The National Park Service removed an exhibit from Philly's Independence National Historical Park examining the legacy of slavery. The move is the latest by the Trump Administration to whitewash American history at NPS sites. More: bit.ly/NPSCensorship
📈⚡ Energy demand is higher than ever
📈 💰 So are electricity prices
1/20 marks 1 yr of Trump’s presidency. His war on clean energy is driving down supply & driving prices up. Americans need to look no further than their energy bills. Say no to Trump’s #PollutersFirst agenda! bit.ly/SCPA-SendTheBill
Dr. King taught us that justice lives in how we treat one another and whether we have the courage to speak the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. The NPS was forced to end free admission on MLK Day & Juneteenth. When Black history & stories of marginalized communities are erased, we all lose.
💸 We're sending our high energy bills back to Washington!
🙄 Trump promised to lower energy costs by 50% in his 1st year. It's no surprise that he's broken that promise. Thanks to reckless and backwards policies, energy bills are skyrocketing.

🚗 Trump & DOT Sec. Duffy plan to roll back fuel economy standards for cars & trucks. These standards incentivize auto makers to build cleaner, more efficient cars that save consumers $$ at the pump.

Excited for positive news! The Rush Twp Supervisors (Centre Cty) approved the pending permit for the renewable energy project known as Black Moshannon Solar - a project that would generate enough to power 200,000 homes annually and utilize ~2,000 acres of toxic mineland. More: bit.ly/RushTwpSolar
Don't Bail Out Coal!

🌀 From Superstorm Sandy to Hurricane Melissa, extreme weather disasters have become too frequent. We won't stand by while Trump jeopardizes our safety, health, economy, and future so he can give kickbacks to his billionaire buddies. Cuts to federal agencies like NWS, NOAA & FEMA put lives at risk.
Protect #RGGI. Protect Pennsylvania’s future.
PA lawmakers are considering a budget deal that would eliminate PA's participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) — without any replacement plan to cut emissions, protect consumers, or create clean energy jobs. Act: bit.ly/ProtectRGGI
💡🔌PA leaders are ready to trade away #RGGI — our best tool to cut carbon pollution and bring $1B+ into our communities — to pass a ONE-year budget.
Don't let them sell out our future.
✊Keep PA in RGGI

TOMORROW is #ElectionDay!
3 PA Supreme Court Justices, Donohue, Dougherty, & Wecht, are up for retention. Their decisions have protected our constitutional right to clean air and water. They'll decide if PA joins #RGGI.
A “YES” vote retains them. Low turnout = your vote has HUGE power. Go #vote!
A red graphic with white text reads, "The RGGI Decision Ahead -- PA's Supreme Court will soon decide if our state joins the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) -- a multi-state program that cuts carbon emissions, improves air quality, and funds clean energy jobs.

Our clean energy future is in limbo.
PA’s Supreme Court will soon decide if we join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) — a multi-state program that cuts carbon emissions, improves air quality, & funds clean energy jobs.
ONE justice could decide the outcome.
On 11/4, vote YES to retain!
@sierramagazine.bsky.social: Laurel Caverns is the largest natural bat 🦇 cave in the northeastern US, protecting the endangered small brown bat, large brown bat, & tri-colored bat. The cave sits on Chestnut Ridge & is below Forbes State Forest. Could it be PA's 1st underground park? bit.ly/47qLWr6
A green graphic with white text, "Protecting PA's Natural Resources -- In 2017, the PA Supreme Court ruled in PEDF v. Commonwealth that the state must manage public natural resources as a trustee for all Pennsylvanians. That means our state forests aren’t just government property — they belong to the people. These protections depend on having Justices who honor the PA Constitution’s Environmental Rights Amendment." The headshots of three PA Justices with their names follow. "On November 4, vote YES to retain! Paid for by Sierra Club PA PAC."
DYK PA's top court protects our nat'l resources?
🌳The Court ruled in PEDF v. Commonwealth (2017) that PA must manage public nat'l resources as a trustee for ALL residents. That means our state forests aren’t just gov't property, they belong to the people.
🗳On 11/4, vote YES to retain our Justices!

In Robinson Twp v. Commonwealth, PA's top court repealed a law allowing fracking drill pads near homes, schools, & parks, violating PA's constitutional right to clean air & water.
This protection exists b/c our Justices upheld the Environmental Rights Amendment.
On 11/4, vote YES to retain them.
