Big Tech is driving up the cost of electricity, so we’re fighting back!

We’re launching Power Play NJ to lower energy costs by holding Big Tech accountable and bringing clean energy (and jobs!) to our state.

The Climate Superfund Act has 45+ sponsors, 40+ municipalities passing resolutions, 68% of New Jersey supporting the bill.

It's time to get this done.

This is not radical:

If you break, you pay for it.

Taxpayers should not be on the hook for the price of climate change; instead, #makepolluterspay

Op-Ed: NJ must follow its neighbor, make polluters pay | NJ Spotlight News

New York passed a Climate Superfund Act to hold corporate polluters accountable for billions in climate damage. New Jersey must do the same.

caring for the planet and looking for future forward solutions was never radical. wanting better for the community is not radical. the ones who rather stay in the past and continue their path of destruction are radical and selfish.

A new podcast asks: Are ‘radical’ climate activists really that radical?

"Sabotage" tells the story of the real people behind Just Stop Oil's controversial, soup-throwing stunts.

we need real people to analyze bills that ultimately affect real people’s lives. chatgpt knows zero about the human experience.

Today, House Republicans are unveiling their plan to increase energy bills and pollution for everyday Americans, just to give billionaires another tax break. A summary of their proposals. THREAD! 🧵

They want to spend $10.7 billion expanding a highway that still dumps into the same two-lane tunnel — while NJ Transit crumbles and families living by the Turnpike can’t breathe.

Proud to stand with @katiebrennan.bsky.social fighting to #StopTheTurnpikeExpansion. Jersey deserves better.

The GAO recommends that BOEM and BSEE improve community outreach and transparency—which should have been a priority all along. Anti-offshore wind groups have long been misled by the fossil fuel industry, and we hope they read this report closely.

Climate Revolution Action Network @climaterevolution.bsky.social · Apr 15

First, it was about the whales—now it’s about national security. The new GAO report on offshore wind energy reaffirms everything offshore wind advocates have been saying—and even strengthens the case for offshore wind. Thank you, Representatives Van Drew and Smith, for requesting this report.

my latest op-ed was posted the day NJ joint committee on energy prices was happening. we need leaders that will show up for New Jersey and fight back. blaming others will not result in tangible solutions. do better jeff van drew. pressofatlanticcity.com/opinion/colu...

Van Drew attacks NJBPU, but his own policies keep energy costs high, activist says

A Gen-Z New Jersey climate organization leader accuses U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew of playing politics while families struggle with soaring energy bills.

Honored to stand w @njwfp.bsky.social , @maketheroadnj.bsky.social , @climaterevolution.bsky.social, and @njpolicy.bsky.social in the fight for tax fairness.

“It’s time to stop hurting local businesses who can’t reopen after a flood, right?” Dziobek said.

“Someone needs to pay, and it’s not going to be working-class people.”

It’s time to make polluters pay!

Working class, black and brown families endure the burden of the climate crisis while billionaires and oil companies get rich. It’s time to pass the Climate Superfund Act.

Science isn't up for debate, and we're not letting them get away with it.

Climate Revolution Action Network @climaterevolution.bsky.social · Feb 27

The EPA isn't just trying to rollback climate regulations-they're undermining science to benefit polluters. By dismantling real advisory boards and replacing them with industry-backed voices, they're giving climate deniers a seat at the table.

The Trump admin is gutting our energy security. Colleagues at the National Nuclear Security Administration & Grid Deployment Office are being fired. Chris Wright—an oil exec—now oversees the grid. They’re dismantling safety & infrastructure in real time. This is a disaster. #EnergySecurity
