 le and our planet. Will you join us?*\n\n**UPDATE: **Our bus will be leavi
 ng from South Station in Boston at 7 am! The bus will take us to New York

 oston-ma)\n\n**Context:** As the United States braces for extreme heat\, w
 ildfires\, and hurricanes\, the Trump administration just rammed through a
  mega-bill defunding our communities to give handouts to billionaires. The
 y’re dismantling our democracy\, attacking immigrants\, and feeding the 
 war profiteers. The attacks on our people are directly tied to the attacks
  on our planet.  War-making and genocide\, from Palestine to Sudan and the
  Congo\, is contrary to the just transition and repair of the Earth we dem
 and. The billionaire fascists are hoarding resources and leaving working c
 lass communities across the globe to face the impacts of extreme weather a
 nd rising seas\, while building walls and furthering their militarized res
 ponse to the climate crisis. \n\n**Among Trump's billionaire buddies\, a h
 andful of Big Oil & Gas executives are raking in profits while the rest of
  us pay the price of rising costs\, toxic pollution\, militarized repressi
 on and worsening climate disasters.**\n\nAll across the world\, authoritar
 ian regimes are on the rise but people are fighting back. We are uniting a
 cross the world to demand a better future for our communities and for all 
 living beings.\n\n**Demands:**\nShut down billionaires. Fund our future.\n
 Shut down fascists. Protect migrants and the global majority. \nShut down 
 polluters. Defend Mother Earth.\n\n**Strategy:**\nOn September 20th world 
 leaders will be gathering in New York City for the UN General Assembly and
  Climate Week. This is a critical moment for us to show the world we are r
 evolting against Trump and the Billionaire Class.\n\n**We’re calling for
  people across the US to join the non-violent resistance by hosting a marc
 h in their community or joining the march in New York City.** **Cities wit
 hin 300 miles\, including Boston\, are asked to send folks to join the New
  York march.** Here's the full partnership toolkit\, including social medi
