This is the first time a court vacated FERC approval of an LNG terminal. Now, we must keep up the pressure to stop new LNG fracked gas export facilities for good! Congratulations to the South Texas Environmental Justice Network, the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas, and our other partner organizations for their years of organizing and fighting the fossil fuel buildout in the Gulf!

🌲 Our forests need your voice! 🌲 The U.S. Forest Service is considering stronger protections for our precious old-growth forests, which are vital in combating climate change and preserving biodiversity.
