@SenatorBraun Well, both "hell and high water" are happening here in the US on an increasingly more frequent basis. We hope some of the $3.5 trillion will go toward proactively addressing the climate crisis!
Politicians in NW Indiana (& across the state) need to be held accountable for this shameful, tragic fact: https://t.co/8zTQ8c9wkg #ConserveIndiana
On 3/11, we're highlighting incredible organizing successes from our customers @nuclearban, @AmnestyKenya, @manuelnatal for San Juan, @carbonneutralIN & @nationalbloc_lb & sharing the strategies that made them possible. Join for inspiring tactics & more: https://t.co/YcRpVS3mOr
Should citizens like those in Franklin, Ind. have to start an organization to defend their children from cancer-causing chemicals? NO. They just need lawmakers who understand the connection between human health & the environment. New column by @laker_anne https://t.co/ereKNFMVRM
Lawmakers need to work with citizens to make renewable energy work in their communities. If citizens tolerated dirty coal plants, there should be a way to make a wind farm acceptable ? We can't wait any longer to #ConserveIndiana
More than 30 Indiana counties have said no wind and solar projects. Now, many renewable companies are saying no to Indiana, taking millions in investment elsewhere.
The state is now trying to override those counties.
More from @LondonGibson and me:

Hunting is an ancient sport that can be done with respect. But what kind of sport is killing an animal with an AR-15 rifle? 7 states have banned killing contests; Indiana should be next. Call your lawmakers to demand action. https://t.co/s2Y8rVzc6N #stopkillingcontests#coyotes
Suicide has skyrocketed among Indiana teens. Forests and nature are free sources of therapy! Tell your House legislator to support the carbon markets bill & oppose the anti-wetlands bill. And visit https://t.co/hhQVn0rOMa for some soothing forest sounds!🌳 https://t.co/ztuhxyEiBY
Indiana is looking to ban cities from banning natural gas, which nowhere in Indiana is currently looking to do.
A dozen other states are considering this type of legislation, being pushed by the gas and building industries.

"Republicans have the power. They have the power to do right by Indiana citizens and protect us from contamination, toxins and industries that poison air, water, land, hearts and lungs." When will they? https://t.co/gVePx4sPxf. Column in @hwypol by @laker_anne. #ConserveIndiana
Lawmakers with ties to the building industry have no business making laws that wipe out wetlands. Ask your Indiana State Representative for a NO vote on SB389, the anti-wetlands bill. Call the Indiana House at (800) 382-9842. #ConserveIndiana#StopSB389#SaveWetlands
Indiana is the most polluted state in America. This isn’t hyperbole – just look at the US Toxic Release Inventory. *We’re number one, we’re number one!* A thread to vent some of my frustration at the Republican supermajority in the Indiana General Assembly. <rant>(1/16)
Surprise, surprise. No state has been more domesticated than #Indiana. Here, private sector interests always trump the health of land & people. But ignoring basic ecological principles always results, in the end, to less not more growth. Good #ecology is good economics. = over $
CALLS TO ACTION: This week we have many calls to action, the majority of which are focused on State Senators. Please remember to personalize messages to your legislators and include key points on the bills you are acting on. #AllTogetherNow
"If we don’t do something, that will be costly, too," said Jackson Dorsey, an assistant professor at IU's Kelley School of Business. Demand climate action from politicians of all parties! #ConserveIndiana. https://t.co/QW17alh4p3
.@potus , thanks for prioritizing climate solutions. I urge you to work toward bipartisan climate legislation in Congress that includes carbon fee & dividend. #PriceOnPollution https://t.co/yZ2bAdiAfx. P.S. It's cool that you beat your grandkid at Mario Kart.
