@janefonda.com, in her 2025 USC Annenberg Commencement speech, calls forests our allies, and reminds us of the climate-driven phenomena like wildfire's growing impacts are symptoms of deeper ecological breakdown.

Thank you for naming this! Too often, "forest health" gets misused to justify logging. Fire belongs in forests, and protecting them means stopping the false solutions that treat trees as fuel. We appreciate your voice 🌱🔥

🌿 On #RachelCarsonDay, we're honoring a trailblazer who redefined what environmental responsibility really means - a moral commitment to life on Earth. She reminded us that protecting the environment is a public responsibility, and that science should guide policy.

10,000 acres. No review. No input. No oversight. The 'Fix Our Forests' Act would let massive logging projects move forward--unchecked. Tell your Senators: VOTE NO on FOFA, at our action alert in the thread.

They’re selling S. 1462 as a fire fix, a choose-your-own-adventure where every path ends in stumps. S. 1462 is no fix; it’s a false fire solution packed with logging giveaways. Tell your Senators: Oppose S. 1462, the “Fix Our Forests” Act: johnmuirproject.org/take-action/...

Thanks for joining our #EarthWeek celebration! We're committed to real, science-backed solutions that empower and protect both our communities and forests--free from extraction, corporate puppets, and false climate solutions. 🌍🌎🌏💚

This #EarthWeek, and every week, let’s stop interfering and start respecting the wild systems that know exactly what they’re doing. Our power to protect the planet isn’t in control—it’s in respect.

Forests don’t need our ‘rescue’ plans—they need us to back off. They’re not asking, they’re not broken, and they definitely don’t need a savior. Fire-adapted forests have been thriving, regenerating, and renewing on their own for millennia.

Logging for climate? That's the oxymoron. Beetles, fire, and decay all move carbon in cycles. Logging turns it into pollution. It’s time we stop micromanaging forests and start managing ourselves. 📖 www.yahoo.com/news/bark-be...

This year’s #EarthDay theme is “Our Power, Our Planet” — but is it really ours? Forests don’t need us to manage their recovery. Fire is part of nature’s rhythm, not a failure to fix. This Earth Week, let’s rethink our power — and choose humility. #EarthWeek #LetForestsBe #StopTheChop

They call it “saving” the sequoias. But from what—fire, or us? The real threat isn’t fire. It’s bad policy dressed up as protection. They were doing just fine until we showed up with bulldozers and a bill. 📣Tell your Reps: Vote NO on the “Save Our Sequoias” Act: johnmuirproject.org/take-action/...
