The AI Bubble and the Sacrifice Zone - Alternatives for Community and Environment The AI bubble treats our neighborhoods as sacrifice zones, where air-pollution and water-use regulations can be ignored, where speculative technology can be built overnight without regard for the law,...

Earlier this year, Elon Musk built a gas-burning power plant large enough to power a small city, claimed it was exempt from air pollution laws, and placed it next to Boxtown, a Black neighborhood in Memphis where he had built a new data center.

Silenced Reports & Epstein Files: Murdered & Missing Indigenous Women Still Don’t Make News Long before there was Jeffrey Epstein and his repulsive rape ring, there was the terror of murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls. The MMIW

The #MMIWG2S crisis spans decades, and involves 1000s of cases, and yet, even as the Epstein story captures mass media attention and builds pressure for more prosecutions, Indigenous women and girls and women-identified people continue to turn up dead.

In response to the closure of negotiations at COP30 in Brazil, Mar Zepeda Salazar, Legislative Director of Climate Justice Alliance, released the following statement: climatejusticealliance.org/a-climate-ag...

We cannot wait for governments to lead — peoples’ movements around the world are leading, pushing for change in the flawed UN climate spaces, at the People’s Summit, in our own communities, and beyond.

That’s why we all must make sure the voices of reason by those on the frontlines of the climate crisis continue to ring loudest — that we continue to build people power together for Just Transition. (When we do, we win!)

A climate agreement that doesn’t mention the fossil fuels causing the climate crisis? Make it make sense❗

It’s only “logical” when the process has been co-opted by fossil fuel lobbyists.

COP30 May Establish a Just Transition Mechanism, but Further Progress is Needed to Achieve a Participatory, Inclusive, and Just Transition - Just Transition Alliance Today’s decision by the JTWP to create a mechanism both responds to the demands of many Indigenous Peoples, frontline workers, and the most impacted communities, while lacking the processes, principle...

A Startup’s Bid to Dim the Sun The gloomy arguments in favor of solar geoengineering are compelling; so are the even gloomier counter-arguments.

Many outlandish solar geoengineering ideas surface every week. Some of these concepts are gaining traction in corporate-funded climate conversations and must be stopped. 🚫🛠️🌍

We commit to building a future where every trans person can live safely, freely, and joyfully on a thriving planet.

We remember. We mourn. We fight for justice. 🌱🏳️‍⚧️

Today, on Trans Day of Remembrance, we honor the trans lives stolen by violence, neglect, and injustice.

As a climate justice community, we recognize that the same systems that endanger our planet also endanger trans people—especially Black, Indigenous, and other trans people of color.

The Ecological Cost of AI Is Much Higher Than You Think - Truthdig As the demands of AI grow, each generation of microchips requires more energy, minerals and water to produce, driving a ruinous cycle.

As the microchips behind artificial intelligence grow in complexity, each generation requires more energy, minerals and water than the last, driving a ruinous cycle with no end in sight.

It’s time for our elected leaders to stop rewarding special interests and their record profits. Enough is enough.”

We need Congress to act with sensitivity and urgency to come to the table with a spending plan that puts our health and well-being first, protects affordable healthcare and food access, and safeguards our clean air and water for future generations.

…families, our local communities, & the natural places we all love continues. With grocery prices & everyday costs still too high, & essential programs for our seniors, veterans, & neighborhoods continuing to be cut, big corporations are getting tax breaks & a free pass to pollute our communities.

Our public lands are being weaponized to track, profile, and detain our neighbors. MAGA policies are turning parks into mass surveillance zones instead of places for joy, healing, and connection.

With the federal cuts, it's more important than ever for #philanthropy to step up and support projects like this. richmondconfidential.org/2025/11/07/t...

“To build a world of abundance where all life in endless diversity is given opportunities to flourish.” This is the world that we can actively build, with Indigenous leadership at the fore.

An abundant world is possible, and in many ways, already exists. We need to listen to frontline communities on the ground and implement their solutions —solutions that address deep inequities, the root causes of climate change, and are already proven to work.

While millionaires continue to profit from extraction and deregulation, the only thing that will be in abundance is harm. If that harm continues to fall on communities suffering cumulative impacts from pollution, we must ask ourselves: abundance of what, and abundance for whom?

The climate crisis is only getting worse, yet the U.S is actively deregulating the fossil industry and defunding clean energy projects.
