🚜 In 1920, 925,000 Black farmers owned 14% of U.S. farmland. Fewer than 50,000 remain. Today, Black & Brown #farmers face ongoing barriers to loans, technical support, and #USDA programs—generational wealth denied. #EJFriday

🗺️ Nearly 100 yrs ago, the govt drew red lines around Black neighborhoods & called them “hazardous.”
🏭 Those lines didn’t just block home loans, they paved the way for highways, refineries & toxic plants.
🌳 From Tulsa to Cancer Alley: fewer trees, dirtier air, hotter streets, shorter lives.

Nature, Biodiversity, and Adolescent Wellbeing — Change The Chamber (March 4, 2026) Kids are growing up more disconnected from nature than ever, even though time with trees, dirt, and wildlife makes them calmer, happier, and sharper. When nature becomes somewhere you ...

As Trump Obliterates Climate Efforts, States Try to Fill the Gap

🌎⚡From #EV credits in Colorado to #solar expansion in Virginia and holding #fossilfuel companies accountable in California, the real #climate fight is moving to the states. The question now: will it be enough? #DefendOurClimate

Trump’s EPA Rolled Back the ‘Endangerment Finding.’ We’re Taking Them to Court. The EPA revoked the finding that greenhouses gases threaten public health and welfare, then weakened vehicle emissions standards.

We'll see them in court: The Trump admin repealed the endangerment finding, which compels the government to limit climate pollution for public health. The administration also repealed carbon pollution standards for vehicles, even as total vehicle pollution costs billions in health care annually.

A Dangerous Retreat from Science: CTC Condemns EPA’s Endangerment Finding Repeal — Change The Chamber (February 12, 2026) T he EPA just erased a cornerstone climate safeguard, brushing aside established science and weakening limits on pollution. The result? More risk, more disasters, and a heavier ...

🔥 Donald Trump & EPA administrator Lee Zeldin have officially made #climate denial U.S. policy. Their decision to repeal the #EndangermentFinding is a slap in the face of Americans who are being battered by extreme weather, wildfires, droughts & other climate disasters.

Internal DOE Documents Confirm Climate Report Was Created to Justify Administration Policy Facts are supposed to shape policy—not the other way around. That key principle is being undermined as the Trump administration seeks to reverse an important pillar of U.S. climate policy. In its p...

⚖️ When politicians rig the facts to fit their agenda, it is your air, your health, and your wallet that pay the price. A federal judge just ruled a DOE #climate report was produced through an illegal, predetermined process. Science should protect people, not politics.

Here’s why US household energy bills are soaring – and how to fix it | Mark Wolfe Trump has prioritized fossil fuel companies over consumers, hitting the lowest-income families hardest

💸 Millions of families can’t afford to keep their homes warm this winter. Meanwhile, energy policies keep propping up expensive #fossilfuels. Real solutions—#renewables, efficiency, protections—already exist. What’s missing? Political will.

Exclusive: Majority of Trump voters back solar power, poll finds Trump officials are moving against renewables on several fronts.

🗳️ Voters are way more practical than politicians.
☀️ Majority of GOP-aligned voters support utility-scale #solar, AND support jumps when it’s about cheaper electricity, reliable power, and American jobs.
💸 68% say solar helps lower costs. Turns out people like paying less. Shocking... 🙄

Air, Climate, and Our Health — Change The Chamber (January 28, 2026) The air is changing, and our lungs are paying the price. Even non-smokers are developing lung cancer! As heat, wildfire smoke, and longer allergy seasons worsen pollution, clean air...

🌍 Real harm. Real people. Real consequences.

How Wall Street Turned Its Back on Climate Change

🌍💸 Wall Street hyped #climate funds as the future — but behind the scenes, many knew it was just a $$$ game. Now, with political backlash and broken promises, the real question is: who’s actually committed to saving the planet? #ESG

#MLK fought for justice everywhere & that includes the environment. The same communities facing discrimination in housing, healthcare & jobs are hit hardest by pollution, unsafe water & #climate impacts.Clean air is a civil right. Safe water is a civil right. A healthy #environment is a civil right.

Change the Chamber to the EPA: “Our lives are worth more than corporate profits!” — Change The Chamber (January 14, 2026) The EPA’s latest move puts corporate profits ahead of public health, ignoring the real dangers of air pollution. Children, seniors, and frontline communities are left to bear the br...

💀 The EPA just assigned a value of $𝟎 to human lives.
❌ That’s not “common sense.”
😷 It’s a deliberate choice to prioritize corporate profits over people breathing toxic air.

Trump withdraws US from key climate treaty and dozens of other groups The White House says the decision was taken because those entities "no longer serve American interests".

🌍 The Trump Administration just withdrew from 𝟔𝟔 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐬, including the UN #ClimateTreaty and the IPCC. Climate science, #cleanenergy, and global cooperation all defunded as “globalist.”
