The people most harmed by ecological violence are usually the least represented in the stories we consume about climate change. That’s why our new podcast with @_counterstream and powered by Wildseeds Fund exists. Read our latest op-ed from podcast host @ShilpiChhotray.

So many in climate movement use the right words & falter when it comes time to walk the walk. The best organizers learn to accept critical feedback, change behavior, and put their money where their mouth is. There’s no time to mess around- fate of the world hangs in the balance!

This is real.
This is happening right now.
This is during a simple #toxictour through Louisiana. The threat is real. Communities pushing back against #petrochemicals facilities MUST be supported! #beyondpetrochemicals #environmentaljustice @HipHopCaucus @risestjames
Happening now…with @risestjames and being held against our will in Louisiana. Doing a toxic tour and not able to leave this back road. Our teams are aware of the situation. This is crazy.

We know from @DSCEJ’s recent study that the problem of petrochemical pollution in Louisiana has only gotten worse, especially for Black communities. Fortunately, we have a lot of regulations on the books to curb pollution— but, first, they must actually be enforced.

"The long-term warming conditions caused by the burning of fossil fuels will likely receive a further pulse of heat via El Niño."
This is no joke. Fossil fuel companies must pay for their crimes.
