For decades Chevron dumped oil waste onto Indigenous lands in the Amazon, killing thousands. I was there when the communities fought back and won. After 644 days of my house arrest, Chevron's "trial" to criminalize human rights advocacy continues. By @DeathInTheGarden on IG.

Spain banned fracking as part of a new climate change law. #banfracking
Tucked inside an otherwise modest climate change law, Spain quietly announces that its Parliament has APPROVED a nationwide ban on #fracking! The bill is expected to pass the Spanish Senate. 👀 thecorner.eu/spain-economy/s…

#fracking harms human health. New study out of Pennsylvania today, by @EnvirHealthNews
August 19, 2019, was a typical day for Gunnar—he played drums, took the dog outside, and joked with his siblings. But unbeknownst to him and his family, Gunnar had a number of harmful chemicals coursing through his body. ehn.org/fractured-harmful-ch… @KristinaSaurusR #fracturedUSA

Thank you, German activists, who have been pushing and pushing for an end to public subsidies for importing our liquefied climate-killing garbage. This outcome is a major milestone in their campaign @GheorghiuAndy #Fracking = stranded assets

Meanwhile, everybody keeps not wanting US fracked gas. On the heels of France killing financing plans for #LNG imports from Texas, the German utility Uniper is now rethinking its own LNG import terminal in Wilhelmshaven citing “market uncertainty.” reuters.com/article/us-unipe…

We had hoped our non-partisan #banfracking proposal was on the Michigan ballot this year. We are still in the courts. Stay tuned!

Call me radical, but I don’t think Democrats should be promoting something that creates a trillion gallons of toxic waste a year and poisons workers and families across this country. bit.ly/3oh5syW
