Climate Action Campaign

Hundreds of Californians joined our No Denying Climate Change Town Hall with @rephuffman.bsky.social last week. The message was clear: we’re tired of climate denial and ready for action. Extreme weather isn’t slowing down, and neither are we.

This Halloween, the real scare is the cost of fossil fuels. Join us at the EPA on Oct 30 at noon to deliver public comments opposing the rollback of power plant pollution standards. Costumes encouraged, signs provided! RSVP: www.mobilize.us/climateactio...

Southeastern Arizona got half a month’s worth of rain in 6 hours, part of a series of storms that drenched the Southwest this week. Warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, so climate change is making extreme rainfall like this more likely. www.cnn.com/2026/10/21/w...

From 2020 through April 2026, at least 36 utilities in 18 states increased customer bills to recover the costs of extreme weather damage, our new report - released today - found. Utilities must choose clean, affordable energy over costly fossil fuels. Read the full report: app.sosha.ai/s/N9YrVXe4

Rep. Steven Horsford says energy is never just a monthly bill. It’s who breathes clean air and who shares in clean technology. In a new op-ed for The Root, he warns rollbacks hit Black communities from both directions: more pollution, fewer clean alternatives. @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

Rep. Debbie Dingell is calling out the administration’s energy policies: 400+ clean energy projects canceled or stalled, nearly 146,000 Michigan jobs at risk, and bills still climbing. Michigan deserves reliable, affordable clean energy and good union jobs. @debbiedingell.house.gov

Looks like Big Oil used their One Wish Willow to keep us trapped in an expensive, polluted nightmare. 🏭 #climatechangeisscary #peopleoverpolluters #obsession #bigoil

Tropical storms on both sides of the country this weekend led to damage and destruction--and tragically, at least four people were killed when hurricane Isaias hit the Southeast. Climate change is fueling stronger, more destructive hurricanes like this, underscoring the need to take action now.

Isaias, the Atlantic’s first hurricane this season, rapidly intensified to a Category 3. Gulf Coast evacuations are underway, with major flood risk across the Southeast. Warmer waters make this more likely. This is climate change in action. www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...

Trump promised to halve energy costs, but now we're locked into paying a whopping $6,500 more per household over the next 2 decades. Trump really meant it when he said he didn’t care about our financial situations. And it’s even worse for states that voted for him!

Our "No Denying Climate Change" tour is heading to California later this month for a townhall with special guest @rephuffman.bsky.social! As the Trump administration continues to treat us as expendable and put polluters over people, we can't afford to sit back. RSVP: www.mobilize.us/climateactio...

The Trump administration just finalized a rollback of fuel economy standards that will cause drivers to pay at least $1,100 more in fuel per vehicle. It's "kind to oil companies and cruel to the rest of us," says CAC's Margie Alt. www.actonclimate.com/post/cacs-ma...

RESCHEDULED! Join us in Phoenix next week for the No Denying Climate Change town hall with Rep. Yassamin Ansari focused on local impacts of climate change, including extreme heat, poor air quality, and energy affordability. www.mobilize.us/climateactio... @actonclimateus.bsky.social

Americans didn’t ask for higher gas bills. But that’s exactly what this finalized fuel economy rollback delivers. At a time when families need relief, the administration chose to help oil companies instead of American consumers and families. #CleanerCars www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/c...

@senschatz is spot on: these extreme weather events will only continue to get more frequent & more severe the longer we don’t act to address climate change. Thanks Sen. Schatz for highlighting this important issue on the Senate floor! #climatechange #extremeweather #hawaii #climateaction #congress

A new report from @democrats.senate.gov Anti-Corruption Initiative and @epw.senate.gov details just how deep the fossil fuel industry is tied to the Trump administration, and how although they poured millions into his campaign and inaugural fund, we're the ones paying the price.

Gas is $4/gallon. Electric bills are up over 10% since last year. Climate change is making heatwaves worse, and Trump and Republicans are making it harder to afford AC. Utility companies are padding their profits. Working families can't afford the GOP agenda. #ThePriceIsHigh @economicsecurity.us

fb.me/e/4UPNpecp5?... ⚡️ HAPPENING NOW: Speaker of the House of Representatives @repmcclinton.com, @repcephas.com, @actonclimateus.bsky.social, & PennFuture are discussing energy affordability for Pennsylvania families. With federal leadership wavering, Pennsylvania cannot afford to stand still.

AI data centers could push PA business electricity bills up 29%. Small businesses already can't compete with Big Tech's power bill. Time to make polluters pay their share. www.alleghenyfront.org/pennsylvania...

Wednesday, we exposed political corruption and turned frustration into action. Gen Z & Millennials are ready to demand transparency and hold polluters and power accountable. Thanks to NextGen America, NAACP Youth & College, Rise Free Org & The Accountability Initiative for CBCF ALC Week 2026.

Phoenix is on pace for a record 47 heat warning days this year. This isn't a fluke, it's the new normal under climate change. We need real heat protections now. www.kjzz.org/science/2026...

A wildfire that tore through Spokane, WA last month destroyed hundreds of homes, throwing the state's insurance market into chaos. Washington could be next for rate hikes and pullbacks. Congress must fund wildfire safeguards before the next disaster hits. stateline.org/2026/08/05/w...

"Most Americans know climate change is happening and fossil fuels are to blame. But too many of the nation's future leaders are avoiding the issue." tinyurl.com/e3vuz685 @actonclimateus.bsky.social @publicnewsservice.bsky.social

Our record-hot summer might be coming to a close, but extreme heat isn't finished: Record heat is bearing down on the South and Central US. right now. #Extremeheat like this is a public health emergency. Congress must act on climate now.

