Heya folks I know it is July -- a sleepy time for Sacramento with 100ΒΊ+ temps and the legislature on recess, but for the @NextGen_Policy#Climate100 team, IT IS TOO HOT TO SLEEP ππ₯π°π΄ππΊ
Instead of lounging at the beach in a photo accompanying a story about deadly extreme heat, we have been busy working to mobilize every part of CA's budget towards climate action.
That means joining our friends at @UndauntedK12 in calling on the Legislature to make sure the $4b we are spending on schools is working to help meet our climate goals and protect students, teachers, and school workers in extreme weather and smoke. climate100.nextgenpolicy.org/letter-align-cβ¦
It means joining our friends at @CleanairCA in calling on @CaltransHQ to re-evaluate freeway expansion projects that, like the rejected I-710 widening, have been in the pipeline for many years and may hold our state back on climate and racial justice. climate100.nextgenpolicy.org/request-to-calβ¦
We may still be in a permanent hellish pandemic keeping us physically isolated, but Summer is indeed a time for getting together with friends to advance state climate action.
But it is also a time to treat yourself. Specifically to some nice peaches, watermelon, and a REFRESHED and easier to navigate climate 100 resources page! climate100.nextgenpolicy.org/resources/
So, stay tuned for more from Climate 100 in the coming days and weeks. Like a president with COVID, we aren't resting.
(Looking forward to the break from the heat on Saturday tho)

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
I think it is nice that some of you want to "get out of your bubbles" and "spend time with people with other political beliefs," but those of us who worked hard to escape those conditions and people don't need to hear about how refreshing it is or how it is the key to "healing."
You talked to some people about solar panels saving money and they were polite about it? That's great. Maybe they will think you are a "good one" and won't report you when the Black Shirts come rounding up climate activists.
I forget where I read somewhere on here that the Ivies et al should be ashamed of their low acceptance rate and huge endowment when they could spend the endowment to grow and accept more students and like:
When you have something good and more people want it and you can provide more of it, it is kind of common sense to just go ahead and provide more
So maintaining scarcity implies either you are producing as much as is possible to produce or that your product is really the prestige of owning your product, not the product itself
