The State Department fired its remaining climate change staff in the Office of Global Change, eliminating the team responsible for international climate diplomacy, wiping out 1,300+ jobs.
This isn’t “streamlining." It’s silencing climate diplomacy.

While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

The court got it wrong.
Denying transgender youth the health care they need solely because they’re trans is discriminatory, and we will keep fighting.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth can remain in effect.
This is devastating for trans people and our families but doesn’t end our work against President Trump’s attacks on trans people and our health care.
