COP26 Rally- Global Day of Action for Climate Justice
Saturday November 6th, 1-2 pm
On November 6th, 350 Humboldt, Climate Action Campaign of the Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, Cooperation Humboldt, and allies are sponsoring an event called Global Day of Action for Climate Justice https://cop26coalition.org/gda/ outside the Humboldt County Courthouse from 1-2pm.
Thanks to Bridgette Garuti, Sylvia Shaw, and Margy Emerson, we hope to unfurl our new CAC banner out for its first big rally.
This is part of a coordinated effort to bring movements together to build power for system change. World leaders are currently meeting in Glasgow at the global climate talks, COP26. The next two weeks are momentous for climate advocacy around the world. The decisions made at COP26 will shape how the governments respond (or not) to the climate crisis.
Here’s the link to the Facebook event page for more information.
We hope to see you there!
CLIMATE ACTION CAMPAIGNS MONTHLY INITIATIVE
November’s highlighted “ACTION” asks us to focus on:
Here’s a few bright ideas to get you started on shifting your fossil fuel consumption:
- Buy local to avoid transport costs (Lower your carbon footprint!)
- Combine errands, appointments, and shopping to reduce trips in your car.
 Sign ups for EverGreen: The Humboldt Climate Game
The draft of Humboldt’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) has recently been released, and citizen feedback is being sought.
We have the opportunity to learn about Humboldt’s CAP through Wendy Ring’s EverGreen: Humboldt climate game (HCG), and hence will be able to provide informed feedback.
EverGreen: The HCG is a game that uses real numbers and shows players the relative costs, savings, and GHG reductions with different measures.
350 Humboldt is co-sponsoring several online EverGreen games over the next 3 weeks. Here is the link to sign up for upcoming games. The “tickets” are free.

An offering from UUs For a Just Economic Community
Stan Cox on How Much is Enough?
Thursday, November 11 at 5 PM PDT
 The crises that collided in 2020—climatic disasters, the pandemic, economic breakdown, near-collapse of the U.S. food system, unconstrained police violence—all disproportionately impacted marginalized communities. Various legislative initiatives to end these crises, including the Green New Deal, contain some solid “New Deal” policies for economic and racial justice; however, the “Green” policies remain wholly inadequate. The crucial but missing piece is a fast-falling cap on quantities of oil, gas, and coal that can come out of the ground and into the economy each year, reaching zero within 15 years. Adapting to the cap will require that sufficiency, equity and fairness, not economic growth, become U.S. society’s central aims.
Two ways to watch:

For Zoom, please sign up for UUJEC’s email list and we’ll send you a link: https://uujec.us16.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=839f1f67c87859a86c5f5a755&id=a4d4b01a05
Elaboration on that last sentence is here in a recent cover story for YES:
