Help restore integrity to Michigan's legislature! thirdact.org/michigan/eve...

The sun is having its moment and that’s why we’re celebrating Sun Day on September 21. ☀️ If you need more reasons to celebrate the clean energy revolution, read this from @billmckibben.bsky.social👇

Reading Bill McKibben's musings on the President's signature legislation, I was dismayed to learn that not only are credits for clean energy and jobs being removed... the bill includes new taxes on solar and wind, expected to cost households $110 more per year. Oh - it adds subsidies for coal, too.

Lowering families’ energy costs and making our air cleaner should be something we all agree on. This reckless bill to gut clean energy and pollution reduction programs – all to fund tax breaks for billionaires. We will keep fighting back.

Good ideas always spread! Now not just DC but Detroit will find choirs serenading the Canadian embassy on Canada Day July 1.

“The sun already provides us with warmth, and with light, and with photosynthesis, and now it’s willing to provide us with all the power we need. All of us.” Read @billmckibben.bsky.social on why solar power is liberating. thirdact.org/blog/bill-mc...

The House just passed a reckless budget bill gutting clean energy tax credits & handing billions to polluters. ☎️ Call your Senators NOW: Tell them to protect the clean energy provisions in the IRA—they’re saving money, creating jobs, and powering the future. thirdact.org/act/urge-you...

Call your Senators! Urge them to oppose the GOP budget bill! This message from @thirdactorg.bsky.social has a link to a @solarunitedneighbors.org form to help you call your Senators' offices. Tell them: Preserve the IRA consumer tax credits & other clean energy provisions in budget reconciliation.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! thirdact.org/michigan/eve...

Third Act is getting ready for April 5 in our own special way.

New Attendance Record! Today 750 people rallied in front of the Rockville, Maryland Tesla showroom, including quite a few Third Actors! The signs were creative; there were music, drumming, dancing, and lots of joy, as passing motorists honked in support.

Project 2025 and Trump’s are a recipe for disaster, weakening the integrity of our election infrastructure and creating new barriers to voting. This is a direct betrayal of trust. social.demcast.com/s/OT4qHRs5

Today we protested outside of the Tesla location in Akron Ohio. We want to make clear that Musk isn’t just a billionaire—he’s a threat to democracy. We need to stop Musk which is why we are peacefully, but defiantly protesting Tesla – hitting Elon where it hurts!
