'Resist, goddamn it. Resist.' See jamesocromwell deliver his message on climate change
“Finally, we committed an act of nonviolent civil disobedience. Three of us locked ourselves together to block the entrance to the construction site. We were arrested,” Cromwell explains. He ended up spending a few days in jail in 2017, after refusing to pay a small fine. TheCromwell calls on the U.S. government to do more to curb the effects of climate change, like passing the Green New Deal, ending subsidies to the fossil-fuel industry, and ending the embargoes against Cuba and Iran.
“What we need is a paradigm shift. A paradigm shift is a revolution. It’s like Bernie’s, only more so. Einstein said we can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them,” he says.
“What can people do in their everyday lives to address climate change?” he asks. “The simple answer? Stop eating animals.” Cromwell has been arrestedfor protesting with PETA, and points to methane emissions and their contribution to climate change. Cromwell has an overarching message to regular people looking to take action: “Choose an issue. Inform yourself. Discern the truth. Communicate it. Organize in your community. Think globally, act locally. Dare to take effective action. Listen to your conscious and follow your heart. Question the prevailing wisdom. Resist, goddamn it. Resist.”
