Natural Gas-lighting the people of Michigan into thinking that fossil fuels are a safe part of our future continues to ignore the mountains of evidence that shows the contrary. #SB271 is a clear example of how the voices of marginalized communities continue to be ignored.
“What #SB271 does is actually redefine what counts as clean energy,” MEJC co-Executive Director Juan Jhong-Chung said.
“It’s repackaging natural gas as a clean energy source. To us, 100% clean energy by 2040 is not going to be 100% clean.”

"#SB271 goes against any principles of justice. It goes against science,” said MEJC's climate justice director, Juan Jhong Chung. “We need to stop burning fossil fuels. We need to close down the power plants in Black and brown communities that are so overwhelmed because of toxic air.”

Thank you @RepRashida@RepAndyLevin & @RepDebDingell for standing w/ EJ & frontline communities to #StopTheDirtyDeal. Your leadership made a difference & we ask you to please continue opposing efforts to fast-track new fossil fuel projects in any future must-pass legislation.
Thank you @RepRashida@RepAndyLevin and @RepDebDingell for siding with EJ & frontline communities and opposing Manchin’s dirty deal! Your leadership on this issue made a difference. Please, continue to oppose any attempt to fast-track new toxic projects in must-pass legislation.
@SenStabenow@SenGaryPeters renewable energy is the path towards a thriving future. It’s vital to #StopTheDirtyDeal that fast tracks fossil fuels at a time when renewables are not just the healthy path but also the cheapest form of energy.
@SenGaryPeters will you stand with communities on the frontlines of fossil fuel buildout in Appalachia, the Gulf Coast, Alaska, and beyond?
Vote NO on any Continuing Resolution with Manchin’s poison bill! #StopTheDirtyDeal

Despite immense pressure from the White House, party leadership, special interest groups and the media, @USProgressives held the line again yesterday. Because of their latest courageous stand, we are now closer than ever to securing a better future and passing both bills. 🧵

We see lots of "we're screwed" and "disaster is inevitable." No, it's not - we have the power to act in ways that would create HUGE change. We can't let political and corporate interests ruin that chance.
