General Meeting Wednesday: Is a fossil-free Amazon possible?

Lorelei -- This December, Amazon will release nearly 4 million metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, as it delivers 20% of its 5 billion yearly packages during the winter holidays. That makes it a prime (ahem) moment to consider the company's climate impacts, and to join 350 Seattle's efforts to push Amazon to be a leader in the transition off fossil fuels. Join us this Wednesday, December 5th, at our monthly meeting, for a peek into the work of our Amazon team. Hear how tech workers are taking action at the company, and how you can support them in their action for a livable climate. Remember that our potluck dinner now starts at 6:30pm. Bring a dish if you can! And please bring your own water bottle, mug, and/or plate if you're able, though we'll have spares on hand. After dinner, stick around to learn more about other current campaigns, upcoming events, and ways to take action throughout the month. Here are the details: What: 350 Seattle General Meeting When: Wednesday, November 7th: Doors open at 5:30, new volunteer orientation is at 5:45, and the meeting and dinner are at 6:30 Where: University Friends Meeting, 4001 9th Ave. NE Looking for an easy way to support the climate movement?

What's a legacy without climate action?

Lorelei -- Frank Chopp has recently announced that the upcoming legislative session will be his last as Speaker of the House. In many regards, Speaker Chopp leaves behind an impressive legacy ― extended healthcare, paid family leave, and the Marriage Equality Act are just a few of the achievements that he will be leaving behind. However, there is one important thing missing from Speaker Chopp's legacy ― and it's the one that future generations will care about most. History will remember the period 1999 - 2019, the period that Speaker Chopp was the most powerful politician in the state, as the definitive period when we had the chance to act on climate. Yet, in that time the Washington State legislature has passed no meaningful climate legislation, let alone laws commensurate with the severity and urgency of the climate crisis. Can you take 10 seconds to send an email to Speaker Chopp and ask that he make climate a top priority this legislative session? If Speaker Chopp wishes to leave behind a legacy that future generations will be thankful for, he must make climate his top priority this session Can you also take a couple minutes to call Speaker Chopp to ask that he act on climate? Here is a call script, talking points and his number. In a recent meeting, Speaker Chopp said that twenty constituent contacts is all it takes to get a legislator to pay attention to an issue. We believe him ― and we believe that together we can ensure that Speaker Chopp gets two hundred phone calls asking him to make sure that climate is a top priority today. Can you help us hit that goal? Onward! David -=-=- 350Seattle.org · 1919 E Prospect St, Seattle, WA 98112, United States This email was sent to loriwantsrss@gmail.com.

The Secrets We Keep

shhhh

View this email in your browser Dear Newsletterfolken, We all have something, at least one small thing, that causes the MRI versions of our brains to light up. For whatever reason we keep that thing safe from the working world. We call them "hobbies" and we never tell a soul.  We're all friends here at OTM, so those special, pastime-y treats don't always stay secret. We easily deduced OTM producer Leah's interest in woodworking, for example, after we noticed the intricate glyphs she had carved into her desk.  Bob Garfield, as you probably already know, is an enigma, shrouded in mystery. He records his interviews from a basement in an undisclosed location somewhere outside of Washington, D.C. He refuses to share his thoughts on the week's news until one of us says "Please." None of us has ever seen his hands.  He couldn't keep up the act forever. Recently we here at OTMHQ made the startling discovery that Bob, all this time, likes to paint! And what's more.......... he's good at it.  Indeed. And here's a cool thing: you can snag a couple of those paintings — as prints! signed prints! — with a donation to OTM. Neat, huh? Onwards. Listen To The Latest Show: Whose Streets? [ In Case You Missed It ] Walking-to-Work Stories: Heartwarming or Harmful? We began last week's transit-oriented program with a story of Good Samaritans and gratitude. Specifically, the beloved, "heartwarming" media trope of the person who walks miles and miles and miles to work — usually out of heartbreaking necessity — and is rewarded for their perseverance with a car, or a bike, or at least an appearance on the 5 o'clock news. Uplifting as these tales may sometimes be, they are also "terrible," as Streetsblog national reporter Angie Schmitt explained to Brooke. Don't miss it.  [ Podcast Extra ] The Long History of Ignoring Climate Scientists A government climate change report was released last week and summarily dismissed...by the government. It was a worrying development, to be sure — but it was also only the latest chapter in the long history of scientists' unheeded warnings. Back in 1988, Andrew Revkin started covering global warming, beginning with a cover piece for Discover Magazine (and later for The New York Times). Last summer, he spoke with Brooke about the lessons he's learned in thirty years of coverage — and what they mean for how humankind might be able to navigate a much warmer future. Listen here. [ Check This Out ] Down a Rabbit Hole of Storefronts, Online and IRL Once upon a time... something confusing, shady, and very much illegal happened over at Newsweek. Elsewhere in the world, an artist purchased a suspiciously over-priced tube of lipstick. That artist, Jenny Odell, investigated the path that lipstick took and then wrote one of the strangest pieces we've ever read in the New York Times. It is hypnotic.  [ Coming Up... ] A viral video in Latin America has us asking: is it the end of satire as we once knew it? Thanks for listening, and for reading. We love feedback, so please contact us with any questions or comments. We're busy, but we read them all, promise.  DONATE TO OTM
