Time Magazine covered Jane's travels to the Ecuadorian Amazon earlier this year, where she stood with Indigenous leaders resisting oil drilling on their ancestral lands. Her message is more urgent than ever: If we lose the Amazon to oil, we lose the future. This is a movement we all have to be a part of.

⚠️ DONALD TRUMP’S EPA CUTS HIT HOME In case you missed it: Trump’s EPA is moving to eliminate the Energy Star program — one of the most cost-saving, climate-friendly initiatives in modern history. Since the ’90s, it’s helped Americans save over half a trillion dollars in energy costs and cut billions of tons of emissions, all while guiding consumers toward smarter, more efficient appliances. Now, that program is on the chopping block, and you can expect higher utility bills, dirtier air, and fewer tools to fight the climate crisis — just so fossil fuel donors and corporate polluters can keep cashing in.

🏆 CELEBRATING A MAJOR JANEPAC VICTORY Austin Fölnagy just WON reelection to the Lane Community College Board with 65% of the vote! JanePAC was proud to endorse Austin — a true climate champion who lost his home in the 2020 Holiday Farm Fire, and has never stopped fighting for bold climate action.
✊ HOW DEMOCRATS ARE FIGHTING BACK News broke this week that sixteen Democratic-led states are suing the Trump administration over brutal cuts to scientific research. The lawsuit, filed by Attorneys General from New York, California, Colorado, and 13 other states, challenges Trump’s decision to slash more than $200 million in National Science Foundation (NSF) research funding. This is about who gets to shape the future of science in this country. Trump’s trying to erase progress. These states are drawing the line.
