Even though there are lots of issues that we are facing due to climate change, celebrating the wins that come in our way can help us further the battle for our future. Here are some #wins to share some #climatejoy and encourage #ClimateActionNow medium.com/the-environment/c…

While getting people on a vegan diet will be extremely good for the environment, convincing even more people to cut down on beef and diary will be faster and have an equally large impact. @ClimateAd medium.com/climate-conscious…
Can someone explain to me how a billionaire paying $0 in taxes is "smart" but a laid-off worker getting their unemployment insurance benefits is "leeching off the system?"

It’s time we stop giving hardworking Georgians’ dollars away to millionaires. Under my tax rebate plan, families making below $250,000 a year — about 95 percent of income tax filers in the state — will see financial relief and support.
