Not even six months old, Climate Defiance is already making big waves. The leading climate and clean energy trade publication E&E News wrote: "With its public displays of opposition, the activist group Climate Defiance is elevating environmental concerns with Biden to the political spotlight arguably unlike any other group in the ideologically varied tableau of U.S. environmental groups." We do not go along to get along. We do sit in cubicles circulating petitions and signing coalition letters. We block doors. We blockade galas. We shut down speeches at think tanks and hotels and conferences and fundraisers and Congressional office buildings. We act like our very lives are on the line because they are.   Let's come together to celebrate all we have done and raise funds for the next stage of our peaceful uprising.   In our first six months we have: Shut down the main entrances to the White House Correspondents Dinner, alongside Justin Pearson and Justin Jones, the two lawmakers wrongfully expelled from the TN legislature; Converged on Biden's $25,000-per-plate fundraiser in NYC with Jane Fonda; Shut down a speech by Senator Joe Manchin; Caused Amy Klobuchar to flee her own book launch party; Taken over the Congressional Women's Softball Game; Confronted Vice President Kamala Harris on Martha's Vineyard. This is working. Here's how we know: The New York Times has mentioned our group, in multiple articles, including in the A section; We have been covered by over 100 media outlets including ABC, SF Chronicle, Politico, Washington Post, Democracy Now; We have reached 50,000,000 impressions on Twitter, organically. People power is our superpower. But we also need some funds to make this all possible.
