If you dig deep enough into the corruption of our democracy, down there at the bottom of the hole you find...a lot of oil

Outrageous.
These wonderful folks are Third Act Washington partners -- we love them.
Wawa Gatheru was the first Black person in history to receive the prestigious Rhodes, Truman, and Udall scholarships for her environmental scholarship and activism. She founded and leads Black Girl Environmentalist (BGE).

Energy-hungry data centers and the use of unregulated AI are spiking electricity costs, guzzling water unsustainably, driving more fossil fuel pollution, and worsening the climate crisis.
Tell your members of Congress: No New Data Centers! Pass the AI Data Center Moratorium Act.

Quick and easy way for states to tackle energy affordability and boost clean energy: cut permitting barriers for home solar and battery installation. @permitpower.bsky.social
Take it from the WA League of Women Voters:
A person is more likely to be struck by lightning than commit voter fraud.
It's very hot, El Niño will make it hotter, and the latest science shows more danger of Atlantic currents collapsing.
Other than that, it's going great!

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?
Not healthcare, not education, not poverty, not houselessness, not science, not research.
Every vote will count in the midterms. We'll be working on voter registration soon -- stay tuned for events and volunteer opportunities in your area!
Amazing work, thank you Puget Sound Partnership!

Join Tacoma for The People's Earth Day March! 🌲This Saturday, April 18 at 1PM, starting at Point Defiance Park. Demand system change, not climate change! #MarchForClimate #TacomaWA
YES, as we say, THIS! (Always appreciate David's frank framing of the issues. 😂)
This excellent essay from one of our brilliant Third Act Advisory Council Members (and wonderful author) Rebecca Solnit makes for tough but worthwhile reading.
We suggest following it with some browsing of the crowds demonstrating in Hungary, showing a people determined to remove a Trump figure.
A milestone in March: for the first time ever, renewables provided more power on the US grid than natural gas.
As Trump opens public lands to greater resource extraction, and Washington's legacy forests perilously dwindle from timber sales, we need strong action. What does it mean to serve the public good when overseeing our public lands? Sign up: www.mobilize.us/indivisiblet...
