The verdict against Greenpeace sends a chilling signal to anyone defending natural & human rights in the U.S. We stand with Greenpeace as they appeal & continue to fight for our 1st Amendment rights. We will not be silenced by corporate greed. https://lnkd.in/ex7b6fx2

🚨California’s State Mining and Geology Board is proposing a new regulation to guide the process for exempting mining projects from the state’s most important mining law, the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act. A loophole in the law allows some mining projects to skip over important environmental protections. The board is proposing a new regulation to standardize the exemption process. But their proposal comes up short. It still allows decisions to be made behind closed doors, without a fair say for tribes and local communities. 🚫 If you live in California, your name is needed! 🗣️ Send a comment to the board today. 🔗bit.ly/smara-alert

♻️ Recycling Won’t Save Us—But This Might! 🌍🔥 This Global Recycling Day, let’s shift the focus. We need systemic change, not just personal responsibility. That means holding corporations accountable for their waste and pushing for policies that actually reduce pollution at the source. 🏭💸 We’ve all heard it: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! But let’s be real: corporations overproduce plastic waste, and they want us to feel guilty instead of holding them accountable. Recycling plastic isn’t enough. We need bold action NOW! ✊💚 #HoldPollutersAccountable #ZeroWaste #GlobalRecyclingDay
