When Big Oil threatened “huge political consequences”, our movement countered with a message of hope. Today, President Obama stood up for the generation that put him in office.
Today is a victory for the thousands of people across the country who summoned every ounce of courage and creativity they could muster, and resoundingly declared that our future will not be sold to the highest bidder.
Today is a big step for the planet, and it’s an even bigger step for our movement.
