"You can pray until you faint, but if you don't get up and try to do something, God is not going to put it in your lap." Fannie Lou Hamer, born this day in 1917. #Faiths4ClimateJustice @greenfaithworld @CJAOurPower @interfaithpower @FightFossils @KeishaBlain @KHayhoe @RevYearwood

Shame on Palmer Energy (the "Renewable" in their name is a sick joke) for placing corporate profit over community health & a livable climate. Their proposed incinerator is textbook environmental injustice. #TakeTheL #ClimateJustice @AriseSocialJust @JLLederman @johannesepke

Governor-Elect @maura_healey: Listen to the voices of Eastie residents. Prioritize creating livable and healthy communities for all to thrive. Do right by EJ communities and uplift the #NoEastieSubstation campaign in your 1st days in office.

[GreenRoots @GreenRootsEJ]

Eastie is not a sacrifice zone! We demand the EFSB to uphold the law and build a safe and just future for everyone. More from our Director of Waterfront & Climate Justice Initiatives @oldmanwalkey ⤵️ #NoEastieSubstation

@mlkdreaming preached the gospel of #EnvironmentalJustice, @divadish2 made a joyful noise & the spirit moved! Then we joined workshops on #NetZero houses of worship, #climate resilience, organizing & local activism. #LoveEarthJustice Video: https://t.co/026yiXTymP #FaithInAction

"Don't mourn," Joe Hill said. "Organize."

He was wrong.

Mourn and organize.

And it's no accident that the great majority of those most harmed are people of color. #SystemicRacism #EnvironmentalRacism #Colonialism

[Massachusetts Interfaith Power & Light @Mass_IPL]

It's not complicated. #ClimateChange is immoral. It's theft by the rich from the poor, exploitation of the most vulnerable by the most protected. That's why we talk about #ClimateJustice. @CJAOurPower @IENearth @ECJP_NAACP @GreenRootsEJ @interfaithpower

A reminder that Africa is responsible for about...2% of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

A powerful statement of #EcologicalGrief from @WilliamShatner. #AllOurRelations

"If you stay on the sidelines, the fossil fuel industry, people who are trying to further subsidize and further prop up this industry that poisons our air and our water and our climate, they are going to win."

This puts into words and numbers what I have felt all of my life and have been trying to dismantle for the majority of my adult life.

Op-ed I wrote published in The Hill this morning.

We must protect our coastal communities from climate induced flooding and sea level rise. Thinking about and wishing I could do more for those impacted by Hurricane Fiona and Ian. Let's do better.

Happening Now: Climate activists demand @MassEEA reexamine the new Peabody peaker plant.

Peabody is already burdened with 2 peaker plants, 15 air-polluting sites, and 85 hazardous-waste sites. We must #StopPeabodyPeaker for #ClimateJustice!

As people of faith, we believe in the moral call to care for our neighbors & protect the environment.The #DirtyDeal would roll back bedrock protections that keep our health, communities & environment safe. @SenMarkey We urge you to reject this dangerous deal.

[Rev. Fred Small @revfredsmall]

The Manchin "deal" is a suicide pact. In a #ClimateCrisis we need to end #FossilFuel development, not expedite it. #NoDirtyDeal #NoMVP @POTUS @johnpodesta @SenMarkey @SenWarren @SenSchumer @RepPressley @SpeakerPelosi @CJAOurPower @IENearth @sunrisemvmt @selc_org @billmckibben

"We live on a planet that, though degraded by the greed of Big Oil, still has such heart-searing beauty . . . where people love and protect each other, family and strangers both. It’s a good world still, and worth the defending."--@billmckibben #ActiveHope https://t.co/IFEGJuQuQA
