Last yr I wrote this call to (climate) action 🌍
It aims to help college-educated young ppl realize smart ideas from prestigious institutions aren’t predestined to win w/o power; importantly, potentially, their power!

@PhillyMayor Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW) should stop funding gas lobbies with Philly ratepayer dollars. Especially now, as the gas lobby eggs on Trump’s anti-climate clawbacks of federal funds for Philly. whyy.org/articles/earth-day-…

Are PHL Gas Comm'rs & @PhillyMayor noting the discontent over PGC's absurd regulation to limit public intervention? @MyPGW -the gas utility-has no plan to meet the PHL's own 2050 net 0 goal! Public input on how we equitably get there must be spprtd, not lmtd. @DontShutUsOut🧵
Today, dozens of Phl folks showed up to testify at a PGC public hearing on regulation that restricts public input. Some folks were w/ @powerinterfaith, many were not. Every single one urged the Commission not to enact the undemocratic regulation. 2/4

@MyPGW , the largest municipally-owned gas utility in the U.S., wants to majorly limit public intervention in big budget decisions. Philadelphians are fighting back for an affordable, renewable energy future. #DontShutUsOut
Today, dozens of Philly residents urged the Phl Gas Commission not to restrict public input in PGW budget decisions that affect us all. PGW Needs Our Input for Our Energy Future! #Powerinterfaith #SocialJustice #ClimateJustice #DontShutUsOut

The crisis of plastics in our biosphere (and bodies) is under appreciated.
Urge the FTC to update its "Green Guides" ASAP to prevent greenwashing: actionnetwork.org/petitions/… @plasticsbeyond

hundreds peacefully gathered at Tufts urging a #ceasefire and @TuftsUniversity to disclose and divest. #FreePalestine
ouch, Citi's dropped $333 billion to finance fossil fuels since the Paris Agreement. on a boiling planet, that's immoral, impractical, and insane. #citidropfossilfuels
🚨BREAKING: Climate activists have blockaded the entrance to @Citi @Citibank HQ. Citi is the 3rd largest funder of fossil fuels while trying to present themselves as a green bank. The message is clear #citidropfossilfuels #endfossfuels
BREAKING: Absolute CHAOS at @Citibank this morning as climate activists shut down one of the world’s biggest financiers of fossil fuels.
Thousands of bankers stranded outside. Arrests starting.
We’re bringing the crisis to their doorstep.

We believe in @SummerforPA!
Summer just beat her GOP Super PAC-backed opponent overwhelmingly.
AIPAC promised at the beginning of the cycle to defeat the Squad with $100M—tonight’s victory in #PA12 has made it clear that this cycle is already a failure for AIPAC.
