Hello, this is Bill McKibben. I'm a volunteer at 350 Colorado.
I'm just calling because we're telling people about Proposition 112 to get safe
setbacks from fracking. Have you heard about the proposition yet?
Fantastic.
You don't get very many chances to be at one of those leverage points
in history where what you do has such an outsized impact.
if this YES on 112 passes, that'll send an astonishing signal.
It'll send a signal to the oil companies, but mostly it'll send a big signal to Wall Street
to stay the hell away from this kind of thing. It's the money of the fossil fuel
industry up against science. It's the money of the fossil fuel industry up
against people trying to protect their kids. It's the money of the fossil fuel
industry up against the most vulnerable communities — the poorest people, people of color,
people who do not have other resources to fight back.
And you guys need to know that you have allies everywhere who are doing this same
kind of work. I was in San Luis Obispo County in California, where they've got a
huge fight on to ban fracking and they're getting fought hard there.
I was in Washington state, where they have a huge fight on for a statewide price on carbon.
Chevron threw 7 million dollars to defeat them yesterday, but they're
fighting like heck.
When we started, we didn't think we had any chance to win any of these battles.
But we found when we fight, we win an awful lot of the time.
