At the United for Green Schools panel for NYC climate week. Great story from a Chicago school board member on how there was a resolution passed in June to do 12 green school pilots, creating a revolving fund for new money for these protects.

In a world riven by inequality and devastated by climate + ecological crisis, what would it take for "green industrial policy" to empower the working class in Global North + South, and be truly green? New @cplusc.bsky.social report by me and Isabel Estevez (1/3) t.co/78sQQe4d1g

Somehow this NYT piece “dissecting” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ‘s schools agenda fully erased the campaign’s detailed plan for green, healthy schools, which can be read in full on the campaign site: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The climate crisis is a catastrophe we cannot afford to ignore, means-test, or isolate as an ​“add-on” to other problems. Workers and tenants across the country understand that, and are advancing green economic populism at home and at work. So fun to get to dig into it w/ @batul.bsky.social.

Labor and tenant unions can not only win climate objectives as well as economic ones but also build their bases through them. Chicago's @ctulocal1.bsky.social and Southside Together show us how, as recounted in this piece by @cplusc.bsky.social's @ruthygourevitch.bsky.social and @batul.bsky.social.

Recommended read: The @jacobinmagazin.bsky.social examined how the focus of New York City mayor frontrunner Zohran Mamdani on lowering the cost of living can serve as a “blueprint” for embedding climate action in everyday life. 📝 @batul.bsky.social

"Mamdani's campaign has put forth a transformative, green vision of a city that works for the 99%—one that takes on the existential threat of the climate crisis through kitchen-table proposals to improve working peoples’ daily lives + take back power from the richest 1%" jacobin.com/2025/06/mamd...

The Mamdani campaign offers a blueprint for the climate left: the path to full decarbonization must run through working class demands for affordability and quality-of-life jacobin.com/2025/06/mamd...

NEW: Two-thirds of NYC voters support creating municipal grocery stores to bring down prices. "The concept is imminently feasible. In fact, publicly owned grocery stores are quite common and already exist at scale—in the US military."

Last night, Alfredo “Lelo” Juarez was taken by ICE in Washington State, where he has lived, worked, and organized as a farmworker since he was 14, on his way to take his partner to work. Take action against this attack on farmworker leadership now: bsky.app/profile/food...

Batul Hassan: "War is a defining feature, not a bug, of the extractive economy. We can't decarbonize without demilitarizing. The climate left has begun to take up the fact these military activities are meant to destroy. We need to be transitioning from a war economy to a peace economy."
