4:5 Rally for a Fossil Free Tompkins, June 27, 2015, Community School of Music & Arts, Ithaca, NY. Video by Cris McConkey
A skit with puppets. Governor Cuomo, reluctant, and looking for any excuse to leave the stage, is peppered with questions. "If I could help you citizens, I would" he responds. "What you are asking is for a miracle, and I would need a genie in a bottle to accomplish something like that". Upon which he is presented with the bottle which summons a blue genie. "Genies are not real, governor, but I am" say tghe man in blue, who then presents three lessons for the governor concerning: 1. The history of the people and the planet; 2. The extractive era & climate changing; 3. People Power and the Era of Just Transition. All the while puppets representing sustainability (the sun puppet) with the people holding the ubiquitous sunflowers, and the fossil industry (the skeleton puppet) with its minions, battle it out. In the end, the governor comes around and asks everyone to help sign a just energy bill.
