This illustration - inspired by our fellows - reminds us what the #COP30 negotiations must protect. We need clean air, unpolluted rivers, renewable energy, strong communities, and a liveable future for all children. Let’s choose wisely. ✨

I wrote about all the ways @governor.ny.gov is failing on climate in one place so it's easy to find.
She's no better than Trump. And no, it's not about "affordability."

New in @citylimitsnews.bsky.social today by CF co-chair, and parent organizer @loinbrooklyn.bsky.social :
When it comes to climate, @governor.ny.gov is not much better than Trump.
Climate delay=denial. Our kids deserve a governor who won't set their future on fire.

200+ families just marched to @governor.ny.gov’s office to condemn her cowardly, shameful decision to sell out our kids futures to appease Donald Trump and approve the Williams pipeline. We aren’t backing down and we WILL hold her accountable.

BREAKING:

We noticed, and we're showing up to hold her accountable.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.
The people have spoken: Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City.
As New Yorkers invest in a new vision, we look forward to working with the mayor elect to win the green, affordable city we deserve.
Congratulations to Mayor Elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! We look forward to working for green and healthy schools for all NYC kids alongside your administration! 🌱🎒🎉

The 2025 State of the Climate Report is out and as a MUST READ before COP30 gets underway. Check out these first 2 sentences: "We are hurtling toward climate chaos. The planet’s vital signs are flashing red. "

Have you or someone you know lost a loved one in an extreme climate-driven weather event? ❤️🩹
Extreme Weather Survivors is offering a space for survivors to honor those they’ve lost and explore pathways toward healing in community. They meet virtually at 9pm ET/8pm CT/6pm PT from now until January.
A scoop that I’m not happy to report:
CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution.
heated.world/p/cbs-news-k...
We're heartbrokoen to learn that 2 people died in flooded basements in NYC yesterday. This is the climate emergency, and we need leaders who will stand up to the fossil fuel industry and invest in clean energy and resilience.
