Thanks, Bill, for the clear call to action, and for continuing to highlight the efforts & brilliance of other hardworking climate champions. You've inspired me to dust off my mostly-abandoned social media to help give this rally the attention it deserves.

Bill, I’m thrilled to learn folks will be using the Climate Action Now app on Sept 6! It’s the perfect tool for generating massive action in the climate fight. I’m hoping more folks will make it a daily habit as I have done. It’s easy and fun!

Biden just announced that John Podesta (a non Earth Squad member and who helped Hillary to clean Bernie's clock in 2016) will lead a task force of cabinet secretaries and the heads of 21 federal agencies that Mr. Biden created when he took office to mobilize the government to confront climate change.

This seems OK to me as long as I can get my Senior Discounted EV for <$15K. However, the battery is optional at $20K. Maybe I will just wait to get an E-Bike for $500 so I can go touring in Vermont.
