Take a moment to consider the 250 million people who have been forcibly displaced by climate disasters over the past 10 years…70,000 per day, on average.
If you aren’t one of these unfortunate people, I invite you to consider what you can do to help one or more of them. They need us.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.
