While the national chapter of Mothers Out Front was in Madrid receiving the 2019 United Nations Global Climate Action Award "Women for Results," we members of the SF chapter were supporting the youth leading the Climate Action in San Francisco at and against BlackRock yesterday (Friday, December 6).
These young climate activists created a peaceful climate, with guidelines you can see in the first picture along with the potted flowers they were offering to create a more beautiful world. When one of the young speakers revealed that it was his birthday, hundreds of voices began singing "Happy Birthday" to him.
Kathie Piccagli and Maia Piccagli, the mother and daughter who started the SF chapter of Mothers Out Front, were there, as were Michael Lyon and David Williams of CARA and Danny Brook of the San Francisco Veg Society.
BlackRock, a block away from the Salesforce Building, is the world’s largest investor in coal plant developers and owns more oil, gas, and thermal coal reserves than any other investor. Organizations like the Sierra Club and Amazon Watch say BlackRock is the biggest driver of climate destruction on the planet.
