#ExtremeWeatherSZN brought to you by Trump and Lee Zeldin's #PollutersFirst Agenda. Climate pollution is making heat waves more intense and frequent, exposing our communities to more dangerous heat - take action against Trump's rollbacks. #ExtremeWeatherWednesday actionnetwork.org/petitions/op...

The Republicans' Big, Beautiful-for-Billionaires bill is exactly what their fossil fuel megadonors paid for. They're selling out American families, all to help Big Oil sell more gasoline.

When wealthy fossil fuel CEOs damage the climate, America pays the price in heat waves, fires, and floods.

“The loss of expertise within FEMA is something that you can’t rebuild quickly, and if you don’t have it in a response, things can go sideways very fast,” @samlmontano.bsky.social‬ said.

Extreme heat continues this week in Michigan. 🥵We can make sure that communities have the resources and knowledge to stay safe. 🩺💧🌎#extremeweatherszn #staysafe #stayhealthy

“I care about climate action because I don’t want a disaster to destroy your community too.” - Thank you Councilwoman Maggie Ullman for speaking up on the impacts of extreme weather. Without urgent climate action, #ExtremeWeatherSZN will worsen and continue to harm our communities.

Summer may be just getting started, but #ExtremeWeatherSZN is year-round. Climate pollution is making severe weather more frequent, intense and dangerous, and without critical climate protections, our communities will suffer.

157+ million people in the US are under extreme weather alerts. Meanwhile, the Trump admin is attacking science—backed by the same fossil fuel interests driving the climate crisis. Stay informed & take action: dangerseason.ucs.org 🔥 #DangerSeason

These clean energy projects represented thousands of good-paying jobs and more affordable energy for Americans. This is a result of Trump's war on clean energy and his payoff to Big Oil — and it'll only get worse if Republicans pass their giveaway to billionaires. What a disgrace.

With #extremeHeat 🔥🔥 hitting much of the USA 🇺🇸 here is how heat impacts your health 🔥 #heatwave #momsky www.momscleanairforce.org/resources/he...

This week's heat wave is a stark reminder that federal and state policymakers must take action to protect workers and to reduce the health and economic damages brought on by work exposure to extreme heat. www.americanprogress.org/article/extr...

If we don’t stop the pollution fueling the climate crisis more people will suffer from extreme weather events like Hurricane Helene. That’s why we were in Asheville last week for our Extreme Weather People’s Hearing - to highlight the very real impacts of inaction on the climate crisis.

Our highlights from this year so far 👀

The Trump administration is planning to force two dirty Michigan coal plants — including one responsible for more arsenic water pollution than any other U.S. power plant — to stay open. Not only is this devastating for public health, but it would cost ratepayers hundreds of millions of dollars.

It’s gonna cost you…

2024 was the hottest year on record worldwide and here in Arizona we continue to heat up and break records. Extreme weather devastates communities. Now, more than ever, we need to take action on climate change. That's why we're joining #ShowYourStripes Day to remind us: #ClimateCantWait.

Thank you, Senator @SenMarkKelly, for supporting the Aerial Firefighting Enhancement Act! 🙌🔥 As climate change fuels longer and more dangerous wildfire seasons, legislation like this is essential to protect our communities and our future. #ClimateCantWait 🔗 t.co/uR3q1Tod7O

Proud to #showyourstripes today and everyday because #climatecantwait

It's already #ShowYourStripes day in many places like New Zealand, Australia, Japan and Papua New Guinea. All these countries are warming rapidly. Visit www.ShowYourStripes.info to find your warming stripes with 4 different designs. Start a climate conversation online or with friends and family?

Today is #ShowYourStripes Day - a global moment to highlight the reality and urgency of the climate crisis. Thanks to everyone in our community that has joined us in showing our stripes over the past few months, reminding us all that #ClimateCantWait! @edhawkins.org @uniofreading.bsky.social

Stories like Sam's are becoming too common as climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme weather. And instead of taking action to protect us, Lee Zeldin's EPA continues to put #PollutersFirst. Tell Zeldin he doesn't have our support: actionnetwork.org/petitions/op...

Thanks to those in Asheville who shared their experiences living through Hurricane Helene and spoke up against Trump’s #PollutersFirst Agenda that will worsen hurricanes, fires, and other extreme weather events that harm our communities. Join us in taking action: actionnetwork.org/petitions/op...