We closed a cross-country summer with one message to Congress: climate can't wait. Our organizers held 94 events in 40 districts across 19 states, through record heat that's too hot to ignore. #TooHotToIgnore #ClimateChange

Wildfire near Reno, NV has burned 15,000+ acres with 0% containment. ~90,000 people ordered to evacuate or prepare to leave. This is what wildfire season looks like now. We need real investment in prevention and climate resilience. npr.org/2026/08/23/g...

Under the “leadership” of Zeldin and Trump the EPA is selling out YOUR health to line polluter pockets. They’re ignoring science, the effects of climate chaos we’re already feeling, and the people they serve. Just sickening.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is set to repeal climate pollution standards for coal and methane gas plants. This will have devastating consequences for public health and our economy. Dirty Energy companies will get richer than ever while we all pay the price in dirty air and higher bills.

Parts of NJ saw "once in a generation" flooding this weekend, with NY & CT also drenched which led to water rescues, road closures across the region. A warmer atmosphere holds more water, supercharging storms like this. We need climate action now. wrnjradio.com/once-in-a-ge...

Trump's EPA is repealing power plant carbon pollution limits amid record heat. CAC's Margie Alt: "This administration endangers our lives to line the pockets of the billionaires who bankrolled Trump's campaign." www.actonclimate.com/post/cacs-ma...

A federal appeals court just blocked Trump's DOE from forcing a retired Michigan coal plant to stay open on a fake "emergency." No emergency, just a favor to fossil fuel donors that's cost ratepayers half a billion dollars and counting. www.actonclimate.com/post/cacs-al...

This year's El Niño could be the worst yet, drought & wildfire risk in Hawaii, shifting storm tracks over the mainland, wind shear weakening hurricane season. Extreme weather is our new normal. Tell Congress to fund climate science and disaster prep that keeps us safe. abcnews.com/US/potential...

SCOTUS hears Suncor v. Boulder this Oct, will decide if states/cities can sue fossil fuel companies for climate disaster costs. Sets precedent for ~2 dozen similar cases nationwide. Big Oil shouldn't get to lie for decades then dodge the bill. time.com/article/2026...

Of the 320 employees placed on leave by Zeldin's EPA, 193 worked on environmental justice or DEI programs and 113 signed the open letter critical of Zeldin and Trump's leadership. Given the admin's lengthy track record of racist policies and punishment of dissenters, this cannot be a coincidence.

NPR and Boston University found official heat death counts are a massive undercount. CDC data show ~1,700 deaths/year, but the real toll is closer to 9,000—5x higher. Some years top 10,000. It’s too hot to ignore the climate crisis. www.npr.org/2026/08/31/n...

Protecting developing lungs is our top priority! 🫁💨 A new UN report shows heatwaves & smoke are challenging clean air progress. We have the tools: HEPA filters in schools & clean energy transit keep our kids breathing easy! #CleanAirNow #PediatricHealth #EcoMoms www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A Texas highway got so hot this summer it literally exploded and launched a truck into the air. Climate change is pushing America’s aging infrastructure to its limits. Climate solutions are PERMANENT solutions. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The Pentagon is sitting on 165 wind project reviews, even ones on private land. At a time when energy demand is growing and climate change is worsening extreme weather events, blocking clean energy projects makes no sense. We need power that doesn't cook the planet www.cnn.com/2026/05/07/c...

Deadly flash floods just tore through the Grand Canyon. A record-warm Pacific is loading our skies with extra moisture and supercharging downpours like this one. Climate change is happening now, not a distant threat. We need to act on climate now. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

Fewer summer storms does not mean less risk. It only takes one landfall to devastate a community, and climate change continues to make the storms we do get more intense. Have your emergency plan ready now, before you need it. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

Dolly Parton's legacy reminds us that caring for the Earth starts with paying attention to how we treat it. From our mountains to our communities, climate change is already reshaping the places we call home.

For #ORClimateAction, it was great to stop by @repdexteror.bsky.social ‘s Portland OR office today as part of @actonclimateus.bsky.social ‘s “Honk and Wave in front of Rep. Dexter’s Office.” #climate #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction #ClimateCan’tWait

yet another thing to thank Big Oil for🙄

A judge ruled a top FEMA official was illegally fired for doing her job. Under Trump’s Polluters First Agenda, we can’t expect real climate solutions when those protecting communities are punished. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Heat exhaustion is preventable. Working through it shouldn’t be the norm. Everyone deserves a safe workplace. As temperatures rise, so do we! Join us for Heat Week to share experiences and learn how working people are fighting for protections. RSVP for the Aug 28 webinar: https://seiu.co/4xFOGMV

Special guest @RepCasten joined our "No Denying Climate Change" Town Hall on Aug 20! Packed room, real energy. Climate change isn't a talking point, it's the crisis shaping our future right now. He laid out real solutions we can push for. #extremeweather #NoDenyingClimateChange #ClimateAction

It's been twelve days since deadly flooding cut power to Gary, Indiana. Gary is nearly 80% Black, and civil rights leaders say the slow recovery is part of a pattern, not chance. Climate change will continue worsening conditions for our most vulnerable communities. www.npr.org/2026/08/23/n...

The strongest heat dome on the entire planet right now is sitting over the American South. Over 100 million people are facing dangerous heat and humidity this week. Without climate solutions, this is the sick “new normal” climate change is writing for us. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

FEMA approved disaster aid for these states. Trump overruled his agency, killing it, while approving 90% of GOP-led states' requests. Relief shouldn't be political. Everyone deserves help when the storm hits, not just the "right" zip codes. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Hurricane Lala slammed Hawaii's Big Island with 2-3 feet of rain: 100+ homes destroyed, schools closed, bridges wrecked. Record-warm Pacific waters fueled this storm, and climate change is fueling those temps. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...
