Among the stressors global heating will place on society there’s the fact that adapting to a hotter world is going to cost a ton of money. Stormwater systems, dams, and sea walls will need to be upgraded to withstand more intense flooding. Schools and hospitals designed to retain heat will need to be refitted to […]

If you feel like you’ve heard less from us recently, there’s a good reason for that. We’ve been deep in campaign research, developing what we think will be a central pillar of our strategy for the next several years. We’re not ready to announce our plans yet, but we can say that we’re looking very […]

They can be easy to miss, but in the climate fight there are positive signs: Globally, clean energy investment has doubled fossil fuel investment two years in a row; despite Trump’s best efforts, solar and wind continue to dominate new power plant construction in the US; China’s emissions appear to have peaked in 2024.     Scratch […]

When Donald Trump was elected, we knew our strategy would need to change. Up until that point we’d been laser focused on pushing Wall Street to stop backing Big Oil ― but when the world changes, your strategy needs to as well. That’s why, in early 2025, we officially expanded our mission to have a […]

On Monday, we partnered with Wells Fargo workers to deliver union gift bags to 200+ bank branches across the country. The gift bags included coffee, candy – and an invitation for workers to learn about the union by talking with unionized bank workers. The goal? Support more bank workers getting involved in the fight to […]

As Trump threatens to destroy the electricity supply of a nation of 93 million people, one thing is crystal clear: we, collectively, must get better at building, winning, and holding power. In the coming months and years, we must build a movement powerful enough to defeat authoritarianism, defend democracy, and halt the climate crisis. But […]

Between 2021 and 2024, I had the honor of being the co-director of Stop the Money Pipeline alongside Jackie Fielder. In July 2024, with the full-throated support of all of us here, Jackie left Stop the Money Pipeline to run for a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Four months later, Jackie not […]

In a recent Heated newsletter, the esteemed climate reporter, Emily Atkin, wrote something that stayed with me: “​​How am I supposed to keep writing about, and caring about, climate change and pollution and government capture by Big Oil, when the government is executing people in broad daylight? How am I supposed to watch the country descend […]

The invasion of Venezuela continues the long, brutal history of US imperialism in Latin America. From the overthrowing of Guatemala’s democratically-elected president, Jacobo Árbenz, in 1954, to the Chilean coup of 1973 that instilled a murderous right-wing dictatorship, to the stoking of civil war in Nicaragua in the 1980s, the history of US policy in […]

With Trump attacking clean energy and boosting fossil fuels, it’s more critical than ever that local governments do all they can to combat the climate crisis. Fortunately, hundreds of cities are already working hard to reduce emissions from their buildings, transportation, and energy systems. But in the face of such dire threats, local governments can […]
