There’s no room for the Williams fracked gas pipeline in the Green New Deal

by DrewAction, allies May 14, 2019May 13, 2019Comments are Disabled

Since the start of this year, I’ve been telling you about the exciting Green New Deal proposed by NY Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I’ve also been straight with you (and members of Congress) about what I see as one of the resolution’s main failings: that it doesn’t explicitly rule out pipelines and fossil fuel infrastructure in …

Dirty, Dishonest, Dominion Energy #DIVEST!

We had a busy 2 days of action targeting dirty, dishonest, Dominion Energy at their shareholder meeting in Columbia SC this week. Check out the reportback video on all our actions, or scroll down to read an account of the more than 5 hours of meetings, speeches and actions. Once you see all the stuff …

Shareholder season update

by DrewAction, allies, Home April 29, 2019April 29, 2019Comments are Disabled

It’s been a busy few weeks with Drew and the 198 methods crew running around DC, North Carolina and other locations to support direct action campaigns that challenge fossil fuels and climate chaos. In particular, this spring, we’ve been working on getting the biggest banks, regulators and corporations behind the build out of fossil fuel …

FERC No Federal Renewable Energy Commission YES!

Up in the air to stop the pipelines

by DrewAction, allies, Home April 18, 2019April 17, 20192 comments

This morning, I got up early, climbed a ladder 35 feet up, and perched on top of the front door of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission with a banner that reads “FERC NO, Federal Renewable Energy Commission YES!” It’s not a 100% safe, or legal way to make a point. But I thought it was …

We fired Zinke and Pruitt, now help block Bernhardt

Quick, slightly belated, update on Bernhardt

by DrewAction, allies, Opinion April 16, 2019April 16, 20191 comment

As you probably heard by now – Bernhardt was confirmed by a vote of 56-41 last week, over the objections of nearly 200,000 of us who signed, called, texted, and petitioned to oppose his nomination. The vote was largely along party lines, with three of the same Democrats who voted against the Green New Deal …

UPDATE: Bernhardt caught red handed, Senate Committee votes to confirm him anyway

by DrewAction April 4, 2019April 16, 201912 comments

Early this morning, the New York Times released a story that proves that David Bernhardt – Trump’s corrupt, dirty nominee to replace Ryan Zinke as head of the Department of Interior – lied to Congress by continuing to lobby Interior more than a year after he swore he’d stopped. The evidence is an April 2017 invoice that …

Trump’s Most Corrupt Nominee yet.

by DrewAction, Home April 2, 2019April 3, 20191 comment

Trump has nominated David Bernhardt to run the Department of Interior, making him the latest in a line of corrupt former lobbyists nominated to regulate the industries they used to work for. This is almost be a cliche at this point: Bernhardt follows Ryan Zinke, who resigned under a cloud of investigations and allegations of …

Breaking: Trump tries to ram through KeystoneXL, Again

by DrewAction, allies, Home March 29, 2019April 2, 2019Comments are Disabled

Trump just issued a presidential permit for construction of Keystone XL, again. He’s trying to get around a recent court order by the Ninth circuit that preserved an injunction to stop TransCanada from building the pipeline, at a potential costs of billions of dollars. If you’re ready to get in front of this pipeline and …

Since the Paris climate agreement was signed in late 2015, big banks have invested $1.9 trillion in fossil fuels.

Tell the Senate, Climate deniers can't lead EPA.

Vote imminent on Wheeler

by DrewAction, Home February 27, 2019February 27, 2019Comments are Disabled

Quick update – Andrew Wheeler, Trump’s climate-destroying nominee to lead the EPA is on the Senate calendar today for a so-called “unanimous consent” vote. That’s the same motion that Lisa Murkowski used more than a year ago to whisk through several nominees to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. At that time, no single Senator objected, …
