.@POTUS: "We’ll create good jobs for millions of Americans, modernizing roads, airports, ports, and waterways all across America. And we’ll do it all to withstand the devastating effects of climate change and promote environmental justice." #SOTU
Today, we joined 1000+ groups in sending a letter to put @POTUS on notice demanding he take executive action to keep fossil fuels in the ground and to declare a climate emergency. #BuildBackFossilFree
Let us look into the eyes of the discarded people we meet, let us be provoked by the faces of children, the children of desperate migrants. Let us allow ourselves to be moved by their suffering in order to react to our indifference. #MigrantsDay
Joe Manchin makes $500,000 a year from one of the dirtiest coal plants in West Virginia. That’s more than twice his salary as U.S. senator. How is this even legal?
New report by @Interior does not go far enough to protect our communities from fossil fuel extraction. We need @POTUS to keep his promise and stop all new fossil fuel leases on our public lands! #BuildBackFossilFree

Time is running out. Change won’t come from these conferences like #COP26 unless there is big public pressure from the outside.
Join the climate strike this Friday (Kelvingrove Park 11am), and the climate march Saturday (11.30am) to make your voice heard. Together we are strong.
It’s time to build an economy that works for working families. An economy where people from every race, background, and religion can get ahead.
Our Build Back Better Agenda will get it done.
The cost of the Build Back Better Agenda is $0.
The President's plan won't add to our national deficit and no one making under $400,000 per year will see their taxes go up a single penny. It's fully paid for by ensuring big corporations and the very wealthy pay their fair share.
BREAKING: Indigenous Leaders are occupying the Bureau of Indian Affairs in DC for the first time since the 1970's. #PeopleVsFossilFuels
INSIDE THE BUILDING:
We have a path to usher in a new era of economic growth that benefits everybody, not just those at the top, with the Build Back Better Agenda and Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal.
I now believe that if I live into my 90s, I have a high chance of witnessing systemic environmental collapse.
By systemic environmental collapse, I mean something specific: an Earth system passing its critical threshold, then triggering the tipping of other systems.
I'm 58.
To respond concretely to the serious phenomenon of global warming is a moral imperative. Lack of action will have secondary effects, especially on the poorest, who are also the most vulnerable. #SeasonOfCreation
Shared on Mark’s IG 19 hours ago…@GatewayPeople is this what you believe and stand by? @BoweDante and @karijobe this is who was platformed at the conference you lead worship at.
400 richest Americans wealth in 1991: $288 billion
400 richest Americans wealth in 2021: $3.2 trillion

We must create an economy that works for all of us, not just the billionaire class.
