Big win for Oregon! The Climate Resilience Investment Act (HB 2081A) just passed. This legislation means we are directing investments toward clean energy, clean water, and clean air projects that will pay off. #Orleg #ORpolitics #Oregon #ClimateResilience #CleanEnergy

Climate costs are mounting & will accelerate if emissions aren’t cut. By 2050, we could see $38T/year in losses & a 40% drop in global stock values—devastating millions of retirement funds. Yet investors still treat it only as a risk to individual firms’ profits:

Congratulations, Zohran Kwame Mamdani! Your dedication to an affordable, welcoming, and safe New York City where working families can have a shot has inspired people across the city. Billionaires and lobbyists poured millions against you and our public finance system. And you won.
