🌪️ Climate Crisis Will Intensify Strong Winter Storms, Climate Scientist Warns
A climate scientist warns that the climate crisis is likely to intensify powerful winter storms, even as overall warming changes patterns and extremes. The cuts to disaster response and climate research can make communities less prepared for what’s coming. Truthout
Why This Matters: More extreme storms mean higher risks for families, infrastructure, and emergency systems—especially where public capacity is being weakened. Preparedness, investment, and climate action are lifesaving policy choices.
🌍 The Planet-Sized Hole in Trump’s State of the Union Address
Trump’s State of the Union ignored the climate emergency while his administration accelerates fossil-fuel-friendly policy and deregulation. The climate crisis doesn’t pause when leaders refuse to name it. The Nation
Why This Matters: Silence from the top is a strategy—if the crisis isn’t acknowledged, accountability gets delayed. Communities need the truth to mobilize for protections that safeguard health, jobs, and a livable future.
🧣 Winters are getting shorter across most U.S. cities
A Climate Central analysis finds winters are shortening in most U.S. cities compared with the 1970–1997 baseline, with “winter” temperatures starting later and/or ending earlier in many places. The report notes big shifts in high-latitude locations like Alaska, even as some areas buck the trend. Axios
Why This Matters: Shorter winters reshape water supplies, ecosystems, agriculture, and public safety—while masking deeper instability behind occasional extreme cold snaps. This is climate change showing up in daily life, not a distant forecast.
🚜 350.org urges countries to support Vanuatu’s proposed UN resolution
Vanuatu has advanced a draft UN resolution aimed at endorsing the International Court of Justice advisory opinion on climate obligations and pushing governments toward concrete action. It highlights pressure from major polluters to slow momentum and calls for countries to back accountability measures.
Common Dreams
Why This Matters: Global climate accountability only works if nations refuse to let big polluters veto progress. Support for legal and diplomatic pathways can help move climate justice from words to enforceable action.

America Has No Kings. And We Are Rising Again. This is a defining moment for our democracy, as extremist forces try to seize power, gut clean energy and health care, strip reproductive freedom, tear families apart, and funnel public wealth to billionaires while demanding silence, fear, and obedience.
But America was never meant to be ruled by strongmen or oligarchs—power belongs to the people, and millions are rising through the growing No Kings movement to reject cruelty, defend dignity, and uphold the rule of law. On Saturday, March 28, 2026, thousands of peaceful actions will take place nationwide, building on the millions who mobilized in 2025 to declare that America does not do dictators.
Rooted in nonviolent action, lawful protest, free speech, voting, and collective courage, this movement calls each of us to sign up, show up, or organize—because fascism thrives on silence, but democracy survives through participation. No thrones. No crowns. Only people—and we are rising.
📢 The Complete Guide to the No Kings Day of Action - March 28, 2026 just launched
For nearly 250 years, democracy has been the foundation that allows people and planet to thrive together. It was not granted by kings or secured by billionaires. It was built by everyday people who understood that caring for one another and protecting our future go hand in hand.
Power has always belonged to the people because only people can protect what we love. A healthy democracy is what makes clean air laws possible, safeguards our water, defends public lands, and ensures that no community is sacrificed for corporate profit. When democracy is weakened, pollution rises, accountability disappears, and the most vulnerable pay the price. Protecting democracy is not optional—it is essential to protecting our planet and each other. When we stand up for people power, we stand up for a livable future for generations yet to come.
