One day after @wusa9 aired this piece on TV last week, sharing our finding of hazardous NO2 levels in hundreds of gas-burning kitchens, it was removed from their site. 🤔
We've got it here, though. Watch great reporting by @scottbroom @sophrosenthal: https://t.co/YIXdROX4it

BREAKING: We SOWED CHAOS at the MoMA's biggest gala of the year, demanding they cut ties with billionaire climate killer and and land thief Henry Kravis. We rushed the stage at the MoMA Party in the Garden and occupied the dance floor, halting FLETCHER's live set 🧵

@ssgranor Wow Moskowitz is so petty. Talk about collective punishment.

What to say to a Republican who complains about the federal debt https://t.co/lEhKH4iKr0

[Beyond Gas @BeyondGasDC]

How have DC residents described @MayorBowser's raiding of climate funds in the budget so far?

"an elaborate shell game"
"broken promises"
"a betrayal"
"money laundering"

We're looking to Cm @charlesallen & ultimately @ChmnMendelson to right this wrong.

[Debt For Climate @DebtforClimate]

🌤️Welcome to a new phase of our campaigning!☀️

✊Let’s talk about the broader transformations that need to happen in the current economic and financial system for #DebtCancellation to achieve true liberation and self-determination for the Global South!

On May 1st, we will celebrate the 5⃣0⃣th anniversary of the #NewInternationalEconomicOrder (NIEO) and stand in solidarity with all the workers around the world in our fight for social justice.
Register here: https://t.co/ZFOcBy4N1a.

🤩Join us for an exciting journey into the history of a radical proposal brought forward by the G77 in 1973 that sought to revolutionize South/North relationships and break out of the colonial legacies cloaked in finance and economics that still dominated global politics and economics in a ‘post-colonial’ era.

⛓️We will discuss how debt is affecting workers in the Global South and what resistance looks like. We will look into the historical context of the NIEO, its core ideas and the reasons why it was never implemented despite being adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on May 1st 1974. What can we learn from it, and most importantly: what would a NIEO 2.0 apt for the challenges of the 21st century, including a climate crisis, and a debt crisis similar to the one following the years after the NIEO signatory, look like?

👉Register here: https://t.co/ZFOcBy4N1a and tune in on May 1st to learn how to break the chains of financial colonialism on this historic day together with fantastic speakers!

This morning, rebels rolled out a giant red carpet from the Wilson Building across the street to Freedom Plaza to invite @MayorBowser to an #EarthDay gala to show what a livable future free of fossil fuel combustion could look like.

📸Seen at the IMF this week.

IMF is pushing countries like Argentina to extract fossil fuels, through loan conditionalities and policy advice. But it tries to hide behind the veil of "neutral" economics. Its economics are NOT neutral!

We're at the @councilofdc this morning, @dcnaacp @IPLdmv @WIN_DC @SierraDC @GoNatureForward Cm @charlesallen & so many caring DC residents to say: we're *ready* for the Healthy Homes Act. DC is ready, our homes are ready, the bill is ready for @ChmnMendelson to schedule in COW!

[Climate Defiance @ClimateDefiance]

BREAKING: We stormed Chevron CEO Mike Wirth's interview at a corporate diversity event. His speech was on "the role of engaged men in gender inclusivity." We chased him out because he's not a man, he's a sick leech, and if he's engaged in anything, it's "killing women of color."

How about just ending your support for gen*c*de, Biden?

[John Hudson @John_Hudson]

New report on the elaborate steps the Biden campaign is taking to shield the president from encounters with pro-Palestinian activists. "The downside is that means he doesn’t reach as many voters,” said one Biden ally, via @albamonica.

The Anti-Patriarchal Struggle Against Foreign Debt:
https://t.co/Q7szyFwLsO

♀️For #InternationalWomensDay Debt For Climate webinar will highlight how this financial trap disproportionately affects women and children.

👉🏽Debt is patriarchal violence. This does not affect everyone equally, but through its high interest rates, it is designed to extract value from historically oppressed bodies and territories, whether women, sexual dissidence, childhoods, racialized bodies, as well as our territories rich in diversity of life and resources.

In this webinar we aim to raise awareness, within the feminist and climate movements, about the connection between debt and women, to generate synergies, strengthen our actions and demand fair measures that are anti-patriarchal.

🎙️Speakers: Luci Cavallero @NiUnaMenos_, Iolanda Fresnillo @Eurodad, Agnès Adélaïde Metougou - PFIAD & @CADTM_int Africa & Shereen Talaat @MenaFem

BREAKING: we just SHUT DOWN the "Sustainability" Summit honoring Bank of America. They've given $279,000,000,000 to the fossil fuel industry since the Paris Accord was signed. They bruised and bloodied us but we held firm. There was no choice.🧵

[Extinction Rebellion Washington DC @xr_dc_]

So @washingtongas wants to force DC residents to pay for climate collapse and @DC_PSC is happy to let them.

It's time the PSC stood up to Washington Gas by saying NO to a wasteful, polluting, billion $ fossil fuel pipeline.

BREAKING: We just confronted David Patraeus. He oversaw the Iraq war and now pushes expansion of fracked gas at private equity firm KKR. With @pop4climate, we exposed his role in driving violence against Indigenous people. Dumbstruck and stunned, he left his own event early🧵
