Inside the movement
The weekly action toolkit for the climate movement.
March 19, 2021

HOT FOR HAALAND

Join the Global Day of Action … keep up the pressure on Line 3 … and vibrate to save the planet!

Welcome to INSIDE THE MOVEMENT, a new way to get informed and take action. Here you will find the climate movement all in one place. This week we encourage you to join millions of others in today’s Global Day of Action; continue the fight to stop the Line 3 pipeline; and do what you can to save trees, because more trees means less disease.

But we won’t ignore the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes over the past year. The climate movement must actively work to fight white supremacy and recognize the harm that racist policies and rhetoric have caused over time.

Our house is on fire. But there are things YOU CAN DO — and they don't have to take much time. Each week, we bring you the top campaigns, actions and events — with links to everything to make taking action as easy as possible.

 

FIND YOUR PLACE in the climate movement!

SPIN CYCLE: GREEN
Edelman, one of the largest PR firms in the world, has pledged to “work with an environmental conscience.” The last time we checked, taking millions from a fossil fuel company doesn’t exactly uphold that promise.

RACISM, REDLINING & FLOODING
Decades of racist redlining didn’t just steal generational wealth from black communities. It’s now threatening those same communities with higher flood risk.

Climate science can be overwhelming. Here’s your easy-to-share highlight reel.
LESS TREES, MORE DISEASE

Think COVID is bad? As more forest is cleared around the world, scientists fear more deadly viruses will be released. That means more pandemics could be around the corner.

LET IT BE

What if developing land actually costs us more than leaving it alone? Well, now we have the data. And it shows that converting land for things like logging and agriculture is a loser in the long run.

A LESS AMAZIN’ AMAZON

The Amazon has always been a silent hero for drawing down carbon emissions. But new studies are showing that the destruction may have pushed its ability to the brink: the rainforest may now be contributing to climate change.

EARTH USED TO BE COOL

The last 12,000 years were much cooler than previously thought, according to research published in Nature. That means human-caused warming of the planet is far worse than we thought it was.
