On Friday, the third anniversary of climate campaigner Greta Thunberg's lone protest outside the Swedish Parliament, a global report revealed the scale of risks posed by the climate emergency for the world's children.
\u201cThe climate crisis is ongoing, and it\u2019s deadly - especially to the most vulnerable. \n\nOne billion children face multiple climate shocks. To build a better, safer world for children, governments and businesses must take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions now.\u201d— UNICEF (@UNICEF) 1629439201
"Our futures are being destroyed, our rights violated, and our pleas ignored."
--climate activists Greta Thunberg, Adriana Calderon, Farzana Faruk Jhumu, and Eric Njuguna
"Children are not afraid--and nor should they be--to demand that adults do everything they can to protect their future home."

Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
