#LongRead
An investigation by POLITICO lifts the veil on how a “pilot” marine cloud brightening experiment in California abruptly shut down when local officials discovered it had been carried out without public notice.

“What if AI fails? ...or let’s say when AI fails, and the data centers, and those GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) that was the state-of-the-art is now old technology. They moved on to something else. Those power plants will still be in our communities.”
- Dwaign Tyndal, ACE

Dwaign Tyndal of ACE, spoke at the #ClimateWeekNYC panel “Climate Justice in the Age of AI“ about the generational impact that the build-out of AI data centers and power plants is going to have on our communities.

Together we are pushing philanthropists, lawmakers, and business leaders to focus on the expertise, wisdom, and knowledge of frontline communities who center ecological knowledge and are already creating Just Transition solutions.

Nihi Indigenous Media is one of many Climate Justice Alliance member groups, currently on the ground in so-called New York City on Lenape land for #ClimateWeekNYC.

Nihi Indigenous Media is a Guåhan-based, Indigenous-led organization dedicated to building indigenous power in Guåhan, the Marianas, and across Micronesia – through storytelling that is based in community, relationships, restoration, and joy.

CJA members will be on the ground in so-called New York on Lenape land from Sept. 21-28 for #ClimateWeek. We are fighting the bad, building the new, reclaiming our breath, our lands and our future. Local NYC environmental justice & climate justice communities are leading with real climate solutions.

Beyond Greenwashing: Centering Justice and Real Climate Action ❤️🔥🌻

Big Gov Wants to Take Away Your Climate Data | Atmos Lies, damned lies, and (climate) statistics

The EPA this week proposed that the roughly 8,000 power plants, oil refineries, mills, and industrial facilities that for the past 15 years reported their greenhouse gas emissions …would no longer have to do so, calling the requirement “burdensome.” 🤯

🌱 This month, let’s uplift Latinx stories, celebrate Latinx heritage, and commit to justice for all. 🌝 #ClimateJustice #HispanicHeritageMonth #EnvironmentalJustice #AbolishICE

At the same time, frontline leaders, farmers, and activists from Latinx communities are at the forefront of building a more sustainable, just, and resilient future.

The climate crisis disproportionately affects communities of color, including many Latinx neighborhoods that face higher risks from extreme heat, flooding, pollution, and state violence.

🎉 Celebrate National Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month 🌻

As many celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth, we honor the voices, traditions, and leadership of Latinx communities who have long been stewards of the land and champions for environmental justice.

Home | Draw The Line - For life, for people, for the planet. Join us this September to draw the line against injustice, pollution, and violence; for a future of peace, clean energy, and fairness.

Public money should build a safer, fairer, and more sustainable future – not fuel floods, fires, and heatwaves; build resilience, not deepen disasters; and bring justice to those least responsible for the climate crisis.

Why Lelo Juarez Chose Self-Deportation How the current conditions of immigrant detention and Trump Administration policies impelled a farmworker organizer to return to Mexico.

Lelo was targeted because of his history as a farmworker organizer. He was a cofounder of Washington’s new union, Familias Unidas por la Justicia, and helped organize many of the campaigns by Community to Community, an advocate for agricultural workers.

When the government takes away resources for disaster response, weather forecasting, and environmental protection during a climate crisis while increasing policing and ramping up oil and gas production — the message is control, not care. 🚔👮‍♂️

Trying to address climate change without phasing out fossil fuels is like plugging one leak while the boat is flooding from every direction — you can’t win if the source of the damage stays untouched. 🌊

Not only does the US government refuse to save lives and serve communities, it actively hampers efforts by others to do so.

Visit www.katrina20.org for more information and to support the Week of Action, that is taking place right now to honor the past, demand justice, and organize for a future where our communities not only survive—but thrive.

CJA member group Taproot Earth @TaprootEarth is part of the Katrina 20 Local Planning Committee, bringing together community members from Louisiana, Mississippi & Alabama—survivors of Katrina & other climate disasters—to build a shared vision for commemoration, action, & repair.

Katrina is not just a memory; it’s a warning. Without climate justice and real accountability, history will repeat itself.

When the levees broke and the floodwaters rose, the government’s delayed and inadequate response turned a natural disaster into a human-made catastrophe. And when help didn’t come, it was the people—neighbors, community members, strangers in boats—who saved each other.

Hurricane Katrina exposing an undeniable truth: the devastation was not just caused by wind and water, but by the failures of our government.

Decades of environmental racism, disinvestment, and systemic neglect had left Black and poor communities in the Gulf South vulnerable.

20 years ago, on August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina tore through the Gulf South, making landfall near the Louisiana–Mississippi state line.
It was one of the most powerful and devastating storms in U.S. history—claiming over 2,000 lives, and displacing 100s of thousands. 🧵
