Occupy Biden

Occupy Biden 2, Presidents Day March To Biden’s House

February 24, 2022 Occupy Biden, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Over the President’s Day weekend more than 70 activists from 10 states and representing countless organizations convened once again at 909 Centre Road, a Delaware Department of Transportation right of way near President Joe Biden’s home. This event was attended not by centrist environmentalists but rather by organizations at the intersection of climate, class, racial and environmental justice. The demands of Occupy Biden are that President Biden declare a national climate emergency and pledge to allow no new fossil fuel projects. A peaceful but vocal and committed crowd of mostly teen and young adult activists took these demands to Biden’s residence along with drummers, banners, and solidarity chants such as “climate change is class war.”

Occupy Biden Demonstrates How To Hold Politicians Accountable

During the 2020 presidential campaigns, it was common for people who planned to vote for Joe Biden to say that they recognized he was a corporate-friendly candidate but that we just needed to elect him and then he could be pressured to act in the interests of the people. Well, unlike the marches after President Trump was elected, that mass pressure on Biden has not materialized. Now, a coalition of smaller climate justice groups (not the Big Greens) has just completed a weeklong occupation of land close to the President's home with two demands: that he declare a climate emergency and that he stop any new fossil fuel projects. Clearing the FOG speaks with one of the organizers, Karen Igou, about the action and next steps in the campaign to pressure Biden. Igou also speaks about actions we need to be taking outside of the political arena to address the climate crisis.

This week, environmental advocates addressed intensifying fossil fuel pollution, climate injustices, and the Biden administration’s failure to take the lead on climate crisis solutions during the Occupy Biden protests near Joe Biden’s Wilmington, DE home. Their goal remains to increase the pressure on the President to declare a climate emergency and end new fossil fuel projects. The actions are being led by local community leaders and supported by dozens of environmental and social justice groups from around the country, and have resulted in hundreds of people taking action. The Occupy Biden actions began on Christmas Day, December 25, and will culminate in a rally and march at 1 pm. New Year's Day, January 1.

Occupy Biden – Day 3 – Demanding Executive Action

I live in the shale fields of western Pennsylvania. Butler County is one of the most heavily fracked counties in one of the most heavily fracked states in the country. We have fence line communities that have suffered health and financial hardship due to the industry. My friends in the Woodlands have been without water since Rex Energy poisoned their water in 2010 during a frack job gone bad. For almost 11 years, up to 60 families from the Woodlands have gone every week to White Oak Springs Presbyterian Church to a water bank called Water for Woodlands to get 20-25 gallons of water per family. These people have lost much and they were not well off to begin with. They are hard-working, working-class people.
