In 2024, manifestations of a changed climate "continued to be felt increasingly across the world, even as the clean-energy transition continued to gather pace against formidable headwinds."

The Climate and Clean Energy Plan invests in communities, protects health, and slashes climate pollution. Rolling back climate progress would be a disaster for our communities: Congress must #StandStrongForClimate to protect a healthier, safer future for all!

Kids are especially sensitive to the harmful pollutants released by oil & gas, yet they have no voice in the decisions that harm their future. This Act is essential to protect their health, hold fossil fuel companies accountable & ensure a safe, clean environment for the future.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

This shouldn’t be controversial: big polluters should pay to clean up their mess, and those who pollute the most should pay the most.

Today I reintroduced my Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act to tackle the climate crisis and hold big polluters accountable. It's time to make it law.

🧵A powerful moment in Oslo today: Nihon Hidankyo accepted the #NobelPeacePrize.

As co-chair Terumi Tanaka stated: “We must not allow the possession of a single nuclear weapon. I plead for everyone to discuss how to eliminate nuclear weapons and demand action from governments."

[PSR Maine @PSRMaine]

Today, we celebrate the hibakusha for the #NobelPrize but not just that. Today we also celebrate their resilience. Without their stories and unwavering dedication, the UN treaty banning nuclear weapons (#NuclearBan) wouldn’t be a reality. #HoldtheMemory🖼️

[PSR Maine @PSRMaine]

It's clear given the elections that the challenges to planetary health will be expanding—from climate policy rollbacks to growing nuclear risks. This demands bold action, and you are key to our response. Consider donating to PSR Maine this #GivingTuesday

A note from the Executive Committee of PSR Maine about the recent Elections:
The recent federal elections did not yield the outcomes we and our planet hoped for, underscoring that our nation remains deeply divided. 1/4
