It's #GivingTuesday!

If the global climate movement is a mycelial network, then parents, grandparents, and caregivers are some of its mother trees.

A donation to For Our Kids is an investment in our movement’s mother trees.

Let's #GrowPowerTogether!

We’re glad to see #methane mentioned in the #federalbudget —but actions speak louder than words. Canada needs clear targets and timelines to drive these emissions down and give our kids a chance at a livable future. Cut it now - for our kids, our air, our future.

From our friends at Change Course:

We need real climate protection and actions that support Indigenous self-determination, not more government-sponsored and bank-funded resource extraction. Tell Carney and the Big 5 Banks to stop their dirty financing!

No matter where you live in Canada, you can help defend public integrity in Alberta by flagging David Yager’s potentially conflicting roles to the Alberta Ethics Commissioner via @ecojusticecanada.bsky.social

1 in 4 Canadians already feel the effects of climate disruption. It’s time for nation-building, not nation-burning by respecting Indigenous sovereignty and ending fossil fuel expansion that harms unceded lands, waters & communities. 🌎 #ElbowsUpForClimate

If you haven't checked out 8th Fire Rising and their amazing newsletter, now is the time! They're an Indigenous-led coalition working to build a broad-based movement with labour and land defenders. Great analysis of - and resistance to - this new wave of harmful legislation.
