represent the best of America: neighbors helping neighbors,” @NatlCouncilNPs CEO

Philanthropy says it cares about climate justice—but just 1.4% of ClimateWorks’ grantmaking reaches the frontlines. Top-down funding won’t cut it. The rainy day is now a hurricane. It’s time to fund real solutions. Read Part 2: https://t.co/f4WWhqIX5m #FundTheFrontlines
NCRP wants more for the frontlines. @ClimateWorks Foundation must cultivate leadership that reflects and honors those doing the work on the ground and must utilize their resources to directly support the communities with proven solutions. Read part 1 of 2: https://t.co/WYxZ6oT9M5

California’s wildfires aren’t just natural disasters—they’re the result of colonialism, capitalism, and the suppression of Indigenous Sciences and Traditional Knowledge.
For generations, Indigenous Peoples have practiced controlled burns to steward the land, but these traditional methods were outlawed, prioritizing profit over balance. We can no longer continue business as usual. It’s time we prioritize Indigenous stewardship and return to the ways these lands have always been cared for. #DefendTheSacred
As @tidescommunity tells us, climate disasters are not "equalizers." They make inequality worse, especially when funders aren't working to foster community-led rebuilding. Learn how to increase your impact here: https://t.co/wsn3xnwbmA

The Winter Solstice is a sacred time of balance, where the long night honors the promise of returning light.
🌑✨ It is a moment to listen, reflect, and prepare for the rebirth of longer days. Let us welcome the stillness and honor the teachings of this sacred cycle.

Goldman’s words to @JewishCurrents are a sobering reminder, well-meaning actions can align broader efforts to undermine progress. It’s crucial we recognize these patterns & remain united in defending free speech, & the integrity of progressive movements. https://t.co/7pCs9nJRQa
“I don’t believe it was Rose’s intention, but in fact they are playing into the right-wing playbook, which is to repress free speech, repress academic freedom, and destroy the progressive movement. That’s where all this leads, whether that’s their intention or not.”
