We’re grateful to @khanna.house.gov for introducing a bill in Congress to stop gas exports during periods of high prices – which would help lower costs and stop opportunistic oil companies from exploiting crises like Trump’s war in Iran. More below and here: https://fwwat.ch/4vKvrl2

It is beyond cruel for the (obscenely wealthy) AI data center industry to displace these people.

Earth Day is TOMORROW 💚 Though times are tough, this holiday always inspires us to build a better world. Will you join us in fighting to keep toxic pesticides out of our food and waterways? Tell Congress to support the No Immunity for Glyphosate Act: https://fwwat.ch/3QkJmhs

Six women have been awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize for 2026. This year’s winners secured major victories against fracking in Colombia, oil projects in the U.K., and mining in Papua New Guinea. Their work proves that local action can drive global environmental justice. Get to know them!

"What the tech bros wanted was simple—to blanket the country in AI data centers and make the American people pay for it. But they didn’t expect communities to fight back—and win."

Trump’s Executive Order to boost the production of glyphosate – the main ingredient in Bayer’s Roundup that’s linked to cancer – is a gift to pesticide corporations. Luckily, there’s a bill in Congress that would undo this egregious act. Support it now: https://fwwat.ch/3QkJmhs

We’re excited to hear creative storytellers like Ada Limón, Matt Wechsler and Maude Barlow bring the fight to protect our planet to life at Against All Odds this year! Join us in NYC on April 29 or online on May 14: https://fwwat.ch/AAO26

Every day, so many people who are not responsible for the problem of plastic pollution are forced to pay for it with their health.

Support for solar energy is just common sense.

Congratulations to the 2026 Goldman Environmental Prize winners! 🏆🌎 These six extraordinary women show that you don’t have to cross oceans to find environmental leadership—you might find it next door. #ChangeStartsWhereYouStand Discover their stories: goldmanprize.org/2026 #GoldmanPrize

The EPA can and should do more to protect us from microplastics, such as requiring water systems to test for these particles. Ultimately, though, the most comprehensive way to stop microplastics pollution is to significantly reduce the production of single-use plastics in the first place!

To no one’s surprise, Trump’s EPA is proposing a chemical recycling rule change that would – 🥁 drumroll please 🥁 – increase plastic pollution! Chemical recycling is an industry distraction from the REAL solution to this problem: reducing plastic use and production.

The USDA could make slaughterhouses even more dangerous by speeding up - or even eliminating! - line speed regulations. We need to make our opposition loud and clear! Tell the USDA to reject line speed rule changes: https://fwwat.ch/4c7FaZJ

This is absolute malpractice, and the rest of us are paying the price with our health.

“In places like Iowa and Texas, renewables matter, not just for additional power, and lower power bills, and clean energy, but also matters for farmers’ pocketbooks.” How are farmers supposed to keep their businesses running under these chaotic conditions?

What do climate activism, hand-woven and dyed textiles and community have in common? They're all passions of Susan Weltman, one of the honorees for this year's Against All Odds benefit! Join us on 4/29 (in NYC) or 5/14 (online) to celebrate arts in activism: https://fwwat.ch/AAO26

As we approach summer and the sun shines more brightly, some of us are thinking more about solar. Here's some practical info!

Would they be fighting so hard to block these lawsuits if they weren't afraid of being held accountable?

These are not the kinds of records we want to break.

ACTION NEEDED: The Packers and Stockyards Act is supposed to offer protections and transparency to farmers and ranchers - but the USDA is trying to delay implementation! Comments are due tomorrow, so tell the USDA to prevent price fixing and implement full protections: https://fwwat.ch/42gOyp6

From Aimee Stone, our Oregon Organizer: Factory farming is one of many polluting industries that uses far more than their fair share of water. In order to conserve water, we've got to hold Big Ag accountable!

The current political climate is incredibly hostile, but we are uncompromising in our belief that farmworkers deserve excellent pay and safe, respectful working conditions.

