What is radical about sitting on a street with a few signs to block something?

She does not want to talk about it. However she has actually a pretty good record of supporting climate action like sponsoring the Green New Deal, which she mostly got passed in form of the inflation reduction act. Action is worth so much more then words.

The reason she does not want to do it, is that it is better to run on women's rights and workers rights. Trump has an awful record on it as well and a lot more people care about it.

Seriously in Europe many investment funds activly go to the unions and ask which problems the company have. They are often better informed and honest then the normal management. They also have an obvious intresst in keeping the company around.

It is a European Citizens' Initiative, which enables EU citizens to promose laws to the EU Commission directly. The idea is of a wealth tax for the richest 1% to finance climate action. Given they are activly lobbying the EU for it, it is hardly greenwashing.

An EU initative needs 1million sigantures and to meet a threshhold in seven countries to be passed. So if you are French or German, it is still worth signing it, to meet the 1million mark.

California at least has a law in place, which makes fossil fuel cars sales illegal. That does not solve car dependency, but at least it massivly helps with the oil problem. California HSR is also going to help a lot.

and this is why contacting your local politicans is a good idea as is showing up to public meetings. Quite simply especially local politicans are often not as corrupt as the big guys higher up the ladder. The live in the community and have to live with the consequences of their actions.

Single small bedroom with shared kitchen and bathrooms is pretty cheap. You probably want to spend a bit more though to help the homeless into a position, where they can take care of themself.

The thing is that the value is in the communities and not in the old content. So most likely the mods would just post we move to a new instance and a lot of users would follow. We just saw that on the German speakin lemmy instance feddit.de, which was abandoned and now most of the users and communities moved to feddit.org, which is already one of the larger ones.

What lemmy really needs is the ability to easily move accounts and communities. Mastodon has that for users already.
