Something we CAN do on the climate crisis

  John – Like you, I don’t need any more convincing on the urgency of our climate crisis. The disastrous impacts of climate change have not only begun, they’re all around us. We’ve missed the chance to prevent the heat waves, wildfires, massive floods and other extreme w…

Justice Thomas must recuse himself

  John – I take my job in Congress very seriously. I took an oath to uphold the Constitution and defend our rights, freedoms and democracy. As one of the core pillars of our government, the Supreme Court is also supposed to uphold and protect the Constitution. It is sup…

More than “thoughts and prayers”

  John, Last week, 19 children and 2 teachers were murdered at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. 21 beautiful, innocent lives were stolen by another madman who had easy access to assault weapons. This senseless act of violence comes on the heels of the devastatin…

We must end financing for fossil fuels

some crypto is bad for the climate

  John, As cryptocurrency becomes more popular and the industry grows, we’re discovering that certain crypto technology can have a massive negative impact on the environment. “Proof of work” platforms like Bitcoin are the worst offenders. They require so much computing …

I am outraged, and you should be, too.

  John, For decades, extreme religious conservatives have tried relentlessly to overturn Roe v. Wade and prevent women from accessing critical reproductive health care — and now, their efforts have come to fruition. Last night, news broke that the Supreme Court has inde…

why me?

  John, President Biden has set a new and more hopeful climate action agenda, and we are making progress. But honestly, we are still not doing nearly enough to end our dependence on planet-killing fossil fuels. Perhaps our greatest challenge is the fact that the fossil f…

The only way we can tackle the climate crisis

urge the USPS to invest in electric vehicles

We need to protect women’s reproductive rights

Regarding January 6th, 2021

Supreme Court to hear major abortion case
