What if unions declared a general strike to cap oil emissions and production, and big engos like Greenpeace helped fund their strike funds where insufficient? What kind of environmentalist + working class solidarity and cooperation do we need for a successful climate movement?

I need to be clear what is happening in Ontario ERs. I need to be clear I do not believe the Ford administration has faithfully served the public. I don't care how you vote. I just want you to know the reality ER patients know only too well. - 1/5

The Caribbean is facing climate crisis without sufficient resources to build safer futures. Our new report takes a reparative approach to the climate/fiscal crisis to understand the scope of the problems and some pathways to climate justice🧵climateandcommunity.org/research/repar…

As a result of past exploitation and ongoing extraction, the Caribbean is swamped with debt, eroded by tax abuse, and can't afford climate action. Our new report puts numbers to this fiscal drain, and provides a policy path aimed at justice and repair: climateandcommunity.org/research/repar…

Even if the UN didn’t break new ground with the commitments from the Pact for the Future, affirming the fossil fuel phase out is and remains the norm for climate change action. Hard fought, and hard won. forbes.com/sites/globalci…

The Overseas Santorini is carrying 300,000 barrels of jet fuel to Israel, transiting the Mediterranean, enough for 1000's of F16 & F35 bombing raids Our calls to prohibit docking in Spain and Gibraltar were a SUCCESS ✊🏾 Join our call to ensure there is #NoHarbourForGenocide.

The jasper widfires are gutting AND I'm begging #ableg to get past the "thoughts and prayers" phase of wildfire commentary and onto naming names and taking action. Not linking this to climate change and fossil fuels IS politicizing tragedy.
