High Country Rising Tide

High Country Rising Tide Confronting the root causes of climate change. The systems that are destroying the planet are systems rooted in oppression.

High Country Rising Tide is a chapter of the international, decentralized, grassroots movement Rising Tide, based in Laramie, WY and extending throughout the equality state. Rising Tide is an all-volunteer network of groups and individuals who promote local, community-based solutions to the climate crisis and take direct action to confront the root causes of climate change. Rising Tide was born ou

t of the conviction that corporate-friendly “solutions” to climate change will not save us and that most government efforts are half-measures at best. We organize through decentralized, local groups that support one another through shared resources, ideas, fundraising and training. Rising Tide’s tactics are diverse and creative, taking a bottom-up approach to connecting the dots between colonialism, corporate power, social justice, biocentrism and the environment. Combating climate change is not solely a matter of carbon emissions, but of confronting the institutions that destroy communities, cultures and the Earth. The international Rising Tide network now spans countries on four continents. We know that whatever we achieve in our local struggles is amplified by the energy of the growing global movement for climate justice.

Here is a map of the 27 confirmed solidarity actions so far across the world!

The aftershock of Hurricane Sandy is still being felt on the East Coast, its the hottest year on record, and families most affected by climate change are increasingly bearing the brunt of dirty energy extraction.

The acceleration of tar sands exploitation from Keystone XL is dangerously hurdling us toward an unstable future. We need immediate action to address the climate crisis now.

Join us for a Mass Action in East Texas on Monday, November 19th or host one in your community Nov. 14th-20th. http://tarsandsblockade.org/nov19/
