Project 2025 outlines what’s in store for us if Donald Trump gets a second term. Although he disavows the plan, it was put together by his former staff and most loyal supporters. It’s what they want and largely reflects what Trump has said he wants. With no other detailed plan for Trump 2.0 in place,…
The superstorms in the Southeast are another reminder of the growing cost of delayed action on climate change. Damage from severe weather events costs the United States billions of dollars each year. However, the Climate Policy Initiative estimates that continuing as we are would lead to warming beyond 3°C, costing the global economy an additional…
We’ve talked about how we can win the Presidency in swing states, and we know we’ll need to focus on key congressional districts if we want to flip the house. That brings us to the third, most-critical piece of the puzzle: holding the Senate. If Kamala Harris wins the Presidency and Democrats flip the House and…
No, not real estate flipping—we’re talking about winning a progressive majority in the United States House of Representatives! There are only 6 weeks until Election Day, and electing Kamala Harris is the key to a climate-forward future. (Remember, one candidate believes clean air and water are ‘fundamental freedoms’, while the other guy leads cheers of…
The winds of change are blowing strong–and they’re carrying the promise of a cleaner, greener future. Under the Biden-Harris administration, the U.S. is making waves in offshore wind energy like never before. When they took office, there wasn’t a single commercial-scale offshore wind project approved in federal waters. Fast forward to now, and they’ve just…
Last Monday’s How We Win with Smart Donations event featuring David Callahan of Blue Tent was so popular, the audience so engaged, and the information shared so important that we’re shifting gears to bring you the key takeaways from his presentation. One key thing we learned was that although the Electoral College favors Republicans, Democrats have more financial firepower. In 2020, counties that backed…
Two years ago, years of hard campaigning by climate activists — including over 230,000 messages sent by CANdoers — paid off with the most groundbreaking climate legislation in world history — the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) — with Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote. As we blow out the candles on this milestone, it’s time to celebrate the game-changing impact the IRA has had on…
This week’s Democratic National Convention will provide a study in contrasts between our nation’s political parties on the greatest issue confronting humanity. The contrast could not be starker. The Republican Party’s position on climate change? It’s not an issue. The word “climate” appears exactly nowhere in the GOP’s party platform. Subsequent to the GOP convention, in what he dubbed “The…
From severe floods to relentless heat waves to raging wildfires, climate change isn’t just changing our environment—it’s transforming our democracy. Last week, voters in Southwest Michigan sheltered in polling stations while a tornado roared outside. In May, thunderstorms in Northern Texas forced 76 polling places to close during primary runoffs. But the impact of weather events stretches far beyond…
We’ve said it before: the climate movement’s top priority is to elect a climate champion to the Oval Office. Nothing else comes close. The stakes could not be greater. On Day 1, a President Trump would likely once again withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement and then, as he has promised, “Drill, baby drill!” If we are to…
