Should humans play a role in deliberately altering Earth's climate? As interest in solar geoengineering — the idea of spraying millions of tons of sulfur high into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight and cool the planet — grows worldwide, this question is becoming increasingly urgent.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul just enacted a moratorium on new large-scale data centers, signing a one-year pause due to water concerns and higher costs for ratepayers!

The World Cup might be ending this week, but the fight to save our planet is going strong. Critical matches are happening every day — from Trump attacking the ESA to pollinators fighting toxic pesticides to small farmers facing Big Ag.

THE ATTACKS ARE REAL: 🚨 Voting rights gutted 🚨 ICE violence in our streets 🚨 Voter registration groups raided THE RESPONSE IS REAL: #GoodTrouble. This weekend. social.demcast.com/s/MpDNi16J

Governor Gavin Newsom and the California Legislature just approved a state budget that invests in school kitchen infrastructure, purchasing of local foods & plant-based foods and beverages, and funding CA School Meals for All — a program that ensures free breakfast & lunch for every student.

The “Save Our Bacon Act” is doing anything but saving our bacon. This act is a provision in the House’s version of the Farm Bill that could undo state and local farm animal welfare laws across America.

If we want regenerative & organic agriculture to move to the mainstream, policy matters We need more investment in organic transition, support for conservation & funding for systems that build ecological resilience instead of chemical dependence. The upcoming Farm Bill is an opportunity to do that

The Coral Triangle is the global center of marine biodiversity, sustaining millions of lives. While occupying just 1.5% of the world's area, it supports: 🪸 30% of global coral reefs & 75% of reef-building coral species 🐢 6 out of 7 global marine turtle species 🐠 Over 2,000 species of reef fish

Today we joined 50+ orgs in sending a letter to RWE, calling on the company to hold fast to offshore wind leases and resist the Trump admin's fossil-fueled bullying "Ignoring that offshore wind is cheaper and more reliable than LNG poses a very real financial risk for your company and shareholders"

Today, we join groups across the world standing in solidarity with the Union of People Affected by Chevron-Texaco/ Friends of the Earth Ecuador ✊ We delivered a letter to the Ecuadorian Embassy in DC to stand together with our international community. @foeint.bsky.social

Instead, we’ve seen Trump repeatedly give pesticide companies the key to our government at every level.

The Trump Administration has publicly embraced the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, with Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr pledging to address concerns about toxins and pesticides in our food. Yet two years in, we still haven’t seen this happen.

There are roughly 50 Rice’s whales still in existence. And the Trump administration’s latest move could wipe them out completely.

In a massive win, the House stripped the Farm Bill of a pesticide liability shield. This would have given pesticide manufacturers legal immunity from lawsuits claiming their products harmed people. The House also stripped a provision that would have prevented local govts from regulating pesticides

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is only putting cancer warnings on 1.4% of the pesticide products that have an ingredient designated as “probable” or “likely” to cause cancer. That's a grand total of 69 out of the 4,919 pesticide product labels.

Your vote is your voice. Demand that your governor rejects maps that strip power from Black and Brown communities. Join local organizers at town halls and take a stand. Let’s return power to the people and build a fair system for all.

Confused by food labels? You’re not alone Our new analysis shows that “regenerative” labels are all over the map—some allow toxic pesticides while others have strict standards for chemical use. Consumers may not always be getting what they think. foe.org/label-guide

Today, the Supreme Court ruled to undermine the Voting Rights Act. This will help Republicans’ aim to retain lasting majorities in the House of Representatives.

Today we joined 120+ groups in sending a letter to Congressional leadership to reject efforts to fast-track AI or data centers. “Using permitting reform to fast track the data center boom is a slap in the face to local communities who will be the ones to pay the price."

There is a frenzy to build massive AI data centers across the country. This is putting a humongous strain on our climate and communities Thank you, @sanders.senate.gov @ocasio-cortez.house.gov for introducing a bill to protect us and the climate from the explosive growth of data centers.

Yesterday, the Stop Financing Factory Farming coalition held a global day of action, mobilizing 40+ actions across 26 countries - a powerful show of people around the world standing up for a just, sustainable food system. You can learn more at: stopfinancingfactoryfarming.com/news/world-b...

The World Bank Group has a mandate to support sustainable development and global food security. Yet it continues to finance industrial livestock production, undermining its own goals.

Today we visited the US Treasury to see if normal taxpayers qualify for any of the fossil fuel industry's $37 billion in tax breaks this year! #UTEPH #TaxDay #TrumpoTax trumpotax.com

Trump's admin just handed a $370M windfall to one of the world’s largest exporters of natural gas by allowing the company to claim an “alternative fuels” tax incentive for operating heavily polluting ships. Thank you @merkley.senate.gov for leading the charge to investigate this

EPA has approved a permit for Carboniferous – a for-profit company that wants to dump agricultural waste into the Gulf of Mexico’s orca basin and call it a climate solution. It’s not. It’s a risky, speculative project that could harm the deep-sea ecosystem.

Friends of the Earth Action proudly endorses environmental justice champion Chris Espinosa for #CA26! "Chris will hold fossil fuel companies and their enablers accountable in California and beyond, and we are proud to endorse him.” foeaction.org/news/nationa...

Thank you @govandybeshear.bsky.social for vetoing SB 199 — a bill that tried to shield pesticide manufacturers from being held accountable for the harm their toxic products cause. If the pesticide industry is too dangerous to operate without being legally shielded, it shouldn’t be operating at all.

BREAKING: The Trump administration just unlawfully exempted the entire Gulf of Mexico and all its wildlife from the Endangered Species Act — all in the name of a baseless “national security” need.

Trump’s Interior Department just announced a meeting of the Endangered Species Extinction Committee (aka the God Squad) later this month. The meeting will cover an exemption under the Endangered Species Act for oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. foe.org/news/trump-a...
