🥼“I am engaging in civil disobedience risking arrest to protest against the terrifying inaction of the state and their unwillingness to act on the knowledge we have about the role of fossil fuels in the climate disasters we are facing. The science is clear: if we want a livable future for any of us we need to phase out fossil fuels and act with urgency right now. We have a responsibility to act upon what we know, and those in power have not been listening to scientists and climate activists. This is why we need these escalated tactics now - to force them to pay attention and not squander away our future.”
- Johanna Ray Vollhardt, Scientist Rebellion member and Associate Profesor, today while being chained up to Massachusetts’ State House alongside
@XRBoston activists demanding a ban to all new fossil fuel infrastructure.
