- Public housing is one of the only deeply affordable housing options left. The time is past due for @RepAOC and @SenSanders' GND for Public Housing. Our research shows its transformative potential. More from @dharnanoor: theguardian.com/us-news/2024/m….
- BREAKING: New research from our team shows that the costs of rebuilding what has been destroyed in Gaza will generate 60 million tons of CO2-- more than the carbon costs generated by 135 countries. More than 99% of this is due to Israel's bombardment.
- There must be a ceasefire in Gaza now. The US-funded illegal occupation of Palestine is not only a humanitarian crisis, it further exacerbates the climate crisis. Apartheid is incompatible with climate justice- and inevitable without it
- New from us and @Cmmonwealth: the US and UK militaries are among the most prolific polluters in world history. We show that the monetary costs of environmental damages caused by these militaries & associated industries is at least $111 billion since 2015🧵
- We have BIG NEWS! We've officially changed our name to Climate and Community Institute! Our name change reflects the fact that we're here to stay. We’re also launching our new website to better showcase and mobilize our cutting-edge research and advocacy. climateandcommunity.org
- The US is poised to send Israel another $9 billion - no strings attached- as its atrocities in Gaza continue to mount. Join us on May 7 to hear about how US militarism and the genocide in Palestine intersect with the climate crisis - link to register below
- The US climate movement must demand an immediate, permanent ceasefire in Palestine to hold the line against genocide now and the abandonment of vulnerable communities in the future as the climate crisis intensifies. Our new briefing explains why 🧵
- ☀️WE ARE HIRING! Come work with us to take on the climate crisis at scale! Climate and Community Project is hiring for 3 staff positions: 🏘️ housing policy manager 🚎 transportation policy manager 🦔 part time operations manager
- There’s no question that the US urgently needs to decarbonize its transportation system. Our latest research offers a justice-forward approach to navigating the intersection of the harms of lithium mining and necessary climate action.
- Wow— New York made history tonight and will #BuildPublicRenewables. The new era of public power has arrived. ☀️✊️🙏
- From rampant wild fires to skyrocketing rents, the polycrisis is here. Tuesday’s debate showed there's no plan to tackle the most urgent crises of our moment. So we came up with one. SEIZE THE FUTURE: A bold, progressive climate agenda for 2024 and beyond climateandcommunity.org/research/seize…
- “Why doesn't the public actually own the economy? If we're subsidizing it, we should just own the wind rather than subsidizing a company to build the windfarm.” @triofrancos on state-subsidized green capitalism, extraction then and now, the movements changing it, and more👇🏽"There's a deep tension in the term green capitalism." @triofrancos on the deep inequalities and extractive foundations of green technologies like EVs and solar panels.

- The Inflation Reduction Act set the stage for billions of $ to flow toward upgrading & decarbonizing homes. But will it help tenants – who are too often forced to live in bad conditions – or could it harm them? We break it all down in our new report ⬇️
