Guam Youth Climate Strike

Mawar was everything you might expect a climate emergency to be. #Mawar #Guam thecolorearth.com/mawar-my-story…

I know I have many things to be grateful for in the wake of Mawar but anyone else just efffinggg exhausted from being resilient during these uncertain times? Like I love LOVE to clean but I think this typhoon broke me.

The House just passed an atrocious $858 BILLION in annual defense spending. That's $45B more than Biden even asked for. Health care? "We can't afford it." Child tax credit? "Too expensive." Defense spending? "Here I just found an extra $45 billion dollars laying around."

If we can spend ~$850 billion on defense, why can't we guarantee paid sick leave and provide health care for all Americans?

16 March 2022: Guam Contractors Licensing Board Public Hearing before the Marbo Cave-solar farm discussion

Let’s breakdown the litigation battles against Samsung E&C America INC. & KEPCO LLC, who are responsible for Guam Power Authority’s solar farm nearby Marbo Cave (btw, the cave is still closed to the public).

Why care: This bill would give a special pass for GPA and KEPCO to build a power plant within 1,200 feet of Jose Rios Middle School. If KEPCO sounds familiar, they are responsible for the destruction of Sasayan (MARBO) cave. 2/3

The war in Afghanistan cost Americans $300 MILLION a day for the last 20 years. But somehow universal health care and preventing a climate apocalypse is too expensive.

How about we stop framing the climate crisis around individual responsibility and start holding the fossil fuel industry accountable?

A hotter future is now "locked in" due to lack of action on CO2 emissions, says a major UN report — calling it a "code red" for humanity. ▪️ Humans "unequivocally" to blame for climate crisis ▪️ Temps may hit Paris limit in 20 years ▪️ Rapid, major emissions changes needed

The right to vote is under assault all over America. Biden must make this his #1 issue, own it, bring it to the people, make his presidency turn on it, make the “For the People Act” a referendum on it.

Here on Earth, in the richest country on the planet, half our people live paycheck to paycheck, people are struggling to feed themselves, struggling to see a doctor — but hey, the richest guys in the world are off in outer space! Yes. It's time to tax the billionaires.

You will forgive me for not having a lot of patience when some of my colleagues in the Senate tell me that we can’t afford to act on climate change. Really? The question that we must be asking, as loudly as possible, is how we can afford not to act?
