So my ask: commit to helping Sierra Club or any other organization that is standing with us in this struggle. I just hosted a house party for Sierra Club's Environmental Law Program, one of the organization's crown jewels. Give money, take action, do something, but don't take the bait. 8/

The real scandal is regulators’ dereliction of duty on climate risk.

Climate change is a growing threat to our financial system. Scrapping oversight doesn’t make it go away—it just makes a crisis more likely.
