IPL federal policy manager, Madison Mayhew joined partners this morning for the White House Forum on Advancing Inclusive Climate Action in Foreign Policy for discussions on more inclusive frameworks to benefit those most impacted by climate change. (1/2)
Climate change isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.
Exxon scientists knew as early as the 1970s that the burning of fossil fuels would destabilize the climate and cause more extreme weather events, so executives lied about it to protect their profits.
Time to make them pay.
Yall please RT any and all posts you see of Frederick Richard. Even though Frederick scored the highest score for team USA, major news outlets are trying to erase him by saying that some other gymnast who only did one event led the team to win a medal.
It’s *because* of my Jewish upbringing and values that I cannot attend Prime Minister Netanyahu’s address today.
Read more about my decision in my op-ed here: https://t.co/CtgaDTZaDk
100+ congress interns are boycotting Netanyahu's address today, citing constituent demands.
"The overwhelming demand is clear: Prime Minister Netanyahu must be held accountable for his crimes against humanity. It is our moral obligation to ensure these voices are not silenced."
The Interfaith Power & Light network spent the day on Capitol Hill meeting with elected leaders to call on congressional support for recently finalized Administrative rules on climate pollution and for strong commitments to international climate funding in FY25.

Proud to be standing with all the brave students who have been peacefully protesting to show solidarity with my people in #Gaza.
I admire the action being taken by this diverse group of students of all faiths - including Jewish, Christian, and Muslim - united against genocide.
More needs to be done worldwide.
They will not silence us!
I know this is being normalized extremely quickly, but let’s take a step back, put political analysis aside, and think about how insane this is. Students across the country are being arrested by actual police for sitting on the lawns of their universities with tents and signs.

We support South Africa's World Court case charging Israel with genocide. Sign the petition to urge the Biden administration to stop undermining the international community’s attempts to hold the Israeli government accountable for its mass atrocities. https://t.co/KRo8nfY9BP
One Palestinian killed by Israel every 4 minutes in Gaza. Entire families wiped out. 85% displaced. 60% of homes destroyed. Palestinians dying from famine, starvation and disease and deprived of the basics.
South Africa is correct to invoke the Genocide Convention
