45] – Jane Fonda [info@greenpeaceusa.org] hopes you will participate in Fire Drill Friday on June 2 at 2 PM ET. Mansion's Dirty Deal — the plan that would fast track oil and gas projects across America and silence the input of communities — is back and being heard in the Senate this weekend. Jane will be speaking to Anthony Rogers-Wright about what's at stake and what we can do. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/firedrillfridays/event/563918/?utm_source=fdfemail&sourceid=&emci=2a8c68cf-b500-ee11-907c-00224832eb73&emdi=399665d5-b500-ee11-907c-00224832eb73&ceid=1705696. Check out firedrillfridays.com/events. Last fall was an exciting and historic moment for us — as Firefighters, as Greenpeacers, as a nation of advocates — when we came together not once, not twice, but three times to block Senator Manchin’s Dirty Deal. This time, we must defeat it once and for all. And not just that. We need to get real about who benefits from the Dirty Deal’s inclusion in debt ceiling negotiations (spoiler: it’s Big Oil) and what true solutions to fast tracking clean energy look like when they are rooted in science and justice. Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright serves as New York Lawyers for Public Interest's Director of Environmental Justice. In this capacity, he guides and coordinates the organization’s environmental justice strategy, litigation, organizing, and advocacy initiatives.
