On January 6th, we sent our petition to President Biden, calling on him to declare a climate emergency before he leaves office. One day later, the climate emergency came to the people of Los Angeles county, in the form of unprecedented wildfires. We again call on President Biden and the Democratic party to make a very clear and public statement connecting the ways climate change has made catastrophes like this more intense and more frequent.

Our working definition of consumerism: an economic theory and social order that encourages people to buy more goods and services than they need for survival or status, based on the idea that consumer spending is the key to economic growth and individual well-being. We use nonviolent direct action to prompt reconsideration of the consumerist agenda, and seek to create a space where people can imagine alternatives like a wellbeing (buen vivir) economy.

The goal of these "Don't Look Away" actions is to direct global attention to the ecological emergency, by blindfolding iconic statues. This creates powerful images and a clear message: those in power are ignoring the crisis.

We are filled with rage and dismay at the US election outcome. Under Trump’s leadership, we expect a direct assault on the protection of human and environmental justice at home and abroad. His election could lead to social and environmental catastrophes worse than we have ever seen.

You can help us build a Rapid Response Action Team to speak with expertise about climate-related crisis situations when they arise. The idea is to have people with scientific expertise, event specific talking points, pre-planned actions and video clips ready-to-go when a climate disaster or climate-related event occurs.

Scientist Rebellion Turtle Island activists went to the Ecological Society of America conference this month. We made a lot of new friends, a fair amount of noise, and a little good trouble as we worked to grow the movement confronting the intersecting climate and extinction crises.

We teamed up with XR LA for an action just outside the doors of the ESA2024 conference, calling on ecologists there to join us in action. We scientists have the privilege to know, and therefore the duty to act, on climate change.

Scientist Rebellion Turtle Island joined local climate activists at Synergy Oil and Gas in Long Beach to protest illegal drilling. SRTI experienced again the solidarity and joy of working to protect local residents and indigenous rights, while a conveniently out-of-order stoplight in front of the protest led to increased public visibility of the issue during rush hour traffic.
