BABY, IT'S HOT OUTSIDE

➩ Demand AIG insure our future, not our destruction
➩ Remind Biden of his campaign promises on climate — in front of his home
➩ Stop Line 3: the oil is flowing, but the fight isn’t over

This is our last edition of ITM.earth for this year. After launching in March, readership and momentum behind ITM.earth are exploding — and we have all of you to thank!
