Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

“Oil Fuels War”: Greenpeace Protests Russian Oil Tanker

HeadlineMar 23, 2022

Greenpeace activists on Tuesday protested a tanker carrying Russian oil into New York before a ban on new imports takes effect next month. Protesters held up signs reading “Oil Fuels War.” Greenpeace says the Biden administration should invoke the Defense Production Act to build sustainable energy and achieve independence from fossil fuels.

This comes as a new report finds wealthy nations must completely end oil and gas production by 2034 to give the world a 50/50 chance of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
