92% of public comments to the federal government supported the rule to let people lease public land to restore it. Trump still repealed it. Then BLM approved 6027 new drilling permits. Center for American Progress now counts 86+ mil acres ripped of protection. Happy World Nature Conservation Day.

Heartfelt gratitude to Britt Gondolfi for speaking at the Council's New Orleans meeting. Britt is a lawyer, an organizer, and a children's book author from Southeast Louisiana. At Bioneers she coordinates the Rights of Nature in Indian Country Initiative.

The beautiful Boundary Waters is closed: 17 fires, 55K acres + National Guard mobilized. All south of the border. These are Climate Wildfires. But Trump blames the smoke on Canada and wants to bill them. One fire is burning on both sides of the border. You can't tariff, deport or wall it off.

🦈 On Shark Awareness Day, it's important to remember: Sharks kill fewer than 10 people a year. We kill an estimated 100 million of them. 🧵

Council Chair Michelle Deatrick spoke at the Wisconsin Democratic Convention this month — with the state party's Environmental Caucus and the "Politics of Place: How Climate Candidates" workshop. In one of the country's tightest battlegrounds, almost every conversation came back to land and water.

We applaud Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell for moving to stop a data center next to the zoo's clouded leopards. 200,000+ sq ft. A 50 MW substation. Feet from endangered animals. This is leadership.

On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved people in Texas learned they were free — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. There is no climate justice without racial justice. On Juneteenth and always, we continue the fight for equity and justice.

Today 6/17 is the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought. We just came through our worst spring drought on record — over 60% of the lower 48 in drought, hitting crops, farmers, and ranchers hard.

🌊 This #WorldOceanDay: the Trump administration is stripping commercial-fishing bans from America's marine national monuments — our most protected ocean. It began in the Atlantic's Northeast Canyons & Seamounts; all four Pacific monuments could be next.

Happy Pride Month to our LGBTQ+ friends and community! 🌈 The climate crisis hits LGBTQ+ communities harder — and those communities often have fewer resources and less of a safety net to weather it. Environmental justice and LGBTQ+ justice are the same fight.

On World Bee Day: 1.6 million honeybee colonies died in the U.S. in the 2024-5 year. The USDA's premier bee lab identified the cause — pesticide-resistant mites. Then the Trump administration moved to close it. Without bees 1/3 of our food supply is at risk. 🐝 Read: www.npr.org/2026/05/06/n...
