The latest #IPCCreport confirms what we’ve long known: We must reduce our dependence on fossil fuels & pursue #climateaction through renewable energy.

Well said @DrShepherd2013! She’s been confirmed by the United States Senate on a bipartisan basis three times, and still, here we are. She rises above though. Prepared & ready with fresh grace, every day. #JudgeKetanjiBrownJackson

Loved this piece @RobbyK! I especially appreciate you mentioning equity. Since leaving @amchemistry Plastics for the Institute for Sustainable Communities, I understand how key equity is to this challenge. When we center equity, circularity is the result. https://t.co/tUXe9f6iWN

[Brenda Mallory @BrendaMallory46]

Congratulations Shalanda Young on your historic confirmation this week & becoming the first Black woman to lead the @WhiteHouse Office of Management and Budget (@OMBPress).

I look forward to continuing our work together to advance @POTUS’ climate & environmental justice goals.

Make time for this exhibit. Stunning images that really illustrate the urgent need for #climateactionNOW https://t.co/GrqRbdL95c

Enjoyed @coal_and_ice at the Kennedy Center this evening with @phaldipur. The documentary photography exhibition showcases images from over 50 photographers & video artists from around the world to visualize the climate crisis. #ClimateCrisis

[Deeohn Ferris @DeeohnFerris]

Thank you @omaseddiq for this important piece, sharing our voices. It’s a thrill to see this progress. #SCOTUS needs to be as diverse as this country. The confirmation of Judge Jackson to the bench will be another landmark for gender and racial justice. I’m here for it!

[Oma Seddiq @omaseddiq]

NEW: I spoke with nearly a dozen Black women in the legal field about Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's historic nomination to the Supreme Court. They resoundingly said it's a "victory not just for Black Americans, but for all Americans."

My latest: https://t.co/q0kaHWNvQ8

[Deeohn Ferris @DeeohnFerris]

This is a landmark moment for our country. Black women have long-fought for seats at every table. We cannot stop short now. Confirming Judge Jackson as the next Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court is an important step forward for equity.

[Deeohn Ferris @DeeohnFerris]

I know from experience #climatechange isn't a stand-alone issue. Economic, racial, & social factors make it so its negative effects are felt unequally around the world (often by people that look like me). It's time all climate advocates realized this too.

[Deeohn Ferris @DeeohnFerris]

This piece is a helpful illustration of how society has a small window to drive an equity wedge into these climate finance frameworks & how the major announcements on finance regrettably continue to foster human fragility. https://t.co/A4ZlMaqSZX #ClimateCrisis

[Deeohn Ferris @DeeohnFerris]

One down, one to go for the most consequential climate equity legislation in our nation's history. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #ClimateCrisis #ClimateActionNow

We're back from #COP26 & as we all know, there is much work to do. Inaction is NOT an option. I hope you'll check out my new @LinkedIn piece on how the business community can take bold #climateaction. https://t.co/eD78KD4OVS

[Deeohn Ferris @DeeohnFerris]

Great running into @WhiteHouse Climate Czar and good friend @ginamccarthy46 at @COP26 this week. So much #climateaction work to do but we’ve got powerful & innovative people working on it! 💪🏽💪🏾💪🏼💪🏻💪🏿
