Hi, all. It’s pretty clear that America is failing its youth at the moment–from the seemingly unending string of horrific school shootings, like the tragedy in Uvalde, TX this past week, to the astounding number of children in poverty in this country (6 million kids, an increase of over 1 million since 2019, and fully a quarter …
Hi, all. Hope is something that can feel in short supply much of the time when thinking or talking about the climate crisis, or for that matter, any of the other major issues in the news–war, racism, reproductive rights–take your pick; None of it gives you any sort of warm or fuzzy feeling.

I want to highlight some exciting features from our Climate Action Explorer this Monday. Some are new updates, and others have been around for a little while, but haven’t necessarily been noted yet. First off, you may have noticed a lot of actions now living all the way over in Egypt that aren’t necessarily connected to Egypt, …

There are a few …
Earth Day 2022 is right around the corner, happening this Friday April 22.

This really fired up the populace and …
.@Sen_JoeManchin You’ve made millions off the backs of regular West Virginians. While our streams were poisoned you made money. While our children went without insulin your daughter profited. West Virginia isn’t for sale. Our lives, our climate, our air is not for sale! pic.twitter.com/nUSWCPCXRs — The Coal Baron Blockade (@WV_Rising) April 10, 2022 This past …
