Brazil is drilling in the Amazon while claiming to be a climate champion! I have just asked Brazil to choose to lead the world away from fossil fuels at #COP30. Add to the pressure👇

Tell Brazil: Lead the World Beyond Fossil Fuels at COP30
Brazil is promising to protect the Amazon while allowing new oil drilling there. Brazil's leaders must choose: help the world move away from oil, or get left behind.

📢 America Supports Progress — Not Republicans Who Hold Us Hostage and Complicit Democrats
When Democrats side with Trump and MAGA Republicans, they betray the people they were elected to serve. We expose the latest Senate sellout and call on all of us to organize, resist, and reclaim.

Quick story: I’m a middle aged man who last year finally couldn’t ignore the lump of tissue I could feel in my right breast. I decided to get a mammogram done.
Thankfully, it was a benign cyst that I can safely ignore.
But men, if you are in a similar situation, don’t hesitate—get checked out.
