Senator Saval has fought hard for Whole Home Repairs - a popular housing repair program in PA... and the program just went national after Congress expanded it into a federal pilot! https://southphillyreview.com/2026/06/25/congress-passes-home-repair-initiative-created-by-saval/
Couldn't be prouder of this AZ crew. They took on big corporate and right-wing spending and WON their primaries. @senatorlaurenkuby.bsky.social @senanaliseortiz.bsky.social

Just so we are clear... AZ is NOT for sale. Corporate utilities tried to buy AZ elections to defeat climate champions. Voters rejected this attempt to buy the elections and chose candidates who will fight for people over profit.

If you’re looking to improve your climate reporting, this training by @coveringclimatenow.org is worth your time. Having completed it myself, I can say there aren’t many programs right now that do as good a job of helping journalists report on the climate crisis with greater confidence. Link 👇🏽
On Tuscon City Council, Perez listened to community concerns and voted against Project Blue, a massive data center project. Now he’s running for State Senate to keep fighting for communities over Big Tech. Help him win tomorrow! https://secure.actblue.com/donate/no-data-centers
Due to persistent community pressure, NY Gov passed the first state-wide data center moratorium - and that's a big deal. We've got lots of work to do & that's why we elected these climate champions to the NY state leg.
Jeremy Matlow is running to become the progressive climate mayor of Tallahassee, Florida! Flordia's statewide officials are bowing down to Trump; we must elect FL progressives who will fight back.
