entire WeMove team PS.

But with your help, we can make this sneaky plan backfire. Can you chip in to help beekeepers hack Bayer?s PR show? Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card. Donate $1 now Bayer is using the Coronavirus as an excuse to shut bee protectors out of its shareholder meeting -- even though they have a legal right to be there! Holding its shareholder meeting online means Bayer has total control over who speaks and who participates. But with your help, we?ll make sure that this plan will backfire. If you chip in $1 we?ll buy online ads to redirect all journalists searching for ?Bayer AGM? on Google to our online stream where beekeepers will be speaking the truth about Bayer's bee-killing pesticides. The online shareholder meeting is already coming up on Tuesday -- we need to rapidly launch these ads to hack Bayer's PR show. Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card. Can you chip in $1 to save the bees? Most companies have moved the date of their shareholder meetings because of the coronavirus. But not Bayer. That means we need to get creative to get the message from beekeepers across. With our ads, we?re targeting journalists and shareholders looking for Bayer?s meeting online. It?ll be a PR disaster for Bayer. In past years, when Bayer held its AGM, SumOfUs members like you were there, making a ruckus and supporting beekeepers to get their message across to Bayer?s shareholders. Together, we?ve had some real impact. Last year, your protests led to the Bayer board not being ratified -- this is the first time that?s happened in the history of German companies. Bayer is sick and tired of disruption. Bosses think taking the meeting online will make it a smooth event. Oh, how wrong they could be if we can crash the party -- with your help.

This global pandemic does not discriminate and has been difficult to mitigate for even the most otherwise powerful and wealthy nations. Meanwhile, as militarism rages around the world and the most historically vulnerable people continue to suffer the most, many nations have already signed on for a global ceasefire and the lifting of sanctions. If nothing else, this moment is giving us a unique opportunity to step back and reimagine what our world could look like beyond war. COMING MAY 5, 2020: May 5th is #GIvingTuesdayNow, a new global day of giving to mobilize support and healing for communities suffering across the world due to COVID-19. What better way to bring safety and security to the global community than through the abolition of war, including lifting sanctions?many of which are preventing medical supplies, medications, and food and water from reaching those who need them most right now. With your support, we can work to create a better and more secure future for everyone: beyond borders, or race, or faith?this crisis we?re in does not draw lines boxing us into one group or another and instead, affects us all universally. By supporting World BEYOND War this #GivingTuesdayNow, we can strengthen our educational and activism work to bring an end to the devastation and global suffering brought on by the proliferation of senseless wars and acts of passive militarism like crippling sanctions.

We can't miss this chance to protect our precious forests from fast-food greed -- can you add your name now? Sign the petition They tried to silence us. Yum! Brands, owner of KFC and Pizza Hut, unleashed its legal power to try to prevent us from using our power as shareholders. But we stood strong and we won?t back down until rainforests are safe from the fast-food giant?s greed. Multi-billion dollar fast-food conglomerate Yum! Brands has one of the industry's weakest anti-deforestation policies. Its reckless sourcing of palm oil and other ingredients have horrific consequences for wildlife and the climate -- and could even spur the next global pandemic. Now, after all the excuses, smokescreens, and greenwashing attempts, Yum! will finally have to listen to us. In just three weeks, we have an opportunity to hold the corporation to account over its destructive ways -- and we urgently need your help to make sure it doesn't go to waste! We're crashing Yum!'s AGM to present your signatures along a hard hitting no-deforestation shareholder proposal. Your pressure will convince shareholders that deforestation is bad for business -- and force Yum! into long-overdue rainforest-saving action. Demand KFC and Pizza Hut take deforestation off their menu! Vladimir, deforestation for cheap fast-food ingredients has driven endangered animals like orangutans, pygmy elephants and Sumatran rhinos to the brink of extinction. It's caused devastating wildfires in the Amazon and Indonesia and released tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere. And now experts are saying it might make pandemics like COVID-19 more likely to happen. And still, knowing all this, KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell can't -- or won't -- prove their palm oil, beef, soy, and paper packaging are sustainably sourced. CEOs talk a green game, but who knows how many millions of trees are being slashed and burned behind the scenes? Last year, we traveled to Yum!'s Kentucky HQ to present our proposal for much-needed transparency on forests. When it got one in every three votes, Yum! responded -- by trying to ban us from doing the same thing this year. But our people power beat all their legal brass. Now we've got one more chance -- and we have to make it count. There's a big difference this year: the pandemic means we can't confront Yum!'s bosses in person. So it's extra important to have your signatures on our side to make the biggest impression on both shareholders and the board. Please, will you add your name to save our forests, the last orangutans and prevent the next pandemic? With nobody to hold them accountable, corporations like Yum! will keep exploiting our natural world to the point of collapse. It's up to us to show them that when rainforests burn, we all lose. And you've already shown you're up to the task. Pressure from SumOfUs members like you has gotten some of the world's most powerful corporations to take deforestation seriously -- like Pepsi, which radically overhauled its palm oil sourcing policy this year after over one million of you called it out. Or Lindt, which committed to an ambitious zero-deforestation policy for its cocoa after you and I exposed the rainforest destruction behind its fancy wrapping. With your help, KFC and Pizza Hut will finally take deforestation off the menu. But there isn't much time left to act. On behalf of rainforests everywhere, can you join us?