We’re in Asheville tonight for our first Extreme Weather People's Hearing to hear from North Carolinians impacted by Hurricane Helene last year. Climate change will only make extreme weather events like this one more frequent and severe, so we must act now. #ClimateCantWait

The Republican Finance draft is a head fake and farce. It increases energy costs. Period. The quick phaseout for solar and wind alone will make energy more expensive, make it harder to compete with China, and kill thousands upon thousands of jobs across the country, mostly in Republican districts.

“Eliminating pollution standards from the largest industrial source of greenhouse gas pollution in the United States flies in the face of what the law requires, what the science tells us, and what we’re seeing every day.” - Jill Tauber, Earthjustice VP of climate and energy

Senate Republicans had a choice and chose wrong. This bill still amounts to a repeal of clean energy credits that will cost their own constituents jobs and hundreds more on their energy bills. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/c...

Senate Republicans on the Finance Committee just released their version of the House’s disastrous budget. It still: ❌ Slashes clean energy 🏢 Kills good-paying jobs 📈 Raises costs for families

El verano apenas comienza, pero #ExtremeWeatherSZN dura todo el año. La contaminación que causa el cambio climático intensifica el clima extremo. Sin medidas que protejan el clima, nuestras comunidades serán las más afectadas. app.sosha.ai/s/ggVVbVfa

How will cuts to federal disaster response and preparedness impact you during hurricane season? @envdefensefund.bsky.social ’s Will McDow and other industry experts discuss the implications in a new Charlotte Talks episode. Listen now: bit.ly/448z73b

I joined 8,000 environmental leaders to push back on Trump's “Big, Ugly Betrayal." The GOP plan raises taxes on energy, increases costs for families and businesses, and kills hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs to give tax breaks to billionaires. We won't stop fighting back.

Our hearts go out to everyone in West Virginia affected by this deadly flooding, and hoping folks in Pennsylvania stay safe as rain continues there. Climate change is making flood like this more common — which is why we need to #actonclimate now. www.post-gazette.com/news/weather...

No matter where we live or what we look like, most of us want to breathe clean air and live in a healthy climate. But these rollbacks will expose America's families to more toxic pollution and climate disasters.

FEMA’s acting director might not know, but hurricane season is here. And the Trump administration is leaving our communities less supported and less protected.

Just a day before it was set to retire for economic reasons, the Trump administration ordered a dirty Pennsylvania power plant to continue operating. This will do nothing to lower costs for us and will only keep energy expensive and make our air dirtier. Trump is Making America Polluted Again.

Thank you Senator Mark Kelly for supporting the Aerial Firefighting Enhancement Act. This would help the U.S. better respond to wildfire season, which is being made longer and more dangerous due to climate change - underscoring the need for bills like these. www.kelly.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

If the U.S. power sector was a country, it would be the 6th-largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world. Despite this, Trump's EPA is set to claim that power plant emissions "do not contribute significantly to dangerous pollution” in order to remove pollution protections to benefit Big Oil.

Thank you to @deluzio.house.gov and @repsummerlee.bsky.social for fighting for green and healthy homes in Western PA! Lee Zeldin's "dangerous and reckless" cuts to our clean air and water will only hurt communities across the country. www.wesa.fm/arts-culture...

Next week it is time to #ShowYourStripes again. We encourage everyone to download their warming stripes graphics and use them to start climate conversations on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st June. www.ShowYourStripes.info Graphic: Change in global average temperature from 1850-2024.

Stripping #cleanenergy tax credits kills jobs—tens of thousands now, millions in the future. Congress must protect these investments to cut costs for American families and keep the U.S. competitive. #SaveCleanEnergy

"As the EPA continues its polluters first agenda that blocks clean-energy investments and pollution protections, more people will get sick, especially those who live in lower-income areas." Read how a registered nurse in Arizona feels about Trump's EPA: www.ahwatukee.com/opinion/opin...

Clean energy investments are keeping energy costs down, creating tens of thousands of jobs, bringing back Made in America manufacturing, and protecting our energy independence. Congress must defend these investments #SaveCleanEnergy @actonclimateus.bsky.social

Thank you @reppaultonko.bsky.social for your continued leadership fighting against rollbacks to clean energy. Our #ClimateCantWait while Republicans put our economy and health at risk.

Big Oil wins, you lose under the Trump administration’s latest attack on our health and economy. Stripping states' rights to set strong tailpipe pollution limits means dirty air and fewer jobs for you, and even more profits for fossil fuel companies. thehill.com/policy/energ...
