Students for a Just and Stable Future
Students for a Just and Stable Future (SJSF) is a student-led volunteer network working to ensure a just and stable future for our generation and the generations to come that are threatened by runaway global warming. To this end we campaign for bold, tangible solutions to the climate crisis, we teach the science and impacts of global warming, and we organize for action on our campuses and in our communities.
We are serious people using serious tactics to call for serious solutions to a serious problem.
We’re not getting paid to do this. We are volunteering our time, and asking you to join us, because the world is burning, and someone must lead.
When the world is burning, we have the courage to call for an end to burning fossil fuels. W have the courage to challenge Massachusetts and America to rise to the occasion, to wake ourselves up from apathy and despair, and to make our generation and future generations look back with gratitude and awe.
We are calling for No More Burning of Coal in Massachusetts by 2015, — and 100% Clean Electricity by 2020.
We have written bills to get 100% clean electricity for our state by 2020 and phase out coal. We’re Repowering Massachusetts. Like the citizens in World War II who grew Victory Gardens in their backyards, bought war bonds, and had meatless mondays, we are walking the walk. We are retrofitting homes, changing our lifestyles, and speaking up. We’re calling on our legislators to follow our lead and advance the nation towards a more secure and sustainable future.
We have marched in Massachusetts and organized art shows to teach about the science and impacts of global warming.
Scientists, advocates, and policymakers have been aware for decades that burning fossil fuels is putting our world and our people in sincere jeopardy. Yet almost none have had the courage to call for the changes necessary to stop rapid global warming. We have had the courage to not just call for the changes we really need, but also the vision and the principled determination to see them through.
We will not stop until our state and nation commit just, stable, and sustainable future free from fossil fuels!
We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world or to make it the last. — John F. Kennedy
