CARI Announces Endorsements for the 2026 General Election

CARI is Supporting Candidates Committed to Climate Action and Clean Energy Across Rhode Island

world.350.org

We’re excited to share that nearly every candidate CARI endorsed won their primary race! That’s a huge win for climate action in Rhode Island.  Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen: volunteering for campaigns, talking to your neighbors, and, most importantly, getting out to vote!

One thing is becoming clear: this isn't going to be a low-turnout Rhode Island primary. Total turnout as of 3pm is just under 109,000 voters - that's 33% higher than at the same hour in 2022. And election-day turnout alone is running 12% higher despite much higher early vote.

SEPTEMBER 20 — Join CARI for our 2026 Picnic for the Planet! We'll be announcing speakers and sharing activities this week. Get your tickets today! 🌎 actionnetwork.org/ticketed_eve...

⏰️ Time is ticking on Zero-Trash Bash tickets! At the Bash, ecoRI News columnist Frank Carini will trade his reporter’s notebook for the hot seat, and Terry Grey, DEM director, will take the interviewer’s chair and put Frank on the record. No topic is off limits! buff.ly/ApWZq4Cis

Today is primary day in Rhode Island! If you haven't voted already, find a time to go before polls close! Remember, voting is a climate action! Who we elect has significant impact on our ability to act on climate. 🌎 vote.sos.ri.gov

Finally got around to reading @sueanderbois.bsky.social's very detailed & comprehensive Energy Plan. This is the kind of vision that we need in #RhodeIsland & this is why I will be voting for Sue for Lt. Governor. (We at @climateactionri.org also endorsed her). www.sueanderbois.com/priorities

For years, the oil and gas industry has argued that you can’t prove which company caused which disaster. A new study says otherwise. For the first time, a study has drawn a straight line from single corporate emitters like Exxon or Chevron to specific heatwaves and areas of extreme rainfall.

It just got way easier to sue fossil fuel companies over climate change

The UN has reported that global warming will shoot past the 1.5 ºC climate limit. This should not be seen as a sign to give up though, we have known we were on this path for a long time and every degree of warming matters. Action now is more important than ever. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

For my friends at @ecorinews.bsky.social, I wrote an op-ed about Newport Buzz's decision to publish climate propaganda from the Heartland Institute.

Couldn't put it better myself. The US becoming a retrograde petrostate - which is where the Trump Admin is pushing us - doesn't make us safe.
