Nearly 100,000 supporters agree that the Gulf of California needs to remain pristine and free from risky liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects. We need J.P. Morgan to follow suit!

Electrification can cut pollution, strengthen energy security, and support thriving economies. But it must be powered by clean energy and replace fossil fuels, not just adding new demand. 👇🧵

The Trump administration has illegally issued seven different presidential proclamations across six industries to give facilities a free pass to spew toxic pollution. We are already headed to court to challenge these illegal exemptions and will continue to defend the air we breathe.

Climate disasters are already displacing communities. Global leaders must invest finance in adaptation and resilience so communities can prepare for disasters, not just respond after the damage is done. 👇🧵

Scientists warn that we’re on track to exceed 1.5℃ of warming—the dangerous threshold that experts urge us to avoid—as unnatural disasters devastate communities. Despite attacks from the Trump administration, global leaders must, backed by science, protect people and the natural world.

Coal and gas power plants already produce nearly a quarter of the country’s emissions. Now, Big Tech’s data centers could have free rein to spew climate-warming pollution too. We’ll see Trump’s EPA in court and stop this illegal attack on our planet.

The Trump administration’s energy math doesn’t add up. As electricity demand climbs and families face sky-high bills, billions of our tax dollars are being wasted—and we’ll all pay the price.

A new U.N. report found that toxic “forever chemicals” called PFAS pose a profound threat to human rights and the environment. Actor and activist Mark Ruffalo and environmental attorney Rob Bilott have joined the call to ban all non-essential uses of PFAS to protect our planet and our health.

The Trump administration is abandoning the climate fight, repealing pollution rules on coal and gas power plants. It means a free pass for fossil fuel billionaires—and a worse climate crisis and higher electricity bills for us. This is wrong and illegal. We'll stop them in court.

The out-of-date, toxic J.H. Campbell coal plant finally has a pathway to shutting down. Just a week before it was set to close last year, the Trump administration invoked “emergency” powers, forcing it to stay open. It was illegal, and we knew it. Today, the court agreed.

Families are paying sky-high prices at the pump amid the war in Iran. Now we know exactly whose pockets that money is lining: Oil companies reported over $85 billion of profits in just three months this year. It’s so much money that just in the time it took to read this, Big Oil made $180,000.

Grocery stores’ refrigerators use hydrofluorocarbons, a type of “super pollutant” that is thousands of times more powerful than carbon dioxide. President Trump just rolled back a plan to reduce their use—which will mean a worse climate crisis and higher grocery bills, so we’re suing to stop them.
