Welcome to Monday, December 13th, Sharks and Jets...

SCOTUS said Texas' abortion law can continue but providers can sue.

The Texas law’s enforcement mechanism raises novel constitutional questions because it enables individuals to sue for the enforcement of the law, rather than relying on the government to enforce it.

Thus far, no such private lawsuits have been filed, so it has been unclear whether any party has the standing to raise a valid legal challenge since lawsuits contesting the constitutionality of a law are typically directed at government officials. 

Do you support or oppose the Texas abortion law?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported Friday that the all items consumer price index rose by 6.8% over the last 12 months through October, which is the highest rate recorded since a comparable period ending in June 1982 and more than three times the Federal Reserve’s target rate of 2%.

Month-to-month consumer prices rose by 0.8% in November on a seasonally adjusted basis. That’s down slightly from the 0.9% rate measured in October, but higher than the preceding three months.

How do you feel about the rise in consumer prices?

While the U.S, China, and European Union are responsible for over 40% of total global emissions each year, the environmental burden often falls on those with fewer resources or power. Indigenous communities are among the first to face the direct consequences of climate change, according to the United Nations. 

In the U.S., loss of historical tribal lands and relocation has resulted in Native Americans living in areas that are, on average, more vulnerable to climate change impacts such as wildfires, drought, and extreme heat. 

Climate change is fundamentally an issue of human rights and environmental justice, and Music4ClimateJustice is committed to raising awareness, impacting climate legislation, and investing in the best climate projects and organizations.
