Families For A Future

We are helping parents come together to protect our kids from pollution and global warming. We're #ForAFuture, so our kids can have one.

[Families For A Future @afuturedotorg]

Inaction by lawmakers is the single biggest obstacle to addressing climate change and protecting our kids and their future. Today, we're launching the Pledge For A Future, so every parent can urge their elected leaders to act #forafuture. https://t.co/wbxiqIvQvR

A survey we ran with @afuturedotorg found that Americans underestimate the concern and support of the majority on climate change, and that stops people from taking action and pushing for solutions: https://t.co/sdMJP1TPhr

More schools are opting for electric busses because our kids deserve to breathe clean air on their ride to school. Toxic fumes creep into the bus’s interior while the bus is idling, causing dangerous particle levels to increase 5x - 10x. https://t.co/y3rby3XK5D

The Inflation Reduction Act provides funds to cut pollution and create safer healthier communities. But it's up to all of us to make sure our city halls and school boards actually take advantage of this opportunity. Let's go! https://t.co/HMIvgFqk5v

66% of voters want to make polluters pay for their pollution.
69% of voters want to move to 100% clean energy.
74% of voters want the government to set limits on carbon pollution.
All of us want a better future for our kids.
What if we voted like it?

[Families For A Future @afuturedotorg]

A majority of voters *in 429 out of 435* congressional districts support moving to 100% clean energy by 2035.

What if we voted like it?

[Families For A Future @afuturedotorg]

Every election matters:
50 senators voted against the Inflation Reduction Act
19 state AGs pushed SCOTUS to block EPA from protecting us from carbon pollution
School boards are being infiltrated by polluters to stop kids from learning kids about climate change.
VOTE. VOTE. VOTE.

[Families For A Future @afuturedotorg]

Happy National Voter Registration Day! To protect our kids, we must elect more leaders who will stop pollution. Check your status now and vote for a future: https://t.co/1YAbtBQ4sV

What took them so long? And what about the 730 schools in Los Angeles County (1 in 3!) that are within this distance of existing oil and gas drilling? #stoppollution #protectkids

Here is one face behind the lies of polluters. He was found guilty of safety violations which caused the death of 29 coal miners—fathers of 59 kids, grandfathers of 10. He profited from making West Virginians sick and overheating our world. Do not take his financial advice.

[Don Blankenship @DonBlankenship]

The biggest financial hoax of all time has been Climate Change.

[Families For A Future @afuturedotorg]

$649 billion a year sounds astronomical - because it is.

Yet that is what it costs us as individuals and taxpayers in direct support for fossil fuels, and in the damage it causes. Lawmakers can change this, and protect our kids, not polluters.

While so many families go into debt to afford college, US lawmakers are giving fossil fuel polluters $649 BILLION PER YEAR in subsidies. That's $7600 for a family of 4!

Lawmakers should stop giving our money to polluters, and fund things that help our kids, not hurt them.

[Families For A Future @afuturedotorg]

The @IMFNews estimates *6.5 percent of global GDP* ($1 out of every $15) is spent on giveaways to polluters. It's hard to find cute gifs that accurately capture how big a fail this is for our kids. https://t.co/qXQrM5K1WT

[Families For A Future @afuturedotorg]

The IRA provides $369 billion to support clean energy.

But fossil fuel polluters still get $649 billion per year worth of subsidies in the US alone.

If our leaders are serious about protecting us from pollution, they need to stop paying polluters to pollute.

Pennsylvania allows fracking wells to be as close as 500 feet from homes and schools. And frequent exemptions mean many wells are even closer.

Our lawmakers allow pollution — they have the power to stop it. We deserve energy that doesn't kill kids. https://t.co/AortTWTAQn

@StreetBomber @USGS The heat trapping carbon pollution blanket is increasing because of fossil fuels, not volcanos. Schools teach trend lines in 8th grade math, so please ask an 8th grader if you are having trouble understanding these charts.

Dallas families are evacuating their homes by boat after more rain fell in 24 hours than usually falls all summer.

They call this a "1000 year flood." In 2018, Dallas had a "100 year flood." What's next?

Fossil fuel pollution is making the future unlivable. Lawmakers must act.

[Families For A Future @afuturedotorg]

@StreetBomber Fossil fuel pollution has — very rapidly — made catastrophes far more likely.

From @USGS: "The term “1,000-year flood” means that, statistically speaking, a flood of that magnitude (or greater) has a 1 in 1,000 chance of occurring in any given year." https://t.co/dyeTqiO1FA

[Families For A Future @afuturedotorg]

@StreetBomber St. Louis; eastern Kentucky; Death Valley, CA; Effingham, IL; and Dallas have all experienced “500 year” and “1000 year” flooding - this month.

[Families For A Future @afuturedotorg]

@StreetBomber Texas updated its 100 year and 1000 year rainfall estimates in 2018. The Texas state climatologist says they may already be outdated. https://t.co/VOhFpUQvq4

This is not what we want our children's summers to look like. https://t.co/sXDvsVygOK
