NEW: Our new @PriceofOil analysis of Joe Manchin’s #DirtyDeal shows the likely fossil fuel emissions from projects helped by the bill would dwarf potential emissions reductions from new transmission projects

[Earthworks @Earthworks]

There's a critical vote on Manchin's #dirtydeal at 5:30pET today. Senators who claim to stand for #climate & environmental justice must VOTE NO.

Call or email your Senator today: NO more sacrifice zones. NO big polluter giveaways. #KillTheBill

Stop Senator Manchin's proposal to undermine environmental and community review and fast-track oil, gas, coal and mining projects. #DirtyDeal

Take Action Now!!! https://t.co/f4VSYqnvhO

Manchin formally released his Energy Independence and Security Act of 2022, which had been first announced in July. Since the bill's release late Wednesday, it has been widely criticized by civil rights and environmental justice advocates, and members of Congress.

We don’t have to decide between clean energy and environmental protections. By reforming our mining laws, we can source minerals sustainably while protecting people and special places. #MiningReform

For us, social justice is not a pipe dream, it is based on a collective effort to actively make the planet a better place.

This June and #PrideMonth PLAN will be sharing all things #pride on our socials and highlighting LGBTQIA2+ leaders you should know! #staytuned 😎 🌈

Wouldn’t it be great if mines were required to fill open pits after closure rather than leaving these massive scars that waste groundwater? Sometimes these thoughts bring me back to parks and Rec https://t.co/O9PsbmlnbT

Remember that time in AZ??

We believe in a future where abortion is available in our communities, and people can make decisions about their bodies, their lives, and their futures. Thank you Reno for showing up today and saying #BansOffOurBodies!

We are staring a post-Roe world in the face and the failure to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act is deeply disappointing.

But this is not over by any means.

I'll keep fighting to protect women's lives, liberty, and access to comprehensive reproductive health care.

Since 1872, mining companies haven’t paid royalties on minerals extracted from public lands. It’s time to update our mining laws, stop subsidizing mining operations, and compensate taxpayers. #MiningReform

Today is the 150th anniversary of our antiquated mining laws. This week we'll be sharing messages from community members impacted by mining about why it's time for #MiningReform.
Let's update our laws to protect communities and public lands! @PeeheeMuhuh
