Really appreciate this from @emorwee.bsky.social, especially highlighting democracy as climate infrastructure. Social justice is climate justice and shoutout to @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social and @cjaourpower.bsky.social for all their advocacy. Where are the Big Greens?
Actually, I do know how to do this

It’s held together by local, justice-led organizations and the networks that connect them.

Outstanding point by Climate Justice Alliance here. Elected officials would do well to listen.
When it comes to policy work, those closest to the problems have the most innovative solutions, and are the experts on the issues affecting their lives. We are changing the way governance works by building our power and pathways to solutions that work for us.
