This Presidents’ Day, we fight back. Resisting Trump isn’t just for the courts or activists. You are part of the resistance. Every action you take big or small adds up. Let’s build the world our communities deserve. #BuildTheResistance BuildTheResistance.org/feb-17

Bei der #COP29 in Baku wird für alle Welt sichtbar, wie sehr fossile Lobbies und ihre politischen Verbündeten ums Überleben kämpfen. Aus gutem Grund: Das Wachstum der Erneuerbaren gefährdet fossile Geschäftsmodelle überall. Jetzt heißt es durchhalten - und liefern.

🧵Last term, SCOTUS issued a suite of decisions that will undermine federal agency independence and efficacy. In a new blog written with the inimitable C. Slidders of @cieltweets, I’ll unpack the 4️⃣🐴👬 of the coming age of gov’t dysfunction ciel.org/the-end-of-env…

It’s far past time for @eximbankus to #StopFundingFossils and end the use of taxpayer money to finance fossil fuel projects. Join the rally TOMORROW, this Thursday, at 8 a.m. outside of the Washington Hilton to call for the end of EXIM’s funding of fossil fuels! #EndFossilFuels

🏆🌍 We were honored to join friends & partners in DC this week to celebrate the inspiring winners of the 2024 #GoldmanPrize! 🌏🏆 🗞️ Read their stories in this @nytimes piece by @_e_delger, which includes perspective from CIEL's @Ambientalist. ⤵️ nytimes.com/2024/04/29/cli…

📢 NEW: 196 fossil fuel and chemical industry lobbyists have registered to participate for the critical #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty talks in Ottawa. That’s more participants than the entire EU delegation, scientists, and Indigenous Peoples.

Voices raised, signs held high! 📣🪧Led by Indigenous Peoples & frontline communities we are starting to MARCH TO END THE PLASTIC ERA. No more empty promises – let’s go get them! #PlasticsTreaty! #inc4 #BreakFreeFromPlastic #Ottawa

Days before #PlasticsTreaty talks, #BreakFreeFromPlastic activists filled the streets to demand govts deliver a strong treaty! Help amplify their voices on #EarthDay & push world leaders to champion a treaty that drastically cuts plastic production ✂️ 👉 bit.ly/3LMVQIv

you've got 2 guesses where I'm gonna be 🔥✊ who's comin with me??? bit.ly/INC4march

never thought I'd see the White House through Pikachu's eyes (well, mouth) - but Pikachu's gotta do what Pikachu's gotta do to #EndFossilFuels 🔥 Say #SayonaraFossilFuels 😝

Some amazing friends & I are very excited to announce the launch of the Movement Infrastructure Project, a grassroots initiative aimed at getting organizers & activists the tools they need to take bold action, build strong organizations & create change movementinfrastructureproject.org/updates/intro

On April 19 the call to #EndFossilFuels continues! We're calling on @POTUS to be a climate president & stand up to Big Oil. 2023, the hottest year on record, saw countless floods & fires. A brighter & safer future is possible!✊🔥 Are you in? fridaysforfutureusa.org/april-19

Our movement waged an epic campaign to #StopLNG and the pressure worked! Today Biden announced a pause on all new approvals, saying "We will heed the calls of young people and frontline communities." Here's how we won 🧵

🔥Global youth demand a real fossil fuel phaseout at #COP28 from @POTUS, all wealthy polluting counties and world leaders🔥 “What do we want? PHASEOUT! If we don’t get it? SHUT IT DOWN—We will stay day and night, we will stay to win the fight!” #EndFossilFuels #FastFairForever

I have come back to #COP28, because we are on the brink of climate disaster & this conference must mark a turning point. I am here to renew my urgent appeal to leaders: Recommit to the 1.5°C warming limit. End the fossil fuel age. Deliver climate justice. Make #COP28 count.

COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.

At today’s @PriceofOil’s #COP28 press conference, CIEL’s @NikkiReisch emphasized that Carbon Capture is a lifeline for the #FossilFuel industry. Legitimizing #CCS at #COP28 risks derailing the necessary phaseout of fossil fuels. Real solutions are needed to avert climate chaos.🚫

Activists are lining the path to the negotiating rooms at #COP28 as talks stretch into the night. The latest draft text is wholly unacceptable in failing to #EndFossilFuels. We’re calling on our leaders to #HoldTheLine + push for the fossil fuel phaseout we deserve.

Happy 80th Birthday, ⁦@JohnKerry⁩! US youth and NGOs are wishing you a happy birthday with hope that your commitment to phasing out fossil fuels lands in the final text of #COP28. #endfossilfuels
