New drilling isn't just a catastrophic signal of us stepping back from our climate commitments, it also runs against the geological reality of an almost depleted resource. Our focus should be on cheap, clean fuel for the future - not propping up oil and gas.

Fight for trans people for us all. They deserve freedom to be their beautiful selves in its own right. And it's perfectly possible for a society to accept them, many have & do, this is fascism choosing them as a target. We're all affected, policing gender comes for all of us & makes us less free.

The longer this meeting continues the more you see how it’s a myth that Black and brown people are against clean energy solutions. Many people have spoken up about the impact of gas lines, asthma increase, and quality of air.

We need to buckle up. SCOTUS rolled back critical voting protections for Black and brown Americans, and we have the Trump administration gleefully wasting our tax dollars on pro-gas, anti-clean energy efforts. Where is this country heading and what are we doing about it?

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.
