As we’ve been telling you, Senator Joe Manchin (jerkface-WV) continues to push for his zombie like dirty deal that would fast track fossil fuel infrastructure and harmfully impact frontline communities. But we haven’t mentioned lately that in addition to threatening our climate and communities, Manchin’s dirty deal is a huge conflict of interest. Manchin still …

President Biden made a welcome and empathetic trip to Puerto Rico this week. No paper towels were thrown. Don’t get me wrong, Biden is doing a much better job at disaster recovery than the defeated fossil fueled fascist Trump. But Puerto Rico needs more than prayers and empathy, they need a functioning power grid that’s …

There’s nothing I can say to convince you we’re living in a climate emergency that is more persuasive than the headlines and disasters unfolding all around us. What’s left now is not to decide whether we will act, it’s to push our leaders to act at the scale the crisis demands. All year we’ve pushed …

* Update * No surprise, climate-denying coal baron Joe Manchin has blocked progress on President Biden’s agenda, again. The Announcement was shocking too many not because Manchin changed his position, but because he announced it on Fox news, and broke a promise he’d made explicitly and in-person to the President and party leadership.

Biden made a clear and simple promise on the campaign trail to “Build Back Better.” But Biden can’t do that unless he Builds Back Fossil Free.

Everything or nothing at all: An update on the Build Back Better Act

by DrewAction, allies, Home November 2, 2021November 2, 20211 comment

We’ve been pushing for weeks to pass a version of President Biden’s Build Back Better Act with no cuts to climate, care, jobs or justice. Last week Sen Manchin and his Republican forced Biden to cut another ~$1.5 trillion from the bill, but there’s still a lot worth fighting for. The only thing keeping Manchin …

We’re in the endgame of negotiations over President Biden’s Build Back Better Act. Sen Manchin and his Republican allies have forced Biden and the Democrats to cut another ~$1.5 trillion from the bill, but there’s still a lot worth fighting for. Right now, today, young people are on hunger strike outside the White House, and youth …
