Since Earth Day, 2022, we’ve raised $1,343 for climate justice solutions through the sale of literary chapbooks by our imprint, @riverglassbooks.

This was made possible by offsetting expenses with proceeds from our Global Learning programs.

This is only the beginning. 🌎🌱📚

On #EarthDay, 2022, we launched the Artists for Climate Justice Fund to support climate justice solutions through the arts.

Ecuador is again making headlines for all the wrong reasons. The start of 2024 has seen many sad developments.

There have also been incredible reasons for hope in the past year. Read my report published by @ecostudiofound.

The U.S. is fueling the humanitarian crisis in Gaza by sending arms to Israel that are used to kill civilians.

El #Yasuní es el hogar de los Tagaeri, Taromenane y Dukagaeri, pueblos indígenas en aislamiento voluntario, pero el Estado ecuatoriano y las petroleras están destruyendo su territorio ancestral.
Hoy #Ecuador vota #SiAlYasuni.

[Marley Stuart (he/him) @marleyqstuart]

Today, Ecuadorians vote in a consequential election that could decide not only the next president but also the future of oil extraction in Yasuní—one of the most biodiverse places on earth.

A referendum against mining in the Chocó is also on the ballot in Quito.

#SiAlYasuní

[Amazon Frontlines @AFrontlines]

This is YASUNI, earth's most biodiverse place, under threat from Big Oil

A historic moment is fast approaching in #Ecuador: on Aug 20, Ecuadorians will be able to vote YES: yes to keeping oil in the ground, to protecting forests, to #IndigenousRights!

#YesToYasuni #SiAlYasuni

[Guillaume KALONJI 🇨🇩🌍 @Guillaume0905Kl]

The longer decisions to save the planet are delayed, the greater the disasters that are currently occurring. There is everything in the world to replace the use of oil, except political will. Today I would just like to remind you that there is no future in Oil.
