Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Hualapai Nation Sues over Lithium Project; U.K. Police Arrest Activists over Planned Climate Action

HeadlineAug 08, 2024

In Arizona, the Hualapai Nation is suing the Bureau of Land Management over its approval of a lithium exploration project. The lawsuit accuses the federal agency of failing to properly evaluate the project’s impacts on local water wells and springs.

In the U.K., police arrested 22 people over a planned “climate camp” near the Drax power station in North Yorkshire. It’s the latest example of U.K. authorities’ intensifying criminalization of climate activism, including before any actions even take place.