Walker, Tiffany Haddish as her daughter Lelia and Garrett Morris as Walker?s father-in-law. WATCH THE SERIES The Clark Sisters Thrills with a Gospel Revolution The text below is excerpted from the NPR story In New Film About Gospel Pioneers The Clark Sisters, The Music Comes First, published on April 17, 2020 by Rachel Martin and Vince Pearson. For rest of the story, see link below. The Clark Sisters ? Jackie, Dorinda, Denise, Twinkie and Karen ? were one of the most important gospel groups of the 20th century. The sisters grew up in Detroit and learned to sing from their mother, Mattie Moss Clark, a renowned gospel singer in her own right. With her help, the Clark Sisters went on to win three Grammy awards and become the top-selling female gospel group of all time. Simply put, they changed the sound of modern gospel music. The story of the ground-breaking group and the matriarch who pushed them forward is the subject of a new Lifetime movie called The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel. The film differs from most musical biopics in one notable way: Director Christine Swanson insisted that the women playing the sisters in the film be able to sing ? really sing. Acting experience was less of a requirement. _________________________ The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel (Lifetime, Sat, April 11th, 8 PM PT/ET). Watch the trailer here.

Watching Faith Under Fire: The Antoinette Tuff Story The text below is from MyLifetime.com. Seven time Grammy? Award winner Toni Braxton stars as Antoinette Tuff, a struggling single mom from Georgia who heroically averted a tragedy, saving hundreds of lives when she convinced a deranged gunman who stormed an elementary school to surrender. On August 20, 2013, shortly after arriving to work at the Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Decatur, Georgia, Antoinette the school?s bookkeeper, was in the front office when Michael Hill (Trevor Morgan, ?Abducted?), a young man with a history of mental illness, snuck in, armed with an AK-47 and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. As the school went into lockdown, Antoinette was left alone with Michael, who repeatedly threatened to kill everyone. Showing enormous courage and empathy, along with nerves of steel, Antoinette convinced Michael to surrender by using her own life struggles to connect with him. Antoinette?s faith in God guided her through the toughest moments of her life, ultimately preparing her for that fateful day. _________________________ Faith Under Fire (Lifetime). Faith Under Fire is available to stream on Amazon Prime here. STREAM NOW North America?s 17th Century Black Settlements The text below is excerpted from the About Us section of the Seneca Village Montessori School website (senecavillagemontessori.com). The story of Seneca Village begins in 1825, when Andrew Williams and Epiphany Davis became the first African Americans to purchase land in the area, which stretched from West 82nd to West 85th streets between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. Within a week of these initial purchases, the Trustees of the AME Zion Church purchased eight lots of nearby land. By 1829, nine relatively substantial houses had been built in the area. Several Seneca Village property owners, including Albro Lyons, Levin Smith and S. Hardenburgh, were prominent in the abolitionist movement. The village was built in a desirable location, with proximity to the Hudson River?s ample fishing opportunities and to a natural source of clean water at a nearby spring. The village?s residences ranged from one-room homes to three-story dwellings made of wood and brick, and there are records of three churches and one school in the village as well. The 1855 census indicated that Seneca Village was home to approximately 250 residents and contained 70 houses. Life in Seneca Village was rural and its distance from the bustling streets of Lower Manhattan offered its residents a peaceful life. _________________________ Read more about Seneca Village and the importance of preserving its history here.
