It’s Election Day! Today is the last day to vote and stand up for the issues you care about at the ballot box.

Whether it’s the economy, reproductive rights, climate change, or gun safety — your vote helps you have a say in the direction we move on these issues as a country.

Remember, elections are often decided by just a handful of votes. Head over to https://t.co/6tazVuXOIO to find your polling place today. Let’s do this!

Just as the natural world blends day with night & Mother Earth with Father Sky, Two-Spirit relatives embody this sacred duality & fluidity within them. Their unique perspectives & experiences enhance our own understanding of the natural world & how we care for Mother Earth.

Young people fought for years to make the @ClimateCorpsUS program a reality.

Now it's here, and paying 20,000 people this year alone to better our communities and stop the climate crisis. A huge win for our generation.

On Friday, 2000 people were buried alive in a landslide in Papau New Guinea. On Saturday, Pakistan and India hit 50C for the first time in history. Yesterday, a million people fled extreme cyclone in Bangladesh. Every ton of new oil, gas & coal projects will cost lives. It’s time for @fossiltreaty.

🚨 BREAKING: Big banks poured a staggering $705 BILLION into fossil fuels in 2023 alone.

This is no joke: the United States exported more liquefied natural gas (LNG) than any other country in 2023.

Exporting LNG forces frontline communities hit hardest by toxic pollution and climate change to shoulder more unjust burdens. #EnoughIsEnough
