Citibank is one of the largest funders of oil and gas expansion in the Amazon, worsening the climate crisis and displacing local communities. Instead, Citibank should fund just, community-owned renewable energy projects. Tell Citibank: Stop destroying the Amazon! act.350.org/sign/jul-25-...

First Trump cut FEMA's funding — then Texas flood survivors couldn't get through to a climate disaster assistance hotline when they needed it. We need to #FullyFundFEMA

Federal records contradict what FEMA leader told Congress about Texas flood response

Funding for FEMA's disaster survivor hotline lapsed the day after the Texas floods, federal records show. It took DHS Secretary Kristi Noem five days to approve more money.
