Tonight, the Senate is debating voting rights. After decades of debate and a year of delay, they’re finally coming to the question: what is more important — the right of all Americans to vote, or the Jim Crow filibuster. Democrats are not expected to win the vote, or pass the bill tonight. But regardless of …
*Update* Today is the day, Martin Luther King Jr Day.

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.

It’s a deadline for Democracy: We’re running out of time for Congress and the President to take the action we need on climate change this year (2021).

Thank you for supporting 198 methods this year! In the last 12 months we’ve done a ton of important work focussed on President Joe Biden — from pressuring Congress to confirm key Biden cabinet members like Deb Haaland, to protesting outside the White House for a whole week with the People vs Fossil Fuels action. …

* 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. As House …
