Canada is dumping billions of public money into fossil
fuel subsidies every year, propping up an industry that is wreaking
havoc on our climate. And this despite G20 commitments to
end these subsidies in the next five years.
Climate chaos disproportionately affects island
nations and famous climate activist, Greta
Thunberg, has raised the call for these island nations to use their
power, at the UN Security Council vote, to force Canada to do better
on climate action.
The vote is this Wednesday and countries are in
the final moments of making a decision. Your email today
could help embolden these small nations to stand up to Canada’s
dismal climate record and force it to stop propping up the
destructive fossil fuel industry.

In the last two weeks, two very damning
reports have come out showing that Trudeau is still dumping billions
into the oil industry despite its G20 commitment to end fossil fuel
subsidies by 2025.
And this in the same year that has seen climate disasters
like the Australian bush fires and the back-to-back extreme cyclones
in India.
Climate chaos will affect island nations the most -- and they
have a rare opportunity to leverage their power in the UN
Security Council vote to show Canada, and the world, that
only drastic climate action will get their votes.
By emailing the representatives today, you will show them
that the world is behind them in standing up to large global powers
like Canada who are driving climate chaos with their massive public
support of the fossil fuel industry.

All across the world, white people in North and Western countries
are waking up to the harsh lived realities of BIPOC people living
under white supremacy. And this racism shows up in climate
work too, when rich, predominantly white nations like Canada prop up
Big Oil companies pushing forward climate chaos -- something that
predominantly affects nations of Black, Brown and Indigenous
peoples.
At SumOfUs we are working to centre the voices of those who are
most impacted by climate chaos and support their struggle by
challenging rich, white global powers.
And I know that, together, we can, and will, support those
fighting for their lives in the climate catastrophe.
