BREAKING: we just shut down YET ANOTHER speech by US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, whose bank recently insured a $400,000,000 gas plan. Last time we confronted her she had us arrested & jailed. But we were not deterred. We came back. We always will. Respect us or expect us.

The Secretary of Commerce is an officer of the Export Import Bank. This bank just approved a massive plan to allow the gas conglomerate Trafigura to scale up its fossil fuel operations. Trafigura just posted $5,500,000,000 in profits in the last six months. Is that not enough?

Literally days after she stood by in silence and let this fossil fuel project proceed she hosted this event. What did she call it? A "Fireside Chat." Hideous.

This event we shut down was focused on - wait for it - preparing young people for their future. How can the Secretary claim to do that while simping for the industry preventing them from having one?

Her record of destruction goes back years. As Governor she was asked if she’d stop taking fossil fuel cash. “No” she replied cheerily.

Last time we confronted her she had the Department of Homeland Security lock us up. We were jailed overnight in cages, roaches crawling around our feet, with nothing to sleep on but a bare metal shelf. That won't stop us.

Big, big updates are imminent. We're about to ratchet up like never before. There is no alternative. Follow along here at @climatedefiance so you can know how to stay involved.

We can not do this alone. We need people from all parts of the country to stand literally arm-in-arm with us as we block doors, storm fundraisers and shut down speeches. Signup to join us at

We are explicitly, overtly, unapologetically ready to "Make Climate Cowards Lives Fucking Hell." We need funds to keep doing this. Chip in here. If you cannot donate, share widely with your networks.

You guys are amazing! Thank you for all you do!
