Kim Sudderth, Hampton Roads #EnvironmentalJustice Advocate, speaks out at last month’s press conference in Richmond, urging Governor Youngkin to strengthen #FEMA—not dismantle it. Our communities depend FEMA to respond to disasters from the worsening climate crisis. #ClimateJustice #VAPolitics

Climate justice is housing justice! It has been a challenging few months for tenants and unhoused residents in the District. Legislation like the RENTAL Act and sweeps of encampments endanger residents and our rights.

Join @gnd4dc.bsky.social & @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social Tuesday for a townhall!
you’re invited!
🏘️🌳 Social Housing Town Hall 🗣️
✍🏾 with Council Member Janeese Lewis George (Ward 4)
🗓️ October 21
🕕 6 - 8 pm

Save #FEMA! Climate disasters are on the rise and Americans need a fully staffed and funded FEMA. Don't let Kristi Noem kill it like she killed her dog.

DSG and @chesapeakeclimate.bsky.social were thrilled to gather over 100 Climate Week-goers in the center of NYC to discuss how civil society is engaging on #SRM, who needs to be included, and more. We’re immensely grateful to our panelists and moderators for the engaging discussions. #ClimateWeekNYC

Invasive vines can be deadly for forests.

But this past year, scrappy groups of @chesapeakeclimate.bsky.social volunteers have helped save nearly 1,000 trees across green spaces in Southeast and Northeast D.C. alone, @samdelgado.bsky.social reports:
How volunteers are fighting the vines strangling D.C.'s trees
How local residents are restoring D.C.’s green spaces — and combating the effects of climate change.

Yesterday CCAN, @actonclimateus.bsky.social, @momscleanairforce.org, & allies stood w/ Congress to reject Trump’s EPA attack on the Endangerment Finding. This move denies climate reality & puts us all at risk. 8K CCAN members helped send 250k+ comments to EPA.
