In 2025, while much of the financial sector backtracked on climate action, one key part of the system stepped up: public pension funds managing trillions in workers’ savings. 🏦

"This move shows just how far the administration will go to sidestep our nation’s complex history."

The Interior Department's recent decision to end free entry days at national parks on MLK Day and Juneteenth is "a step backward."

Thank you, ‪@hickenlooper.senate.gov for being the first Senator to publicly oppose the nomination of Sell-off Steve Pearce to be Director of the Bureau of Land Management! Our public lands are not for sale. 

📢 Call your Senators to urge them to vote NO on "Sell Off Steve" Pearce: 1-855-980-5638
Americans need a real steward for our public lands. Steve Pearce, Trump’s pick to lead the BLM, isn’t one.

He opposed environmental protections and pushed to sell public lands when he was in Congress.

Our public lands are NEVER for sale. I'm a NO on his nomination.

Climate change threatens our economy and millions of workers' retirement security.

NYC pensions can set a powerful precedent: asset managers who fail to confront climate risk should expect to lose clients to those that do better.

👀 If the NYC pension boards adopt the @nyccomptroller.bsky.social recommendations and move BlackRock's $42B mandate to other asset managers, it could be one of the most consequential climate-related actions ever taken by a pension fund in the US or anywhere in the world.
Today I’m recommending that NYC’s pension fund boards drop BlackRock and 2 other (out of 49) public markets asset managers due to inadequate decarbonization plans.

Climate risk is financial risk – we need asset managers who will invest responsibly.🧵

In 2024, the planet crossed what many scientists consider a dangerous threshold: It warmed to about 1.55 °C above pre-industrial levels, passing the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 °C threshold. That same year, American utility companies largely failed to do their part to ramp down fossil fuel usage.

With the federal government shut down, states aren’t getting the funds they need to help low-income families pay rising utility bills. Power shut-offs during extreme weather can be deadly.
