We Must Be Smart About Tariffs and Trade
Trump's chaotic and aggressive tariffs have jeopardized green jobs and the pocketbooks of American families. We need a smart approach to trade that supports a clean energy economy and healthy communities. Fifty-eight Democrats in the House of Representatives have signed a letter supporting improvements to a key trade agreement between the US, Mexico, and Canada. Their goal: to protect our economy while maintaining key environmental laws. Let's thank these elected officials for their leadership in climate-friendly trade.

Trump Keeps Toxic Coal Plants Alive
Donald Trump just issued executive orders forcing coal-fired power plants to remain open past their scheduled retirement dates, driving up energy costs and making Americans sicker. We know how to fight back against reckless actions like these -- during the last Trump administration, we closed more coal plants than ever before, and we’re not about to stop. We are also fighting to ensure clean air and water, permanently protect public lands from fossil fuel exploitation, and continuing to move the country to a clean energy economy. You can help: Make an urgent gift today and support all of our efforts to fight for a clean, sustainable future for all.

What's the Best Way to Feed Backyard Birds?
Feeding backyard birds is such a simple delight. Toss seeds on a tray or suet on a feeder and watch chickadees, jays, finches, and a caravan of sparrows take up residence in your little corner of the world -- until they mysteriously don't.
