We are proud to join Protect Our Power in defending the Squad from right wing attacks. Our Green New Deal champions in Congress are essential for advancing climate action. Look out for more opportunities to phonebank for Summer Lee Jamaal Bowman Ed.D. this quarter!

UCSD's newest AI can't tell you where it gets the energy it runs from. We will - from the fracked methane power plant on campus. It's time to get off the gas & get on the grid!

As calls for divestment sweep across campuses, it's important to remember the money goes both ways. Research grants sponsored by defense contractors outsource their R&D to our campuses and create recruitment pipelines. Full dissociation now!

Beyond disappointing! MLB needs to step in! The San Diego Padres have a Fossil Fuel Day game today, sponsored by SDG&E, a subsidiary of the fracked methane corporation Sempra Energy, both which regularly block climate action and accelerate the climate crisis while greenwashing. 🥵

"Pioneering role of UC San Diego scientists".... We wonder if he'll mention that UC San Diego still emits over 200,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year from burning fracked methane in its power plant and buses while the Chancellor adds new buildings costing around $5 billion.

After this article dropped, the University of California took down their online database of research sponsors that they've maintained for over a decade. They're afraid, keep on pushing!

Awesome! But this victory didn't just happen, it took staff & students organising & campaigning for change. If Green New Deal at UC San Diego can make a change like this in their community, then so can we all. Read this paper by Adam Aron et al for details on how... osf.io/preprints/psya…

In his famous essay "The Shock of Victory" David Graeber argued: "The biggest problem facing direct action movements is that we don’t know how to handle victory." Our grassroots movement Green New Deal at UC San Diego claims this win. WE DID IT, now the institution lauds it.
