56] – Beyond Extreme Energy is hosting a Comment Filing Party to demand FERC Establish Robust Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis on Thurs., April 21 at 5 PM ET. RSVP at https://bit.ly/3McmrgV. Register at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIkcOyprTMrHdKWUA4qkmVtGd3z5Pj-ybJc. In February of 2022 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) announced two new policies guiding regulation of interstate natural gas pipelines. FERC’s natural gas certification policies had not been updated since 1999, leaving them with a mandate that predated the rise of commercial fracking. The new policies highlighted needs assessment, issues of environmental justice, and for the first time laid out a greenhouse gas emissions threshold for natural gas projects. Pipelines that produced more than the threshold metric of annual emissions would trigger further environmental review. While imperfect, the new FERC policies represented a critical move towards a climate informed FERC mandate.
However, there was immediate push back from guardians of the fossil fuel status quo. On March 3rd the five FERC commissioners were summoned to Capitol Hill by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee (ENR). West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin chairs the ENR, and used the hearing as an opportunity to harass FERC’s Democratic majority for creating regulations that would curtail the growth of fossil fuels. Senator Mike Lee went so far as to suggest disbanding FERC, and implicitly the ENR meeting was a threat to Richard Glick’s position as FERC Chair. As a result of pressure from Manchin and his minions, FERC declared the two new policies ‘drafts’, and have opened the policies to public comment until April 25th.

61] – CCAN [info@chesapeakeclimate.org] is holding a Power Hour on Thurs., April 21 from 6:30 to 8 PM ET. Make climate friends and influence people. To join in, go to https://act.chesapeakeclimate.org/page/40305/data/1?utm_medium=email&utm_source=engagingnetworks&utm_campaign=utm_Membership&utm_content=MEM-April+Power+Hour-Hotlist-0422-C3+C&ea.url.id=1240517. State legislative sessions in Maryland and Virginia are over. We achieved some key victories in our fight against climate change but we also faced fierce opposition. That's why we are reaching out to YOU and asking you to join our movement of climate activists across MD, DC, VA, West Virginia and beyond. In Maryland, utilities targeted legislators to strip critical building electrification requirements from the Climate Solutions Now Act. In Virginia, the fossil fuel industry moved legislators to pass a bill to weaken oversight and enforcement powers of boards that review permits for building pipelines. In Congress, climate provisions in budget reconciliation have been blocked by Senator Joe Manchin and dirty energy companies that want to maximize their profits over the health of our people and planet. All of this means one thing: we must continue to build organized power! We do that by organizing people to take action and organizing money to fund and bolster our movement.

63] – Health Care Voices [info@healthcarevoices.org] are asking you to join Global Vaccine Equity Town Hall with Rep. Pressley and Global Health Leaders on Thurs., April 21 at 7 PM ET. We are over two years into this prolonged pandemic, and Big Pharma is continuing to profit off of mass death, rather than sharing life-saving science that could end the pandemic for us all. Representative Ayanna Pressley will call on Moderna to end their vaccine hoarding and share the technology with the rest of the world. Right now, 70% of people in rich countries are vaccinated, while in some countries across the Global South, the majority of people are still waiting to get their first shot. Meanwhile, there are over 100 companies ready to make the vaccine, but they are facing technological barriers –barriers created by Moderna, Big Pharma execs, and more– stopping them from being able to make the vaccine and add to the global supply.

64] – Peace Action [info@peaceaction.org] hopes you can join in on Thurs., April 21 at 7:30 PM ET for Yemen Can't Wait. Join us this Thursday 4/21 to learn the latest on Yemen. Find out what you can do to end the terrible war and humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen. Yemen’s civil war is now in its eighth year, with the terrible humanitarian catastrophe continuing – hundreds of thousands of people killed, wounded, sick from preventable diseases, or displaced – despite the current, fragile ceasefire during Ramadan. The Biden Administration’s declaration last year that it would not sell offensive weapons to the Saudi-UAE-led coalition was insufficient to end the war, so we must do more to end all US military support fueling the conflict. Register for the webinar at https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/1816497824246/WN_IXm0JtdUSBC6_gTNelqArw?emci=49cad06e-11c0-ec11-997e-281878b83d8a&emdi=e5bdbe6e-1bc0-ec11-997e-281878b83d8a&ceid=218683.
