Tonight we converged on the Congressional Baseball Game.
We are living through a climate emergency. Yosemite is on fire. An ice shelf the size of NYC just broke off of Antarctica. We’re dying by the million from pollution.
Congress must seal the deal. It’s time.
I'm on a train to DC to help blockade the White House Correspondents' Dinner tonight. Why? Because President Biden has been making the climate crisis worse by expanding fossil fuels, and the news media continues to fail us by downplaying climate urgency and giving leaders a pass
BREAKING: We rolled up to the 30th Annual White House Correspondents Garden Brunch in DC to demand truth in reporting 📢📢
No one can call Joe Biden a ‘climate-friendly president’ while he’s wrecking the planet w/ new oil + gas projects. #EndFossilFuels

BREAKING: we just shut down a keynote speech by Senior Advisor to the President John Podesta. Addressing a room full of millionaires in a 5-star hotel, Podesta said we can only get to net-zero by 2050. So we sang him off the stage.
We are a brand-new, youth-led collective.
In 20 days we will blockade the White House Correspondents Dinner.
We need more people to pull this off. Can you RT and follow along to make this possible?
The time has come and gone for polite requests.
The time has come and gone for being “pragmatic.”
What we need is a revolution.
And we need direct action to get it.
MAJOR UPDATE: we turned out in force to White House Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi's keynote address.
And we shut it down.
The President committed ecocide. This cannot stand. This will not stand.

Manchin has agreed to a (far from perfect) deal to pump hundreds of billions into the clean energy economy. Will the Senator from Arizona follow suit? If not, we will escalate. That’s a promise.
This game was sponsored by BP and chevron.
Here’s the thing:
It’s time politicians stop going to bat for polluters. It’s time they start going to bat for us. https://t.co/sdtWhG44ld
UPDATE: one of our leaders, Vincent, confronted Congressman Barry Moore at the Congressional Baseball Game.
A climate denier and a recipient of fossil fuel money, the Congressman was unable to explain away his record of destruction. So he fled. https://t.co/77XCE4psmu
Emissions must peak within 3 years to avoid collapse. We are living through a terrifying moment - but we are starting to see small glimmers of hope.
The opposition is cracking. Momentum is building. This could be our moment to turn the tide and it must. There is no alternative.

Baseball can wait. The climate cannot.
Congress must act now to pump hundreds of billions of dollars into the clean energy economy. The President must follow up by declaring a climate emergency.
BREAKING: we converged on the Congressional Baseball Game to tell those in power we are in a climate emergency. We have not a moment to waste. It’s time to seal this deal.
We’re coming together to stand up for our future.
West Virginia is flooding, St Louis is flooding. The Pacific Northwest facing a heat wave. The climate emergency will continue to until we stop burning fossil fuels.
BREAKING: 150 people are rallying at the Congressional baseball game, peacefully calling on Congress to seal the deal on a clean energy bill and for President Biden to declare a climate emergency.
