Here's a great list of powerful voices for climate justice to support today. I would add Your People at UPROSE π» for their tireless work and mighty impact shifting the debate on local power, off shore wind, clean energy jobs, and resisting gentrification. uprose.org/donate
The climate investments in Build Back Better are fully paid for and funded for ten years. Itβs time for President Donald J. Trump and Congressional leadership to get back to work and find a way to deliver real climate action. If they donβt, their chief legacy will be failure on climate change.
Reversing climate crisis means growing a better economy, strengthening democracy & building power. Evergreen Action moved that work forward with deep investment, tax and regulatory plans & organizing to make them law. Leaving it all on the field indeed & showing what is possible.

I've been quiet on Twitter lately, but I must celebrate the life of William E. Spriggs. Bill's passing is a tremendous loss. He was a powerful advocate, thinker, mentor and friend who moved the field of labor economics. I'm so grateful to have known him. AFL-CIO β Economic Policy Institute Howard University
