Shame on Palmer Energy (the "Renewable" in their name is a sick joke) for placing corporate profit over community health & a livable climate. Their proposed incinerator is textbook environmental injustice. #TakeTheL #ClimateJustice @AriseSocialJust @JLLederman @johannesepke

The company behind a proposed biomass power plant in Springfield is still fighting to build the controversial facility.
And it's now suing the state for revoking its air quality permit last year wbur.org/news/2022/12/29/dev… @WBUR

"Don't mourn," Joe Hill said. "Organize."
He was wrong.
Mourn and organize.

It's not complicated. #ClimateChange is immoral. It's theft by the rich from the poor, exploitation of the most vulnerable by the most protected. That's why we talk about #ClimateJustice. @CJAOurPower @IENearth @ECJP_NAACP @GreenRootsEJ @interfaithpower

"If you stay on the sidelines, the fossil fuel industry, people who are trying to further subsidize and further prop up this industry that poisons our air and our water and our climate, they are going to win."

Op-ed I wrote published in The Hill this morning.
We must protect our coastal communities from climate induced flooding and sea level rise. Thinking about and wishing I could do more for those impacted by Hurricane Fiona and Ian. Let's do better.

Happening Now: Climate activists demand @MassEEA reexamine the new Peabody peaker plant.
Peabody is already burdened with 2 peaker plants, 15 air-polluting sites, and 85 hazardous-waste sites. We must #StopPeabodyPeaker for #ClimateJustice!

As people of faith, we believe in the moral call to care for our neighbors & protect the environment.The #DirtyDeal would roll back bedrock protections that keep our health, communities & environment safe. @SenMarkey We urge you to reject this dangerous deal.

The Manchin "deal" is a suicide pact. In a #ClimateCrisis we need to end #FossilFuel development, not expedite it. #NoDirtyDeal #NoMVP @POTUS @johnpodesta @SenMarkey @SenWarren @SenSchumer @RepPressley @SpeakerPelosi @CJAOurPower @IENearth @sunrisemvmt @selc_org @billmckibben
The @joebiden-endorsed Manchin plan "would neuter two tools environmentalists rely on to stall, and sometimes tank, fossil fuel projects," "expedite offshore oil leases," and "approve the contentious Mountain Valley natural gas pipeline project" - @AriannaSkibell

I have never seen climate carnage on the scale of the floods here in Pakistan.
As our planet continues to warm, all countries will increasingly suffer losses and damage from climate beyond their capacity to adapt.
This is a global crisis. It demands a global response.
