The so-called “Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act” (BAAJA) is scheduled for a vote in the Senate on November 9, 2026. If passed into law, this bill would weaken environmental protections and our rights.

Oppose the “Affordability and Jobs Act” Lawmakers say they need to cut through the “red tape” so big business can build projects faster. But what they really mean is they want to cut protections for people. We are not red tape. Our health, air, water, & land deserve protection. 🌻

Every tenth of a degree of warming we avoid reduces the severity and frequency of extreme heat waves, agricultural droughts, and the risk of crossing dangerous climate tipping points. Every fraction of a degree matters.

Fee and dividend is definitely one way to do it. I'm a believer in building the coalition to win whatever we can but my preferred models of just transition go beyond emissions to address our whole economic model, like @cjaourpower.bsky.social's framework: climatejusticealliance.org/just-transit...
A strategy Framework for Just Transition that shows 6 meta-strategies for transition from our current Extractive Economy to a Living Economy. 
The meta-strategies are captured in the arrows:
- Stop the Bad
- Build the new
- Change the Rules
- Divest ("starve & stop") from their Power
- Invest ("feed & grow") in Our Power

The 6th meta-strategy is not listed but is "Change the Story" which the entire articulation and organizing around this model is doing.

And we’ve seen that when companies ditch their factories, mines, and other physical infrastructure, they leave the clean-up to the community. There are some trends we need to nip in the bud. Ditch the data centers.
