Keystone: cancelled. Coal plant: cancelled. Climate Infrastructure bill: cancelled? But it’s still hot out here. Take action to help the activists and lawmakers make it all pop off.

Meanwhile the Amazon burns faster, Tongass's old growth gets some love, and a dwindling pandemic reminds us what action in the streets feels like.

Diego Delso

Each week, we bring you the top campaigns, actions and events — with links to everything to make taking action as easy as possible.

NO CLIMATE,
NO DEAL

URGE DEMOCRATS to reject any infrastructure bill that doesn’t put the climate crisis front and center. 

PROTECT WATER
PROTECTORS

Keystone XL may be dead, but activists are still facing legal charges. SUPPORT THE WATER PROTECTORS who made the victory happen. 

AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN
HIGH ENOUGH

FLOOD THE INBOXES of CEOs that are insuring the Trans-Mountain Pipeline, and tell them to drop the project. 

TEACH KIDS CLIMATE

How do you create a new generation of climate leaders? Teach them about climate. TELL THE UNFCCC it’s time to prioritize climate education.

Your weekly backstage pass to go inside the climate movement and hear what the leaders of the movement are thinking and doing.

Longtime Canadian climate activist TZEPORAH BERMAN knows the Paris Agreement isn't enough to keep fossil fuels in the ground. She's working with an international group to push for a global treaty to stop fossil fuel production, something other agreements have ignored.
