Fossil fuels are not just heating up the planet— they are displacing communities, they are polluting, they are spilling, they are poisoning…

That’s why *reducing emissions* *only* isn’t the answer— the whole industry needs to be phased out because it’s extractive and dangerous

We need an equitable fossil fuel phase out— any country that blocks this language from the text is jeopardizing our chance to stay below 1.5 degrees

We must implement a just phase out of fossil fuels globally- with the countries with highest historic emissions stepping up first

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

The images coming out of Gaza are horrific. Netanyahu has resumed his genocidal bombing campaign. We need a permanent ceasefire now. End the apartheid. Free Palestine.

[Congresswoman Cori Bush (Archived) @RepCori]

Israel has cut off all internet and cellular communication in Gaza.

They don’t want the world to see what they are doing.

We must not look away from this violence, especially during a blackout.

We need a #CeasefireNow.

NYU law student Ryna Workman was ousted as president of the school's Student Bar Association and lost a job offer after they wrote a newsletter expressing solidarity with Palestinians. Workman says others are now "afraid to speak up in fear that they might become the next me."

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

It is a reminder that information is often unreliable and disputed in the fog of war (especially on Twitter where misinformation is rampant). We all have a responsibility to ensure information we are sharing is from credible sources and to acknowledge as new reports come in.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Thank you to our Jewish allies from across the country who joined in solidarity to call for a #CeasefireNOW.

Chanting “Not in Our Name.”

Join me in adding your name to this petition demanding that Israel halt its assault on schools and places where children are seeking shelter, and that leaders reach a deal to release all children being unjustly held hostage or imprisoned.

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.

There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.

I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.

It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!

So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.

And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

"It's really important to motivate people to show them that another world is possible - and to focus on climate solutions so we can reshape the narrative"- @earthrisestudio caught up with Author and Founder of @isxenviro, @leahtommi at #SolutionsHouse2023

Our cities are not resilient to the impacts of the climate crisis— we must deploy robust adaptation measures and funding as soon as possible

[Xiye Bastida @xiyebastida]

When I say we, I mean structurally: governments need to fund adaptation measures, improve flood response systems, insulate all buildings, create more green spaces, make sure people are safe in times of emergency. We have policy like the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act and Local Law 97 that have paved the way for the city to follow

Congratulations to the people of Ohio for standing together to say “NO” to Issue 1. You defended democracy and protected a woman’s right to control her own body.
