Asheville was once called a "climate haven" too. In a climate crisis, there's no such thing as a climate haven. We need bold climate action NOW, not later. #LaterIsTooLate #ThisIsClimateChange
Show this to the next person who tells you that Wisconsin is a “climate haven.” We’ve seen increased precipitation rates for decades, and this flooding is just a sign of what’s to come. Now’s the time to prepare for the wetter, warmer, & more unpredictable weather.

This massive fossil gas project just announced they’re moving forwards, despite fierce community resistance and escalating climate harms. But climate justice leader Roishetta Ozane won’t stop fighting for her community’s health and safety.
🚨 Venture Global announced it secured >$15M to proceed with construction of the CP2 liquefied natural gas project. "CP2 is a threat to the health + safety of my community + an assault on everything I hold dear," says Louisiana community leader @Mzozane.
