The lungs of our planet are on fire.

[CNN @CNN]

Aerial footage shows the world's largest rainforest in flames. Brazil's Amazon is known as "the planet's lungs" for producing about 20 percent of the world's oxygen. This inferno threatens the rainforest ecosystem and also affects the entire globe. https://t.co/3Y8x3Le5A6

[CNN @CNN]

The Amazon rainforest:

-Is the world's largest remaining tropical rainforest
-Is home to at least 10% of global biodiversity
-Produces 20% of the world's oxygen
-Helps regulate the planet's temperature

Without it, climate change could become irreversible https://t.co/ExIq4r1XNJ

@RepDonBacon is having a town hall tomorrow, Wednesday, August 7 from 7 to 8 pm at Firebarn Sports Bar. Show up and hold him accountable, for his rhetoric and lack of action, especially conceding common sense gun control. Remember, Don Bacon works for you.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

20 killed in El Paso, TX.

9 killed in Dayton, OH.

Countless others killed as a result of self-inflicted gunshot wounds, everyday gun violence, + more...

And this is in just 24 hours in America.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Hundreds of @MomsDemand and #StudentsDemandAction volunteers outside the White House right now demanding a Senate vote on background checks in honor of El Paso and all gun violence victims.

Leave voicemails for your Senators NOW. Text CHECKS to 644-33.

We have loved following along with this badass team as they break gender norms and WIN! Can we get some equal pay now?

[Omaha Students Union @OmahaSU]

Everyone say HELLO to our new Omaha Students Union president! We know we’ve been quiet lately, but only because a lot of internal work has been happening. Jaden Garcia will be a senior at Duchesne Academy next year, and we are so excited for her leadership and plans!

[students for sustainability @omahasfs]

this national geographic article details students’ fight around the globe for climate legislation. many governments still have little to no legislation to protect our environment, it’s important we keep fighting for change! https://t.co/VgLpYZqVD3

[Omaha Students Union @OmahaSU]

Are you a student feeling fed up with the inaction concerning the climate crisis? This is an EMERGENCY! Join us.

“Children as young as 7 and 8, many of them wearing clothes caked with snot and tears, are caring for infants they’ve just met, the lawyers said.”

This is horrible Democratic leaders and Republicans need to stand up and take action, not sides. https://t.co/8dGFqlQELK

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

One way to help create change is to educate yourself on US gun violence.

That’s why @JohnsHopkins created a *FREE* certified online course – so that you can arm yourself with the facts to fight for life saving legislation.
