There are probably more, but by the time you’re at 40, it’s enough to make the point that it’s a pretty steady drumbeat.
I agree that there’s very little convincing to do at this stage — right now it’s about turnout. Having these in one place like this can emphasize the importance of voting to stop Trump and help make sure people vote.
To the contrary, when I’ve been doing phonebanks calling climate activists asking them to be involved in actions supporting Harris, I’m finding that I actually know people on the list, and they’re showing up.
They’re recognizing that a first-past-the-post system gives us effectively a choice between two candidates, and are choosing to support the one willing to do more. This is what the Biden/Harris administration got us:
You could do something like that, and run local and legislative candidates in states like Alaska and Maine which have ranked-choice voting for their general election, or California which uses top-two primaries.

I included the context quote making this sort-of clear quite intentionally.
About 40% of shipping by tonnage today is moving fossil fuels around. If we move to renewables, this pretty much goes away.
Yeah, there have been a string of these recently. It’s an interesting approach to activism.
It’s unfortunately not possible to tell the difference between this kind of sarcasm and the outright serious denial that the fossil fuels industry pays to put in front of people.
You’re seriously underestimating the kinds of things that academia generates
