N<\/strong>EW POSTCARD WRITING GROUP FOCUSES ON CITIES<\/strong><\/p>\n

We wanted to let you know that we just helped start a new postcard program focused on making sure progressive voters who care about climate change turnout in local elections this November in some key cities with relevant climate policy at stake. It\u2019s www.PostcardsforClimate.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unrelated to Postcards to Swing States but has a similar setup.<\/p>\n

Would you be willing to write some of these postcards? The sign-up form is accessible from the website.<\/p>\n

The current campaign is for New Orleans. We have an FAQ with more details: www.PostcardsforClimate.com\/faq<\/a>.<\/p>\n

POSTCARD WRITING TO VOTERS ORGANIZED BY HUMBOLDT ACTIVIST FREDERICA AALTO<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is Frederica describes what they are doing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am administering a postcarding network in Humboldt County (presently over 300 writers) and we supply postcards and stamps to writers, which are available for cost at several convenient pickup locations. Have anyone interested in joining us contact me. We mostly postcard for ROV (Reclaim Our Vote), which is non-partisan, but have also postcarded for Activate America (which used to be called Flip the West), which is partisan.<\/p>\n

Withdrawing insurance coverage from these dirty projects is a powerful lever to keep fossil fuels in the ground. In the past AXA has done a pretty good job – by becoming the first insurer to exclude all coal projects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And in 10 days, on Climate Finance Day, AXA could do exactly the same thing for oil and gas. Problem is, the initiative is facing a lot of backlash and opponents are doing their best to water down the new policy<\/strong> to save their most juicy and climate-wrecking deals.<\/p>\n

Daniel, we need your help to call on Thomas Buberl, AXA\u2019s CEO, to adopt a new breakthrough policy<\/strong> to end AXA\u2019s support for new oil and gas once and for all:<\/p>\n

Tell Thomas Buberl to take leadership on climate and stop supporting new oil and gas projects!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allowed some of the West’s largest polluters to avoid Clean Air Act rules. Now Biden’s EPA has a chance to hold these companies accountable for their unchecked air pollution, cleaning up the air we breathe and clearing up the views at our national parks.<\/p>\n

Dear Representative Huffman,<\/p>\n

I am concerned about leaking methane from orphan wells, given the climate crisis we are in right now and given that there are over 96,000 wells controlled by the Bureau of Land Management. Please support HR 2415, Orphaned Well Clean Up and Jobs Act 2021 that proposes to permanently plug, remediate, and reclaim orphaned wells and the surrounding lands and to provide funds to States and Tribal Governments to do so. Thank you.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Retirement giant TIAA (Teacher Insurance Annuity Association) manages $1.3 trillion in assets and is one of the largest owners of farmland and timberland on the planet. Its clients are mostly universities and non-profits. It brands itself as a socially responsible company. And yet, TIAA is still investing billions of dollars in oil, coal, and fracked gas.<\/p>\n

TIAA says they will \u201coffset\u201d their emissions with unproven promises like \u201cNature-Based\u201d carbon sequestration, which have no record of significantly reducing emissions.<\/p>\n

Over 100 organizations recently expressed their alarm about TIAA\u2019s misleading climate plans in a letter<\/a><\/strong> to the new CEO.<\/p>\n

TIAA must reach zero emissions<\/em>, not \u201cNet Zero.\u201d This is a smokescreen that allows TIAA and others to go on polluting as much as ever.<\/p>\n
