#tbt to Green Corps' work with the Arctic Refuge Defense Campaign in Fall 2022. Congrats to all of the organizers and organizations working to protect the Arctic!
@Chubb recently announced a policy prohibiting insuring any drilling projects in the Arctic Refuge. They know it’s bad business, plain and simple—@TheHartford and @Travelers should take note. #ProtectTheArctic #StandWithTheGwichin
GC'23 just wrapped their spring campaigns! Organizers built public support for a new marine protected area, to stop the development of finfish farms in federal waters, to protect pollinators, and to ban single-use plastics in Oregon.
We need more trained organizers to help society take the "quantum leap in climate action" to mitigate global warming. Check out this piece about the UN's most recent climate report.
