Today I called my kids from DC where I’m lobbying for climate change action.
My 6yo, who can’t play outside today due to 97F heat, asked: “Did they listen to you?”
Thanks for welcoming me to your office @SenatorTimScott @LindseyGrahamSC @RepTimmons. Let’s solve this problem 💪🏼

Grateful to @RepTimmons & his Deputy Chief of Staff Heather Smith for meeting with volunteers from @citizensclimate yesterday.
Congress has the power to quickly reduce climate pollution through effective & thoughtful policy, we were glad of the opportunity to outline solutions.
Love this! Please feature the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act which was just introduced by @RepCarbajal.
We have volunteers who would love to tell you about their years of advocacy to highlight why we need a price on pollution

Will miss my dear friend who had the most vivacious spirit and a kind and generous heart. Dorothy lived her life with a can-do attitude and abundant enthusiasm for everyone she met. Glad I got to spend some time with her back in March while visiting the UK.

“Where are we going?”
“I don’t know, everything is on fire.”
This is one of the most haunting stories I’ve ever listened to.

How did an extraordinary set of circumstances turn Lahaina into a death trap? Listen to today’s episode of The Daily.
