+## There's a climate crisis and tech workers are walking out
+
+On September 20th 2019, millions of people will mobilize across the globe in the largest ever #ClimateStrike, led by students, workers, and people who care about a livable future. As tech workers, we have a responsibility to hold our employers accountable and to be part of the solution, not the problem.
+
+## Here is how you can participate
+
+1. On September 20, join a protest near you, as an individual or even better, with your co-workers.
+You can find a list of over 3,000 local marches happening as part of the Global Climate Strike [here](https://globalclimatestrike.net/).  
+**Tech workers from across companies will be meeting up before these marches, then joining their local march together. Find a tech worker location and meeting time** [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ThY98n11LVFV_26P9nmEbvUjvMXwa671nK1gOBPf7mM/). (If you don't see your city listed, feel free to add it in [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfJDnN7_u04b-jvDjBGXisUtrQvVbRSqc-wTOkptsPpQV_wnQ/viewform). We'll make sure it gets on to the list).
+
+2. Before September 20, talk to your colleagues, post to your company slack or message board, share on Twitter, and let people know why you're joining the Global Climate Strike. Use the hashtag [#TechClimateStrike](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23TechClimateStrike&src=typed_query).
+
+3. On September 20, post photos of the walkout in your city  with the hashtag #TechClimateStrike, preferably while wearing your company's branded clothing. If you're walking out with other tech workers, post a group photo (with everyone's consent, of course).
+
+## Tech's dirty role in climate change
+
+The tech industry cultivates a "green" public image, but it is in fact a major contributor to climate change. Here are three ways tech is contributing to the climate crisis:
+
+### Tech's hidden carbon footprint
+The tech industry has a [massive carbon footprint](https://horizon-magazine.eu/article/ai-can-help-us-fight-climate-change-it-has-energy-problem-too.html#.XXpXGq40qf8.twitter), often obscured behind jargon like "cloud computing" or "bitcoin mining", along with depictions of code and automation as abstract and immaterial.  
+
+In reality, tech's computational infrastructure is estimated to emit as much carbon as aviation, representing a shockingly [large percentage of global emissions](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-06610-y). A recent study found that creating just one advanced AI model contributes [five times as much carbon dioxide](https://www.technologyreview.com/s/613630/training-a-single-ai-model-can-emit-as-much-carbon-as-five-cars-in-their-lifetimes/) as an average American car over its lifetime, from creation to breakdown. And this doesn't count the global supply chains and manufacturing needed to produce hardware and consumer devices, from mining to shipping to e-waste disposal. When we look beyond the hype, we see an industry hiding behind greenwashing and marketing, hoping its significant contribution to climate change will go unnoticed.
+
+
+### Tech's collaboration with Big Oil accelerates climate change
+The big players in tech -- specifically Google, Microsoft and Amazon -- contribute to climate change through partnerships with the oil and gas industries. These three companies combined have [billions of dollars of contracts with big oil](https://www.wsj.com/articles/silicon-valley-courts-a-wary-oil-patch-1532424600). [They license](https://gizmodo.com/how-google-microsoft-and-big-tech-are-automating-the-1832790799) infrastructure, engineering resources, and AI capabilities to fossil fuel companies, promising to make extraction "more efficient". At the 2018 Amazon re:Invent conference, Amazon hosted a session called "_[Predicting the Next Oil Field in Seconds with Machine Learning.](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/your-guide-to-ai-and-machine-learning-at-reinvent-2018/)_" In the same year, Microsoft's theme at one of its conferences was _["Empowering Oil & Gas with AI".](https://news.microsoft.com/en-xm/2018/11/12/microsoft-demonstrates-the-power-of-ai-and-cloud-to-oil-and-gas-players-at-adipec-2018/)_ Google now has an [Energy division](https://cloud.google.com/solutions/energy/), created specifically to court oil and gas companies. This all translates to accelerating climate change, directly working against the goal of a livable future, which requires fossil fuel reserves remain unused and ["in the ground"](https://www.nature.com/articles/nature14016).
+
+
+### Tech's repression of climate refugees and frontline communities
+
+The environmental justice movement, backed by a mountain of data, makes it clear that people of color, poor people, and those living in developing countries are on the [front lines of climate change](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/05/us/politics/environmental-justice-climate-town-hall.html). [Extreme weather displaced](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/12/climate/extreme-weather-displacement.html) a record 7 million people in the first half of 2019 alone. The recent devastation in the Bahamas and Puerto Rico are sobering examples, and the decision by the current US administration to deny temporary protected status to climate refugees from the Bahamas [sets a chilling precedent](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-storm-dorian-immigration-bahamas/u-s-denies-protective-status-to-bahamas-hurricane-evacuees-idUSKCN1VW2OS). These are the communities that will need shelter and assistance from the countries and rich individuals who [bear the most responsibility](https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2019/4/24/18512804/climate-change-united-states-china-emissions) for carbon emissions. Instead, we see a pattern of exclusion and oppression emerging, aided by the tech industry.
+
+Amazon, Palantir, and other companies are already [selling technology](https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612335/amazon-is-the-invisible-backbone-behind-ices-immigration-crackdown/) that is being used to police, surveil, and track vulnerable communities in the US, and people seeking shelter and asylum at the border. These technologies are used to police and surveil frontline populations, and are a core part of an infrastructure designed to exclude those in need, and [shield those most responsible](https://slate.com/technology/2019/05/documents-reveal-palantir-software-is-used-for-ice-deportations.html) from accountability.
