Juneteenth is NOT the day that slaves were liberated in the U.S. It’s the day that slaves in Texas, years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, found out they were supposed to be free. Learn more about Juneteenth in the thread below ⬇️

Indigenous rights to land and resources are a long-term investment in the environment.

“Ain't gonna let nobody turn me around, turn me around, turn me around.”

"Highest temperature ever recorded in the planet north of 50N latitude also shattered (44.4C from July 1941)" - Extreme Temperatures Around The World Heat records are usually broken by decimals, like a tenth of a degree. And not in June... This heat-wave is just getting started. #FaceTheClimateEmergency

Trying to address the climate emergency and not talking about the fossil fuel industry is like trying to stop your house from burning down while ignoring the arsonist running around throwing barrels of oil on the flames.

Journalists: It is irresponsible to write about the #heatwave and not mention the climate crisis even once.

”Approvals for companies to drill for oil and gas on U.S. public lands are on pace this year to reach their highest level since George W. Bush was president.” We’re not only subsidising the climate and ecological crisis - we’re speeding it up. #MindTheGap apnews.com/article/joe-bi…

We're in DC today to fight for a future where care jobs are good, union, living-wage jobs — because our economy won't recover until Black women, immigrant women, and all women of color do. #CareCantWait

Farmworkers already faced greater Covid-19 risk because they couldn’t work from home. Now, they’re also risking their lives to harvest the nation’s food by working during record-breaking temperatures. insideclimatenews.org/news/09072021/…

We don't need today's IPCC report to tell us how bad things already are. We just have to look outside. But we can't allow our fates to be sealed by greed, the wealthy, the fossil fuel industry, or despair. We still have time. We still have us.

How do we use imagery to heal rather than harm? We’ll be discussing this and other ethical imagery questions on August 25 at 10am PT. Join the Water Hub team w/ experts from Survival Media Agency and Resource Media. Register at bit.ly/3jorKNH

According to the new IPCC report, the carbon budget that gives us the best odds of staying below 1,5°C runs out in less than 5 and a half years at our current emissions rate. Maybe someone should ask the people in power how they plan to “solve” that?

Biden should use the State of the Union to launch a massive national & global effort to end our reliance on Putin-empowering, climate destroying fossil fuels. #SOTU

Organizers in DC are setting the tone for a justice-based livable future — climate policy that uplifts instead of ignores racial justice. President Joe Biden’s #SOTU this evening is the best opportunity to publicly declare his plans to push forward historic climate action.
