Our elected officials have failed to halt fossil fuel projects, exacerbating the climate emergency. We must demand real climate leadership to protect communities and wildlife.

Join community leaders at the White House from October 11-15 for the "People vs. Fossil Fuels" protests. We will demand President Biden reject new fossil fuel projects, declare a climate emergency, and launch a just, renewable energy revolution. Consider participating in nonviolent civil disobedience.

Dr. M. Jahi Chappell, Assistant Professor of Environmental Science and Justice at Washington State University, Vancouver, delivered a lecture titled "Ecological Sustainability, Food, and Human Rights: The Necessity of 'Action Ecology'" at Portland State University's Social Sustainability Colloquium on January 27, 2012. He argued that scientists should embrace roles as both citizens and credible advocates, emphasizing that this, combined with community participation and outreach—particularly within university settings—is crucial for challenging the status quo and driving effective change.

The lecture was videotaped by Ruth Ann Barrett, Sustainability Advocate and founder of EarthSayers.tv, voices of sustainability.

Recent remote camera footage shows the Togo wolf pack's breeding male with his two young pups. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) plans to shoot him, which would leave his pups vulnerable and his mate without a hunting partner.

Last week, the Center for Biological Diversity secured a temporary court order halting the culling. We are back in court this week, seeking to make that protection permanent.

Please donate to our Wolf Defense Fund to help keep the Togo pack safe: https://bit.ly/2PaJxHl. Media can request footage by emailing CenterVideos@BiologicalDiversity.org.

David Wessel's book, "Only the Rich Can Play," exposes the 2017 Opportunity Zone tax break. Intended to aid underserved communities, this initiative, passed with little scrutiny, primarily benefited wealthy areas like the Las Vegas Strip, allowing investors to avoid capital gains taxes.

Wessel's analysis details the program's failures and limited successes, offering lessons for better design. Join David Wessel (@davidmwessel) and Lenny Mendonca for an in-depth discussion on this system, which Wessel argues keeps the rich richer. This event was presented by The Commonwealth Club of California.
