It’s been a little over a week since the passage of the Big, Ugly Bill—a sweeping victory for billionaires and the fossil fuel industry that brings new meaning to the words “cruel” and “senseless.”

As we continue to grapple with the bill’s passage and its devastating implications for our planet, two things are clearer than ever:

Our fight continues, and we stand firm and united.

Just about every environmental organization you can think of was united in the fight against the budget bill, working in parallel to put as much pressure on the House and Senate as possible. And while this was ultimately a loss for the climate community, these same groups—and so many others—have already recommitted to the fight ahead.

Earthjustice and the Natural Resources Defense Council have vowed to continue their fight through legal pathways. Our friends at Elders Climate Action, Third Act, and Climate Action Campaign are mobilizing their communities to action. And media groups like Heatmap, Volts, and Open Circuit continue the vital work of helping readers and viewers understand what’s at stake for the U.S. and the world.

As far as the U.S. is concerned, the front lines now move to cities and states.

11 governors have already formed the Affordable Clean Cars Coalition, aiming to accelerate the shift to electric vehicles in the U.S. despite federal hostility. Other states are setting more ambitious clean energy goals and bolstering state-level incentives. And the Climate Mayors group has reaffirmed its commitment to climate action, couching the importance of mitigation efforts in the broader fight against rising costs of living. They’re hard at work putting out critical resources, like their new guide to help cities decarbonize buildings and save money.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg—there are so many more efforts in progress than what we can list here.

We stand firm and united. Innumberable individuals, groups, and elected officials are still fighting. And when the success of the Trump administration hinges on us giving up, continuing to get up and take action is an act of resistance in and of itself.

That being said, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Part of the fight for a better tomorrow is remembering to step back, unplug, and take care of yourself when you need to. So go for that walk. Spend time with your loved ones. And continue to engage with the activities, people, and places you’re fighting to protect.

We’re all in this together! And action is the antidote to despair!
