SUMMARY:Friends of Nelson Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Sunday October 20\, 2019 – The Nelson Center\, gather at 5:30\, meeting begins at 6:00.  Ted Glick\, from Beyond Extreme Energy (BXE)\, will be our featured speaker\, and will show a short film followed by discussion.  We’ll also have announcements and updates.  This is a kid-friendly event\, and there will be an art station run by BXE’s Maple Osterbrink. \nJoin activists from Beyond Extreme Energy (BXE) on their FERC Into FREC roadshow! BXE is traveling from the shalefields of Pennsylvania down through the path of the MVP and ACP pipelines in West Virginia and Virginia. BXE members will screen their short film “FERC Doesn’t Work” and hold a community discussion on the fight to turn the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) into the Federal Renewable Energy Commission (FREC). FERC is the federal agency responsible for the regulation of all fossil fuel infrastructure and pipelines that cross state lines. As such FERC is a lynchpin in the nationwide movement against fossil fuels and for climate justice! \nTed Glick has been a progressive activist\, organizer and writer since 1968. He has prioritized the climate crisis issue since 2004 and was one of the founders of Beyond Extreme Energy in 2014. Following retirement after nine years as the National Campaign Coordinator for the Chesapeake Climate Action Network\, he has worked since as a volunteer with BXE and several local and state organizations in New Jersey fighting climate disruption and the expansion of new fossil fuel infrastructure. Since 2000 he has written a nationally-distributed Future Hope column of political\, social and cultural commentary. \nMaple Osterbrink has volunteered for peace\, justice and earth conservation since the 1960’s. She “took the earth-conservation pledge as a young girl scout and has held to it.” She retired from several “almost-careers” to North Carolina and is helping out many organizations including BXE\, APPPL\, Workers’ Assembly and the Raging Grannies. She worked to preserve wetlands in New Hampshire in the mid-90’s as a town conservation commissioner. She is “sick of the corruption\, theft and poisoning of democracy\, peace\, water\, food and sustainability.” As an artist she will have mini-projects to do with children\, or adults\, during events.

SUMMARY:Charlottesville Youth Climate Strike
DESCRIPTION:The strike will be from noon to 1pm at the Free Speech Wall downtown on Friday\, September 20\, 2019. \nYouth activists will strike to demand transformative action to address the global climate crisis and locally\, to stop the harmful Atlantic Coast and Mountain Valley Pipelines and the compressor station in the historic African American community\, Union Hill. Rally speakers include Swami Dayananda of the Yogaville Ashram in Buckingham County and a representative from the Virginia Student Environmental Coalition at UVA; additional speakers will be announced soon. \nAfter a short rally\, Charlottesville youth will hold a die-in to draw attention to the devastating effect climate change is already having on vulnerable populations and the uncertain future of all youth. \nFollowing the die-in\, Charlottesville youth will march on the Downtown Mall. Virginia Student Environmental Coalition at UVA will be rallying on grounds in the morning and marching from UVA to join the youth rally. \nEveryone is welcome! Attendees are asked to bring a sign/or tombstone. If possible\, adults should wear black. \nBuilding on a historic surge of student protests and strikes for climate action\, the September 20 strike comes ahead of the United Nations Summit on Climate Change three days later\, when world leaders will convene in New York with the goal of deepening climate ambition. In over 150 countries\, people are already pledging to organize events on September 20 and during the Week of Action that follows. \nCharlottesville youth\, along with partner organizations Virginia Student Environmental Coalition at UVA\, Virginia Interfaith Power & Light\, the Green Grannies\, several other members of the Cville100 climate coalition\, and Charlottesville Democratic Socialists of America\, are leading the strike to demand stark climate action be taken by local\, national\, and global politicians. \n“As Union Hill faces the compressor station and pipeline\, we stand with them in protecting our region from harmful and unnecessary fossil fuel infrastructure\, and highlight the burden upon future generations which will be symbolized by a die-in during the rally\,” said strike organizer Gudrun Campbell. “Youth around the world have been striking for months and now we call on you\, the adults\, to join us.”
