This year has been brutal for the #climate movement.
Rollbacks, repression, & outright denial, especially in the US, have made progress feel fragile & uneven.
Which is exactly why it matters to pause & look back at what did move forward in 2025.

The problems feel big. The days are short; the nights are long. It’s easy to despair.
But despair is a gift to the powerful. It keeps you quiet, keeps you small.
In 2026, let’s turn despair into DETERMINATION. If we all do a little, we can achieve a lot.
It always seems impossible until it’s done.
