The Clean Electricity Standard

  Folks, The climate crisis is no longer a problem for future generations. It’s here now, and it’s devastating our communities. In order for us to create the clean energy future that keeps our planet habitable, we need to move toward net-zero carbon emissions — and we need to do it qu…

Voter suppression, abortion bans, and restricting transgender rights

  Folks, You know the game plan by now: Republicans are furiously passing bills to restrict voting in virtually every state that they control. They are cracking down on vote-by-mail, early voting, and implementing ever more restrictive voter ID laws. And the bad news is, they are succ…
