Join us, 350 Yakima Climate Action, Washington Conservation Action, Poder Latinx, and Between the Ridges: Alliance for the Common Good, this Earth Week to send a clear message in the face of two existential threats: Trump’s war on migrants and the climate emergency that’s killing our communities. Our leaders must stand up to Trump, protect migrants, and fight for our planet. Together we can build a world that works for all of us – not just for tech and Big Oil elites.

Únete a nosotros, 350 Yakima Justicia Climática, Washington Conservation Action, Poder Latinx, y Between the Ridges: Alliance for the Common Good, esta Semana de la Tierra para enviar un mensaje claro: nuestros líderes deben enfrentarse a Trump, proteger a los migrantes y luchar por nuestro planeta. Juntos, podemos construir un mundo que funcione para todos nosotros, no para las grandes élites y multimillonarios.

Trump and Big Oil are pillaging the Earth, driving climate collapse and forcing millions to flee their homes. Meanwhile, fossil fuel billionaires are cashing in while our planet burns – droughts, fires, hurricanes, and food shortages are their legacy.

Trump y las grandes petroleras están saqueando nuestro planeta, impulsando el colapso climático y obligando a millones de personas a huir de sus hogares. Mientras tanto, los multimillonarios de las grandes petroleras tienen grandes ganancias mientras nuestro planeta arde: sequías, incendios, huracanes y escasez de alimentos son las consecuencias de sus multinacionales.

Billionaires and the politicians who bow down to them want us to blame immigrants who keep our communities running, while they laugh all the way to the bank. They want to distract us from their legacy of corruption, but we aren’t having it!

Los multimillonarios y los políticos que ellos compran quieren que culpemos a los inmigrantes, quienes son parte esencial de nuestras comunidades. !Quieren distraernos de su corrupción, pero no lo vamos a aceptar!

Our leaders have a choice: stand with the people or keep bending a knee to Trump’s destructive agenda.

Nuestro líderes tienen que escoger entre apoyar a nuestra gente o seguir arrodillándose ante la agenda destructiva de Trump.
