While the Trump admin is scrubbing official mentions of climate change, its wars abroad and ICE occupations at home are, in fact, climate policies: They’re showcasing how the US state is orienting itself toward displacement, hardship, and the very idea of global cooperation toward a shared end.

Fortress America Is Now Our Main Climate Policy

The US spends trillions not to prevent climate catastrophe but to crack down on climate refugees and prepare for climate conflicts.

No matter what Starbucks does to try and stop us, we know we deserve a fair workplace. Our strength is in our solidarity - and we won't stop fighting until Starbucks ends its union-busting and finalizes fair contracts ✊

BREAKING: Police have been called on striking Starbucks baristas who were peacefully protesting, both in PA and NV. It seems Starbucks would rather see their own workers arrested rather than listen to their concerns in good-faith. Shame on Starbucks!

Americans are frustrated with our increasingly oligarchic political system. Selecting an assortment of lawmaking deliberative bodies through random lotteries could help fix it, by empowering ordinary people rather than unaccountable politicians.

NEW: A group of DNC members are pushing to bring Resolution 18 to a full DNC vote. The DNC Resolutions Committee killed it earlier today. It calls for a ceasefire, arms embargo to Israel, and recognition of Palestine. Just 8% of Democrats approve of Israel's military action in Gaza.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 26, 2025 Coalition Calls on DNC Members to Bring Gaza Resolution 18 to the Floor Minneapolis, Minnesota - Today, the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) Resolutions Committee killed Resolution 18: A Resolution in support of Palestinian lives. Resolution 18, introduced by DNC member Allison Minnerly, seeks to invest American dollars in America by suspending U.S. military aid to Israel and conditioning weapons transfers on compliance with U.S. and international law. After Resolution 18 was defeated, DNC Chair Ken Martin pulled his Resolution 3, which was in discordance with the Democratic base, expressing a desire to hear voices in support of Palestinian lives. A coalition of DNC members and grassroots organizations are asking to bring Resolution 18 to the full DNC floor with a clear message: we will continue to fight for the will of the voters. While Resolution 18 failed in committee, party rules allow members to bring it to the full DNC and to require a recorded roll-call vote if at least 25% of members present support the request. "The DNC membership has the power to stand up and let the public see where Democrats really stand," said Allison Minnerly, a 26-year-old DNC Member from Florida. "A roll-call vote is the minimum standard of transparency in a democracy." The campaign calls on every DNC member to: • Publicly pledge to support a roll-call vote on Resolution 18 from the floor; • Reject voice votes that hide accountability; • Stand with Democratic voters, the majority of whom oppose blank-check military aid toward an ongoing genocide. RootsAction: "We continue to strongly support 'A Resolution on Gaza,' and we are pleased to be part of the coalition that will bring it to the DNC floor. Transparency and accountability are central to democracy. Across the United States, young Democrats and others have worked tirelessly to offer the party the opportunity to turn away from its complicity with Israel's continuous mass killing of civil…Aftab Siddiqui, American Muslim Democratic Caucus National: "Resolution 18 represents exactly the kind of principled politics that wins elections. While Democrats lost ground in 2024 by wavering on core values, New York City's mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, proved that moral courage on Gaza builds winning coalitions. The DNC must learn this lesson." Nick Boyle, Illinois, DNC member: "What we are seeing with the genocide in Gaza is the world's largest ongoing mass disabling event. The fact that Gaza has more children amputees than anywhere else in the world, caused by bombs sent by the United States, should abhor everyone. We can't hold our breath waiting for Netanyahu to do the right thing. For disabled people living in Gaza and Palestine, the DNC must call for an immediate arms embargo and demand an end to Palestinian suffering and the genocide in Gaza." Zayed Kadir, New York, Chair of the High School Democrats: "Resolution 18 represents the voices of not only young Democrats but all Democrats who believe that Palestinian lives matter too. It's time for the DNC to stand on principle and stop shying away from the conversation, the moment is now." Nadia Ahmad, Florida: "The Democratic Party cannot claim to stand for justice and human rights while blocking a resolution that calls for an arms embargo and humanitarian aid to Gaza. This is about whether our party has the moral courage to listen to its members and the American people. We are demanding a roll-call vote so that every DNC member is accountable for where they stand in this historic moment." Immediate Call to Action 1. Tell the DNC that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza demands urgent action. Send a letter now urging members to bring Resolution 18 back to the floor and vote for it tomorrow: https://bit.ly/DNCGazaRollCall 2. Contact your state elected DNC Members demanding that they support Palestinian lives, not genocide. As the plenary session approaches, the campaign will publish a transparency scorecard t…

Another nonpartisan study confirms: under this latest tax scam, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Because of anti-worker yes-men in Congress, income for the poorest will drop by $1,200/year while boosting income for the wealthiest by $13,600. thehill.com/homenews/hou...
