Please join us this Saturday, May 16th from 10am to 1pm for a day of art making and community building, by helping us paint a public mural for one of the NAC Hub Houses.

All supplies, snacks, and drinks will be provided. The painting process will be paint by numbers and facilitated by our project artists: David Cobb and Kristi Rangel.

We also hope to honor Benjamin Broadway, who worked with us as a steering committee member of the mural project before he joined the ancestors. Mr. Ben’s imagination for building up the community and how to ensure the mural is the most accessible embodied the very principles and values we all hope to uphold

Houston has not one, but two “climate weeks” this year — both deeply tied to the fossil fuel industry.

Organizers of these conferences will say that we should do everything to mitigate the climate crisis, yet anything that might touch the bottom lines of the fossil fuel industry is not on the table. As is well known, in order to meet targets set out in the Paris agreement, much of fossil fuel companies ‘proven reserves’ must stay in the ground, and no new fossil fuel infrastructure should be built.

Houston Energy & Climate Week organizers proclaim the value of ‘unity,’ that ‘we’ should all work together to tackle net zero. Yet fossil fuel companies are the biggest barriers to rapid decarbonization. Fossil majors have increased - not decreased - their production over the last year. They’ve long funneled money into climate denialism and politics: they spent nearly half a trillion dollars on the 2024 election alone.

This is the new climate regime: fossil fuel companies want to be both the cause of AND solution for the climate crisis. The ‘solutions’ they peddle are unproven and can involve considerable environmental risk themselves.

The “Energy &” message is clear: profit first, planet second. Unity means aligning with extractive interests, and continually leaves out communities on the frontlines.
