Hi ,It kind of gets a little tedious to be right all the time, doesn't it? Just as you, Howie, Angela and the team predicted, we're already seeing the lurching toward the right of the Biden administration, as shown in his recent appointments. Noted warhawk John Kerry gets the nod for National Security Council special envoy for climate. He's appointed a noted oil and gas cheerleader and Keystone XL pipeline supporter Cedric Richmond as a liaison with the climate movement. And now he's even appointed longstanding neoliberal and social security attacker Neera Tanden for the Office of Management and Budget. And Janet Yellen, former chair of the Federal Reserve, as Treasury Secretary. The predictable hits keep coming and coming. But there is no way out from this firestorm of austerity and militarism than by building up our Green movement. We have to continue to be the truth tellers...but now we also have to be the builders. That's why we're asking you today to consider a recurring donation of any size to keep powering up our work. Any amount you could manage would be so helpful. It means we will have enough resources to fully build out our youth engagement program that is launching this week. It means that we can continue to produce the weekly live stream show with Howie and Angela...every Tuesday at 8 pm Eastern. It means that we can continue to organize with solid progressives on the ground in Rhode Island and Alaska, to sow the seeds of Medicare for All and a Green New Deal on that fertile-but-fallow land. It means that we can we can keep pushing for a strong Green Party that can easily get on the ballot on all 50 states plus DC. We know that times are tough. They are tough precisely because we have long needed a strong, organized Green movement to take the system to task. If Howie and Angela are committed to keep fighting, so are we. And now it's up to you. In solidarity, Team Howie
