On Saturday, tens of thousands joined Make Billionaires Pay marches across the United States. As world leaders gather in New York City to discuss climate action and peace at the United Nations, we’ll be sending a clear message: Shut down billionaires. Fund our future. The money to solve the climate crisis already exists — it’s just in the wrong hands. New research1 shows that the U.S. government showers the fossil fuel industry with $35 billion in giveaways every year – almost double the amount it received just eight years ago. Nearly all of these subsidies flow into excess profits for the fossil fuel industry. An estimated 20,000 joined the March in NYC. We hear from a variety of voices, including Lt. Governor Antonio Delgado, Jodi Evans of Code Pink, Leslie Cagan, Tom Grogan, Pat Almonrode, Green Peace, Women’s Earth and Climate Network, Eagle Women (Candy White), Greg Schwedock,and various activists from the climate, peace, Palestinian, Native American and immigrant rights communities.
