This is Xiuhtezcatl – I am 11 years old. With the help of my mom, Tamara, I am writing to let you know about a very urgent matter.
I am an Earth Guardian Leader, and my mom, well she is the backbone of our organization. Our future is in jeopardy beause of our Environmental and Climate Crisis. We are at a tipping point, eco-systems are starting to collapse everywhere, 70 percent of our rainforests are gone, species are disappearing, weather patterns are changing dramatically, 50 percent of our coral reefs are on the verge of complete collapse and that isn’t all.
The Proof is in the Science. This crisis is a human rights issue and every child deserves a clean, healthy, habitable planet. How can we blindly let this happen? How can people, parents, and our government know what is going on and not protect the children who will be left here to clean up this mess? We have to Wake Up Now before it’s too late.
The author with Mayor Osborne and PLAN-Boulder guest speaker Van Jones
We hear our parents talking about this crisis, we see it on the news, we see it in papers, we hear about it in school, but we don’t hear what we can do about it. Why aren’t the adults uniting to stop this? We the youth, are beginning to unite together all over the planet to respond to this Crisis, because we will be most affected by it. We are working side by side with environmental organizations who have been fighting for our future for over 20 years. We need YOU to help! We need to insure the children have an Earth Worth Inheriting.
Youth all over the planet are uniting, with those who care about our future, for “iMatter Marches” starting May 7th and leading up to the biggest U.S. iMatter march in Denver this weekend May 14th. If you care about your children’s future – stand and march with us on Saturday! There are over 107 iMatter marches around the world with millions of youth, and those that care about us, standing up to say “We Matter” and we deserve a better world then the one you are leaving us!
We want to see at least 10,000 in Denver, but anything is possible – even 20,000 or 50,000. There is power in numbers. Come and show your commitment. We want this Wake Up call to ignite the passion in people to start living, leading and governing as if our future matters, because it does!
We can’t sit back any longer and pretend that everything is OK. It is not OK! Do the research – check the science! Even us kids are figuring it out. We have Power if we Unite NOW! We have Power if we STAND together NOW! If we can’t answer the Earth’s Call to help her, if we can’t start respecting her, if we can’t start living with less, if we can’t start relating without greed – then we are headed for a complete catastrophe, and the children, your children and our children, will suffer greatly in the years to come.
Join us on May 14th for the iMatter March in Denver. Go to www.iMatterColorado.org for all the details and information to march with us. We have Youth Leaders, State Leaders, Celebrities, Hiphoppers, Poets, Schools, over 40 organizations marching. Be prepared to be inspired! Be prepared to get ready to change your life for your Children and their Future! They are counting on you! Be ready…
Let’s Rock Denver and the World! All our Prayers go out for Marches that are Happening Right Now! You can check them out right now at the national website: www.iMatterMarch.org.
For the Planet and those that will inherit it! Please spread our message.
