It’s what we do all day every day. When you come here to “Reader Supported News” and ignore the organization’s funding that is unfair and it is unjust. We will absolutely challenge that too.
We - must - have your help to do this. Right now you are not providing it.
Unfair, unjust.

Climate Activist Bill McKibben Arrested Protesting Trump's Immigration Policies
Peter Wade, Rolling Stone
Wade writes: "Bill McKibben is no stranger to getting arrested for protesting. Usually it's when he's protesting fossil fuel companies in response climate change, but on Thursday, the climate activist was arrested along with six others who refused to leave Rep. Elise Stefanik's (R-N.Y.) Glen Falls office in a protest of President Trump's immigration policies."

EXCERPT:
In an email to Rolling Stone, McKibben spoke of the intimate connection between climate change and immigration, saying, “The climate crisis and the immigration crisis are tightly linked. Through no fault of their own, increasing numbers of people around the world find themselves unable to raise food — it’s now too hot or too wet or too dry. Their numbers will grow, staggeringly in the course of this century. So we should probably think about how to justly deal with that fact, instead of erecting walls and building cages.”
The World Bank estimated in 2018 that climate change will displace 143 million climate refugees by 2050, mostly from Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia.
