Vancouver’s climate leadership is a promise we can’t break
Eliminating the city’s climate and sustainability department is a betrayal of our collective future, write Carol Liao and Naomi Klein

Some powerful words from our co-director @naomiaklein.bsky.social!
Zohran Mamdani's win is "an incredible proof of concept of how to fight fascism," says @naomiaklein.bsky.social.
"Fascists want everybody to be the same. They celebrate conformity, uniformity, sameness, hierarchy. … The entire [Mamdani] campaign was a love letter to the diversity."
