Join me in telling @POTUS and @BLM to #StopWillow. Send them a message here: https://t.co/hnixiQScp5

[Elise Joshi @EliseJoshi]

Biden just approved Willow.
He pledged to end drilling on federal lands. Millions of us collectively urged him not to approve Willow and took over the internet in doing so.

And he did it anyways.

[Earthjustice @Earthjustice]

BREAKING: We're going to court. The Biden Administration approved the Willow oil project without adequately assessing its climate impacts. It could've properly weighed its options to limit the impact. It could've said no. It didn't. And now, we are filing a lawsuit to stop it.

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

UPDATE: We’re suing to stop the illegal Willow Project. 

This is a fight for the climate.
This is a fight for local habitats.
This is a fight for our future.

#StopWillowProject ☎️CALL BIDEN☎️ now and hold him accountable!
The Willow Project would lock in irreversible climate pollution for the next 30 years.
Keep your promise - No new fossil fuels!

The site of the proposed Willow oil project has been called "critical" to wildlife by @BLMNational, supporting "thousands of migratory birds" & serving as "a primary calving area" for caribou.

@POTUS, protect the western arctic's wildlife, not corporate profits. #StopWillow

[Defenders of Wildlife @Defenders]

Millions of content creators on TikTok are asking the White House to #StopWillow. We join them asking the White House to, say no to ConocoPhillips. https://t.co/hqHqggjanL

219 wells. 267 miles of pipelines. 30 miles of roads. 280 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions. $19.8 billion in climate change-related damages.

The Willow oil project is a carbon bomb in the making. @POTUS will decide whether to approve it any day now. #StopWillow

[Sierra Club @SierraClub]

This MUST not be the case @POTUS. The Willow project is a climate disaster waiting to happen that would devastate wildlife, lands, AK communities, and our climate. We need to speed our transition to clean energy, not double-down on oil and gas. #StopWillow

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

The Willow project has been estimated to produce 287 million tons of carbon dioxide — the equivalent of the annual emissions from 76 coal plants — and cause nearly $20 billion in climate change-related damages. The only acceptable Willow project is no Willow project. #StopWillow

[KYA ZORA @KyaZora]

Federal law, Joe Biden must stop Willow; a deep drilling project for oil and gas in the Arctic. Home to indigenous people, habitat for polar bears, bowhead whales, caribou and wolves. It will produce 287 million tons of CO2 equivalent annually of 76 plus coal fired power plants.

[People vs. Fossil Fuels @FightFossils]

"Approving a massive new oil drilling project that is estimated to release 280 million metric tons of greenhouse gasses when we are already in a climate emergency is signing away our future." ⤵️

Full statement on @POTUS terrible Willow decision.

[Kathleen Sweeney @wavemaven]

Agreed. #StopWillowProject "The Biden administration has made a colossal mistake." @RebeccaSolnit https://t.co/goDwBDkZAH

[Kathleen Sweeney @wavemaven]

The Biden admin MUST stop the Willow Project in Alaska, the largest oil & drilling project on public land.

Sign the petition to demand that the Biden Administration evade the next climate disaster & STOP the Willow Project before the Monday deadline! ⬇️ https://t.co/eJEP3kQt2x

You heard it here first: We have countersigned a tentative agreement and the strike is ending.

Stay tuned for the official joint statement from part-time faculty and New School management.

We look forward to returning to our students.

[Kathleen Sweeney @wavemaven]

Amazing thread about the students occupy movement in support of PT Faculty @TheNewSchool Yesterday, they occupied the student union en masse and are demonstrating democracy in action. Progressive values writ large. @UAW7902

[Miles Hamberg @mileshamberg]

Yesterday at 3:25pm, students at The New School began their occupation of the University Center on 5th Avenue. The university’s recent decision to suspend pay & contributions to health insurance for ALL workers on campus was an escalation. Students are responding in kind. A 🧵

This interview will bring you to tears. This young activist lost her mother in the protests against Iranian suppression and now bravely carries on the vision for a #FreeIran @RoyaPiraei in conversation with Angelina Jolie. #MahsaAmini

[TIME @TIME]

Angelina Jolie speaks to activist Roya Piraei, whose mother was killed in Iran's protests in September. Thousands continue to protest the repressive regime there.
