#ClimateJustice centers the communities that are on the frontlines of the climate crisis and environmental injustice, and must must center LGBTQ+ people – particularly transgender people of color – who experience compounding discrimination and violence. #TransDayOfVisibility

Families across the country are already stretched thin—paying more at the pump, dealing with rising costs, and facing the growing impacts of climate chaos in their communities. From extreme weather to polluted air and water, it’s everyday people—not fossil fuel corporations—who are paying the price.

This five week intensive on facilitating decision making pulls back the curtain on how to build and practice deep democracy for groups resisting authoritarianism and trying to live into our most liberatory values. www.eventbrite.com/e/decision-m...

Today is World Water Day 💦

The US-Israel war on Iran is a disaster for the climate, according to an analysis that finds it is draining the global carbon budget faster than 84 countries combined. Read the full article: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

As artificial intelligence 🤖 continues to expand rapidly, so does the hidden cost behind it: Water. 💧 Data centers consume millions of gallons of water annually, often in drought-prone regions. 💧 Thermal and chemical discharge threatens rivers, aquifers, and ecosystems

In response to Trump’s National Policy Framework for AI, KD Chavez, executive director of Climate Justice Alliance, issued the following statement: climatejusticealliance.org/ai-policy-fr...

Today marks the Spring Equinox—a moment of balance between light and dark, and a reminder of the balance we must restore with our planet. 🌱 As daylight grows, so does our collective responsibility to nurture a just and sustainable future. 🌻

“It’s impossible to disconnect gender justice in climate & environmental justice work. They are linked in ways that also address patriarchy and misogyny as systems that devalue women, girls, and non-binary folks who are impacted disproportionately by the impacts of capitalism…

I'm so disgusted with the US Dept of Energy touting nuclear energy as a data center solution.

The nuclear lobby frames nuclear energy as a “clean” solution to climate change—but that claim doesn’t hold up. Communities on the frontlines of uranium mining—often Indigenous and marginalized—have paid the price for decades through contaminated land, water, and long-term health impacts.

⚡ Data Centers Are Raising Utility Bills As data centers rapidly expand, many communities are facing hidden costs that impact everyday families: 🔌 Data Centers' massive electricity demand drives higher household utility rates, resulting in a projected 70% increase in electric bills by 2029.

AI 🤝ICE We cannot forget the ways Big Tech will gladly jump in to support violence against our communities. Kairos’ senior campaigner on AI, Irna, said it best: “Ultimately, ICE is using cloud technology and AI to centralize power.” Read the piece: www.techpolicy.press/how-ice-uses...

The US is leading a huge global surge in new gas-fired power generation that will cause a major leap in planet-heating emissions, with this record boom driven by the expansion of energy-hungry datacenters to service artificial intelligence. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Federal immigration raids and militarized enforcement are terrorizing our neighborhoods. Families are being torn apart. Communities are being destabilized. Human rights are being violated under systemic policies rooted in colonialism, racism, and xenophobia.

Community members in Dilley, Texas rallied to demand the release of detained migrant families, calling for dignity and freedom for parents and children. The peaceful crowd was met with pepper spray from state police. youtu.be/QoLu6QRESs4

The environmental justice movement didn’t disappear when Trump rolled back protections and stripped our communities of their right to clean air, clean water, and a say in their own futures. It’s held together by local, justice-led organizations and the networks that connect them.

In 2025, a Trump regime erased decades of environmental protections and stripped frontline communities of their right to clean air, clean water, and a say in their own futures. One year later, we are still here. Still united. Still resisting. Artwork by Lynda Grafito

Outstanding point by Climate Justice Alliance here. Elected officials would do well to listen.

Water Is Life. Access to potable water is a human right. Due process for environmental criminals.

When it comes to policy work, those closest to the problems have the most innovative solutions, and are the experts on the issues affecting their lives. We are changing the way governance works by building our power and pathways to solutions that work for us.

Climate justice isn’t just about carbon emissions—it’s about regeneration, democracy, and peace. 🌍🌻 The US government has a shameful history of engaging in coups, occupations, and endless war to secure natural resources that it wants to control and profit from.

While oil is one factor in the decision to carry out military operations against Venezuela, the Trump administration’s real agenda is even more troubling — an attempt to exercise complete political control over Latin America. @ocampomar.bsky.social on Foreign Policy in Focus:

CJA Submits Public Letter with 17 EJ Orgs to Oppose Handouts to Polluting Industries Trump’s EPA is making moves to make it legal and easier for corporations and industry to pollute waterbodies and wetlands. We firmly oppose these attempts by big business & corporate actors to buy out Washington.

Who stands to profit, and who stands to pay, from Trump’s play for Venezuela’s oil? ⬆️Profit: Big Oil + major investors ⬇️Pay: The people of Venezuela, US taxpayers + our climate 🧵 Get into the details with us: bit.ly/4swOFsK

Trump has withdrawn the US from the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) along with 65 other international bodies, treaties, and organizations that lead global cooperation around climate, human rights, security, trade, economics, and international law.

"KD Chavez, executive director of Climate Justice Alliance, an advocacy organization, said in a statement that the withdrawal ‘protects polluters while abandoning all of us, our livelihoods, and Mother Earth.’” Read the full article here: eos.org/research-and...

"This decision is not abstract- it's existential. Trump's draconian retreat from responsibility is one that protects polluters while abandoning all of us, our livelihoods, and Mother Earth. This move undermines treaty obligations, tribal sovereignty, ... [cont.]

Just as a rising tide lifts all boats, migrant rights and climate justice benefit everyone. They are also deeply interlinked — as climate change and the causes of climate change make homelands unlivable or nonexistent, more people will be displaced and migrate within or across borders.
