Proud to be a part of such an impactful night in Vienna. #AWS25 is going to bring the world together!

[SchwarzeneggerClimateInitiative @ArnoldSCI]

Last night in Kitzbühel, we raised a record-breaking 1.55 M euros for climate action 🌱💪 – plus 300,000 euros for the Los Angeles Fire Department’s wildfire efforts.

The momentum continues as we look ahead to the #AWS25 with the motto

Unite in Action: Terminate Pollution.

[SchwarzeneggerClimateInitiative @ArnoldSCI]

Now that we’re almost a full month into the new year, it’s the perfect time to revisit and commit to small actions that make a big impact. ��🌍

Here are some ideas:

1️⃣ Reduce Waste
2️⃣ Choose Sustainable Travel
3️⃣ Shop Mindfully
4️⃣ Eat Green
5️⃣ Advocate for Change

[SchwarzeneggerClimateInitiative @ArnoldSCI]

The wildfires in Los Angeles are a stark reminder of the growing impact of climate-driven disasters. Let’s come together to support the communities affected and take meaningful action to protect our planet.

As 2024 ends, we reflect on an incredible year at the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative. 🌍✨

From #AWS24 to engaging global leaders, we've made strides in climate solutions thanks to our amazing community.

Let’s build on this momentum for a sustainable future in 2025! 💪💚

It’s International Mountain Day! 🏔️

Mountains give us freshwater, unique wildlife, cultural richness, and breathtaking views. Let’s celebrate their importance and beauty today—and every day. 🌄

It was pure joy to welcome home the real action heroes of the USS Boxer after their deployment. These are the men and women that make America great. I told them I owe them and all of our heroes who have served this country my success.

And it was a special honor to receive the Navy Distinguished Public Service award from a fellow immigrant who served in our Navy for more than two decades, @SECNAV.

If you’re a bit confused by all the different COPs and numbers attached to them—especially with three COPs in 2024—you’re not alone! Here’s a quick guide to make sense of it all. 🧵👇

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

After every election, the winner is my President, no matter how I vote. I will help in any way I can, but I won’t be quiet when I disagree (like when three Presidents in a row cut after-school programs and I flew back there to fight). I believe in the will of the people, always.

[SchwarzeneggerClimateInitiative @ArnoldSCI]

At the #AWS24, @CharlotMagayi, founder and CEO of Mukuru Clean Stoves, reminded us that mindful resource use is key to a sustainable future. Small, conscious choices can make a big impact.

[SchwarzeneggerClimateInitiative @ArnoldSCI]

The U.S. presidential election has concluded, and now more than ever, we must unite globally to tackle the climate crisis and pollution. Denial won’t make it disappear—let’s work together for a healthier, sustainable planet. 🌍💪

Brilliant!

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H
