Happy holidays to all! This post is a look back at 2022, which might end up being remembered as a year that changed everything (to borrow from Naomi Klein). This is a long post, full of links and references mostly to ourselves. It’s linked to by a short-er email, so as always, if you want …
Today is the winter solstice – meaning that from now until next summer, the days will only get warmer, longer, and sunnier. It’s fitting that the solstice comes just after we got word that Manchin’s dirty deal has been defeated a fourth (and we hope, final) time this year! Senate negotiators announced early Tuesday that …

December 15 update – We won, again! For an unprecedented third time, Manchin’s zombie dirty deal has been defeated. It failed on the Senate floor, 47-47, with 60 votes needed for passage. This is yet another huge victory for frontline communities — especially those fighting the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) — and climate justice warriors …

All month, we’ve been rallying you to kill Manchin’s zombie dirty deal again and again. And it’s essential that we keep doing that work to protect our climate and communities.

All this month, we’ve been telling you about climate hypocrites at Starbucks coffee. The global coffee giant promised to cut global warming pollution in half in 2019. Instead, their pollution and emissions have increased every year. Likewise, Starbucks says they care about their staff — Baristas and other staff are overwhelmingly young, climate-minded, often queer …

Nov 22 Update: The Biden Administration has unfortunately (and frustratingly) approved the application for the Sea Port Oil Terminal (SPOT). This is the offshore oil export terminal we told you about a few moths ago (see below for the original post) that will increase cancer-causing air pollutants in Texas’ Brazoria and Harris counties and make …

Last year, we were honored to join the Red Road to DC, a totem pole Journey from the pacific northwest to Washington DC, stopping at many native sacred sites along the way. The red road tour highlighted the hundreds of Indigenous sacred sites across the country — places of Indigenous foods, medicines, ceremony, burial sites, …

Nov 17 Update – Workers at more than 100 U.S. Starbucks stores are on strike today! Come join us on the picket line to demand Starbucks keep its promises to people and planet! Today’s action is timed to coincide with Starbucks’ annual Red Cup Day, when the company gives free reusable cups to customers who …
For years, we’ve been on the digital frontlines fighting back against Trump and the fossil fueled fascists who use social media like facebook, youtube, and twitter to weaponize lies and misinformation against our communities and climate. After the 2020 election and the Jan 6, 2021 insurrection, social media platforms were under tremendous pressure to clean …
