Happening now: 75,000 people marching to #endfossilfuels 👏👏👏A delegation of more than 50 Indigenous, environmental, youth and frontline advocates from New Mexico joined more than 75,000 people from across the country and world today to march in the streets of Manhattan and demand that the U.S. end its extraction and use of fossil fuels. The mass mobilization is ahead of the first United Nations Climate Ambition Summit on Sept. 20, when U.N. Secretary Guterres will urge world leaders to make commitments to phase out fossil fuels.  “A collective of grassroots movements across the state of New Mexico is joining other frontline movements who mobilize around a No False Solutions @nofalsesolutions narrative to bring light to the financialization and continued commodification of our natural and cultural resources,” said Julia Bernal, Executive Director @puebloactionalliance “We are bringing a unified grassroots message to the international platform that demands our elected leaders to take bold climate action that doesn’t continue the legacy of harm and extraction that has negatively impacted our ancestral territories for generations.” New Mexico is the second-largest oil-producing and seventh-largest gas-producing state in the country. Over the past three years, New Mexico has experienced the highest growth in oil production in the U.S. Of the 6,430 drilling permits the Biden administration approved in its first two years, nearly 4,000 are on public lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s New Mexico Office. Climate pollution from the combustion of oil and gas extracted in New Mexico contributes significantly to the climate crisis. 📸Photos by @john.acosta3 media director @earthcare_nm @tropsplash with @centerforbiodiv
