"Climate change is not a war, it is genocide. It is domination. It is extinction. It is the most recent manifestation of how powerful men throughout history have sought to steal from the less powerful and dismiss them as merely inconvenient."—@EricHolthaus https://t.co/M8mfTA8Dkb

Census data helps the government decide where to deploy help in the case of extreme weather. It's also part of how regulators do risk assessments--that means the census is a part of deciding if polluters get permits for their projects. We need to make sure EVERYONE IS COUNTED.

#SolvingTheClimateCrisis means protecting at least 30% of our ocean and lands by 2030.

New analysis from CAP (@amprog) shows how achieving #30x30 is key to reducing pollution, storing large amounts of carbon, and creating a healthier America. https://t.co/26ip5hDp2P

@Target is this your ‘design for tomorrow’? Is this fostering communities? Toxic dust covering families on Easter Wknd? #Exchange55 is injustice. Vacate your lease now! #donttargetus #corporateirresponsibility @layshaward .@chicagosmayor

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is one of the few tools communities of color and low-income communities have to protect themselves against polluting projects -- and Trump is rolling it back. Learn more via @NRDC https://t.co/5mBiS36t7S

Workers need strong labor standards to ensure fair and just treatment. In the @ClimateCrisis Committee’s new Climate Crisis Action Plan, they demand the federal gov. only funds projects with these standards. #SolvingTheClimateCrisis means protecting the working class.

#SolvingTheClimateCrisis means addressing the intersections of the climate crisis.

Nature is essential in creating healthy communities but decades of systemic racism have left many communities of color with little or no access to green spaces — we must continue to advocate for just and equitable distribution of outdoor spaces. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 https://t.co/tThwPvDKNN

#SolvingTheClimateCrisis means addressing historical injustices which have disproportionately burdened communities of color in our fight to #ActOnClimate. The @ClimateCrisis’ new Climate Crisis Action Plan seeks to finally end those inequities:

[Green Team Illinois @GreenTeam_IL]

We must #ActOnClimate to protect those that are most vulnerable to the climate crisis.

It's no secret, BIPOC communities face greater impacts from the climate crisis and COVID-19. The time to center economic, racial and environmental justice is NOW.

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

As we move into a deeper public health crisis, we must remember: COVID-19, the climate crisis, and systemic racism intersect and disproportionately impact BIPOC communities. These overlapping social and environmental injustices were here before—and are exacerbated by COVID-19.

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

More than 92 states, cities, and counties have declared structural racism a public health crisis. Watch @JudithHelfand’s documentary @CookedTheFilm to see why. https://t.co/d8U171WuLl
