Meetup: What We Must Do to Stop the Climate Crisis

Join us for an Earth Day discussion that moves beyond corporate greenwashing and into real climate action. We'll introduce Climate Defiance and Planet Over Profit, two organizations that just launched here in the Bay Area fighting for climate justice through direct action and systemic change. Learn about the true roots of the climate crisis, racial capitalism, corporate greed, government inaction, and how mainstream Earth Day messaging obscures these realities.

We’ll explore why petitions and recycling won’t save us and why bold direct actions are needed now more than ever. This talk will challenge dominant narratives, highlight the connections between climate and other justice movements, and offer tangible ways to take action.
