fellow District 6 constituents to meet with Councilman Mike Ertel and advocate

Also invited are employees advocating for sustainable retirement options at their workplace, and anyone seeking to align their workplace benefits with climate and social responsibility.

From life-saving devices in hospitals to toys, beauty products, and even the device you’re reading this email on, plastics are everywhere — even coursing through your veins. The long-term environmental and health consequences of these toxins are dire. And, recycling, despite what the petrochemical industry wants us to believe, doesn’t solve the problem — it actually makes things worse by spreading the chemicals even further.

Callais — yet another important case that could have far-reaching consequences for the right to fair and equal representation.

49] –What’s the Plan? A virtual Weekly Discussion with Indivisible’s co-founders takes place on Thursdays, including Jan. 22, from 3 to 4 PM ET. The onslaught of news, the chaos coming out of the White House – it’s all meant to overwhelm us. It’s a deliberate strategy to sow confusion and make us believe we are powerless to fight back. The antidote: Coming together in community to process what’s happening, to sift through what’s important and what’s just noise, and coalesce around strategies for fighting back. Join Indivisible co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin each week to discuss what’s happening and – more importantly – what the plan is. The event will continue through Dec. 17, 2026. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/874938/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=_20251215

Sun Day showed us the incredible power of coming together to celebrate clean energy. Now, it's time to channel that energy into action that gets more solar and wind projects built in communities across the country. Greenlight America is calling clean energy supporters in key locations and encouraging them to take action to get projects permitted where they live. On these phone banks, volunteers will encourage supporters to testify at hearings, submit public comments or contact decision makers to build wind and solar projects.
