The German coal company RWE threatens to destroy the town of Lützerath to expand a massive coalmine We stand in solidarity with the activists resisting this climate-wrecking project #LütziBleibt

1000s of climate activists have already come to defend #Lützerath. ✊ Join them for the official #TagXdemo on 14 January to stand up against the RWE & the rest of the #FossilFuel industry! More info 👉 alle-doerfer-bleiben.de/demo #LuetzerathUnraeumbar

Police have surrounded #Lützerath in NRW 🇩🇪 & are preparing to start evictions. The village is all that prevents #RWE from expanding its city-sized Garzweiler mine. If @RWE_AG gets its way 🇩🇪 will likely fail its climate commitments.

Brazil’s new President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has issued decrees to protect the Amazon & Indigenous people. In an unprecedented act in Brazil’s history, Lula created the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples “to combat 500 years of inequality.” Via @Mongabay news.mongabay.com/2023/01/presid…

BREAKING: NYT reports a Supreme Court "charity" took $190,000 in secret donations from @Chevron when the company had cases (including Ecuador) pending before the justices. Other corporations also donated. Horrifying. Why are these conflicts allowed?⤵️ nytimes.com/2022/12/30/us/…

Appalling. As fossil fuels destroy our planet, @Chevron and @Exxonmobil are reporting $100 billion in profits in 2022 after receiving huge public subsidies. Biden: a windfall profits tax on the industry is critical. England did it – the US can too. 👊❤️👇oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-…

BREAKING: @Chevron is a global tax cheat as well as a global polluter. While the company refuses to clean its toxic waste in the Amazon, it paid only $30 in taxes on $9.1 billion in revenue in Australia. Chevron might be the planet's top scam artist. theguardian.com/australia-news…
