And here's the note that came with it:

I am an Oil Sands worker and risked my job to take this picture. Myself, along with the majority of my co-workers are ready for a renewable energy revolution. We need to stand together to eliminate the corruption that exists in this industry, start taxing carbon emissions, and creating green jobs for a sustainable future. We do not work in this industry because we like supporting large oil companies; we simply have no other choice. We want jobs that provide long term economic, social and environmental sustainability for ourselves, our country and our planet.

What does marriage equality have to do with climate change? We believe that a society that believes in treating all people equally -- no matter their race, class, gender, religion, or ***ual identity -- is a society that's more likely to extend that same respect and care to future generations and the planet.

Just as important, our movement is only possible because of the love and personal connections that so many of our organizers share. When you look through the incredible photos from this weekend's Climate Impacts Day events, for example, you'll see people of all ages, races, religions, and ***ual orientations taking part. We're a diverse movement and we support the rights of each and every one of our members.

We're also incredibly thankful for the support that many LGBT activists and organizations have given to our work -- and especially proud of our own LGBT staff, interns, and volunteers who have made climate activism a career here at 350.org. Here in the Bay Area, our first 350.org office was a room in a big shared space that included one of our all-time heroes, Kip Williams, who went on to co-found GetEQUAL, one of the groups that helped lead the fight for marriage equality. Years later, we used GetEQUAL megaphones to power our chants at the White House during the Keystone XL sit-ins. And we were joined at those demonstrations by equal rights advocates like Lt. Dan Choi, who gives powerful testimony in the video below about why he was willing to risk arrest to stop the pipeline:



So, on this historic day, we share our most hearfelt congratulations to everyone who believes in love -- especially the thousands of activists and organizers who fought long and hard for this victory on the path towards greater equality for all. It gives us hope.

This morning, 350.org is joining with Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Keith Ellison to launch a new bill that would cut $113 billion in subsidies to the coal, oil and gas lobby over the next 10 years.

Almost everyone in the country opposes handing cash over to big oil, big coal, and big gas—the numbers are in the 70% range among Republicans, Independents, and Democrats. That means that we'll be working to get all sorts of people on board with this fight, maybe even that cranky Unkle of yours who doesn't believe in global warming but wants to cut government spending.

http://www.350.org/en/sites/all/file..._companies.jpg

This won’t be any normal legislative push. First, that’s just not how we do things here at 350.org. But more importantly, we know that if we confine this effort to Capitol Hill, the fossil fuel industry will just drown us in dollars -- they could spend $100 billion fighting this thing and still come out on top. So, we’re going to have to find other currencies to work in: our creativity, energy, and grassroots organizing power. This needs to be a people’s bill through and through.

Stay tuned for photos, video and more info coming in soon!

A walk and rally was organized May 5th in conjunction with hundreds of similar actions around the world. In Bellingham and Whatcom County, a proposed coal export terminal is expected to enter a public comment period in Summer, 2012 which will call on people everywhere to raise their voices of concern for this project. Please visit powerpastcoal.org to learn how to share your concerns, no matter where you live in the world, we need to curb coal exporting and burning. The time is now to take action! Thank you 350.org for uniting everyone around the world to address our climate crisis.

In the days leading up to May 9th, busloads of activists from Miami to Olympia had joined the North Carolina community to protest the Bank of America Shareholder meeting. They joined us to stand together and stand up to the big Bank that calls Charlotte home.

In the last two years, Bank of America has thrown more money at the coal industry than any other bank -- more than $4.2 million. We know that by investing in the dirty energy that is cooking our planet and making us sick, Bank of America is as responsible for climate change as the coal companies themselves.

That’s why yesterday, Climate Activists joined a movement fighting many of Bank of America’s short-sighted investment policies: racist and predatory lending, robo-signed foreclosures, loans for mountaintop removal. Nearly 1,000 of us marched through the Charlotte streets to the Shareholder meeting, flooding the intersection and halting traffic for a two-hour rally. Meanwhile, inside the shareholder meeting, members of impacted communities like Larry Gibson and Adam Hall of the West Virginia coal fields shared the experience of living life as Bank of America’s collateral damage.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Ro...jVbNSPtjAZX8lc

While we had an incredible morning of singing, marching, and uniting our struggles on BofA’s doorstep, we wish these protests weren’t necessary in the first place. We want our big financial institutions like Bank of America to work for America. We want an economy that doesn’t prioritize quarterly profit when people’s lives and the future of our planet are at stake.

At the end of the day, we know that BofA CEO Brian Moynihan heard our cries, and plowed on with business as usual. But as long as Bank of America continues to put our homes (both our houses and our planetary home) at risk, we’ll be there to meet them with people power.
