Climate justice is housing justice! It has been a challenging few months for tenants and unhoused residents in the District. Legislation like the RENTAL Act and sweeps of encampments endanger residents and our rights. Join @gnd4dc.bsky.social & @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social Tuesday for a townhall!

Save #FEMA! Climate disasters are on the rise and Americans need a fully staffed and funded FEMA. Don't let Kristi Noem kill it like she killed her dog.

DSG and @chesapeakeclimate.bsky.social were thrilled to gather over 100 Climate Week-goers in the center of NYC to discuss how civil society is engaging on #SRM, who needs to be included, and more. We’re immensely grateful to our panelists and moderators for the engaging discussions. #ClimateWeekNYC

Invasive vines can be deadly for forests. But this past year, scrappy groups of @chesapeakeclimate.bsky.social volunteers have helped save nearly 1,000 trees across green spaces in Southeast and Northeast D.C. alone, @samdelgado.bsky.social reports:

#Invasiveplants are one of top 5 causes of our nearly destroyed ecosystems Thank you @chesapeakeclimate.bsky.social for your leadership action 👇