Gas pipelines are incredibly risky, and this one would fuel further exploitation in the form of an AI data center. This permit must be denied!

Unfortunately, this is very real and not from @theonion.com.

Big Oil is profiting off of so many people's suffering.

Was great to work with @rokhanna.bsky.social to get this bill reintroduced. We need to get off fossil fuels, and in the meantime we need to protect American consumers from oil company profiteering.

By @ianjames.bsky.social: “The slower pulmonary development in these children was similar to the development of those who live very close to freeways.” Looking out for our kids means acting on climate.

BIG thanks to @khanna.house.gov for introducing a bill in Congress to help alleviate the pain U.S. consumers are feeling at the pump as a result of Trump’s war in Iran! We can’t allow Big Oil to export gasoline and exploit markets when people are already struggling.

Practically every day, we hear about another locality pushing back against data center expansion. It's time for the federal government to take note! Tell your Reps to pass @ocasio-cortez.house.gov and @sanders.senate.gov's AI Data Center Moratorium Act: https://fwwat.ch/3L0SMMO

From our own Mitch Jones: “Great credit to the people and state legislators of ME for being at the forefront of a large and swelling national movement to put a halt to the reckless, unchecked explosive growth of hyperscale AI data centers.” Governor Mills should sign this bill ASAP!

"Economic development that does not center environmental protection, public health, and equitable access to opportunity is not development. It is extraction." Expansion of AI data centers is just another example of corporations profiting off of others' pain.

Thank you @profbobhowarth.bsky.social (one of our Board members!) for this reminder. We have renewable energy options that are safer and more cost effective than nuclear!

BREAKING: Maine could soon become the first U.S. state to pass legislation to halt new AI data center construction 🎉 Now, we call on Governor Mills to listen to the will of the people and sign this important bill into law!

That's 250 million reasons why we're fighting this expansion.

The current draft of the Farm Bill includes far too many giveaways to Big Ag, the pesticide industry and other corporate interests. We deserve so much better! Tell your Reps to fight for a fairer Farm Bill: https://fwwat.ch/4c2Br1d

Farmers are on the front lines of the climate crisis. We're proud to be a part of this coalition fighting the EPA's repeal of the Endangerment Finding!

We should be *very* suspicious when universities take Big Oil money to fund research that then informs national energy policy.

We're getting closer to wildfire and hurricane season, but cuts to FEMA mean that people are going without sorely-needed relief and resilience funding.

This administration's EPA continues to be anti-information as well as anti-environment. Make it make sense, please!

We know that pesticide companies are too rich and too powerful, but this shows just how terrified they are of legal accountability.

Even as more people oppose the exploitation of AI data centers, deregulation disguised as "permitting reform" threatens our climate and our democracy. Tell your elected officials to protect environmental review processes: https://fwwat.ch/4cmG9p4

Corrupt administration 🤝 corrupt industry

As usual, @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social nails it.

Studies show that proximity to factory farms is associated with higher rates of some cancers. That's making Big Ag nervous and defensive.

Residents of this picturesque creekside community are rightfully concerned about data centers' threats to water, jobs, climate and more.

The movement to stop AI data centers and

“But from a systemic standpoint, do you really want judges to be drawn from a pool of people who have a stake in the industry?” No! We do not!

The 2026 Goldman Environmental Prize winners will be announced on Monday, April 20! ✨ Watch the ceremony live on the Goldman Prize YouTube channel on Monday, April 20, at 5:30 pm PDT / 8:30 pm EDT. goldmanprize.org/ceremony #ChangeStartsWhereYouStand

What better way to bring our benefit theme of “Illustrating Activism” to life than hearing from young filmmakers who use visual media to tell stories about our planet? Join us, Summit Olson and Angie Chay-Arana in NYC on April 29 or online on May 14: https://fwwat.ch/AAO26

Meatpacking plants are already horribly dangerous workplaces. Lifting line speed limits would further threaten workers' safety, public health and the environment. Speak out against these changes: https://fwwat.ch/4c7FaZJ
