Bad News First

The news can be overwhelming, but it can also inform, inspire, and focus our engagement. Let’s gird our loins and take a quick peek.

  1. This was a tough year in climate news (if you like clean air, water, energy, etc.), but Bloomberg has made a pretty graphic of 180 troubling actions taken by the government, so take a look.

  2. If you’re wondering what happened in public health circa 2025 and how, this article in the Washington Post reviews RFK’s impact on vaccines and the broader health care infrastructure.

  3. More than a million immigrants may lose their temporary protected status and be returned to dangerous situations, the Utah News Dispatch explains.

But Here's the
Good News!

Encouraging developments don’t always make the headlines, But good news can provide us with hope and momentum, so let's take heart!

  1. “Resistance Rangers,” an anonymous group of off-duty National Park Service employees, are rising up to protect our public lands.

  2. The American Academy of Pediatrics is suing the Department of Health and Human Services to stop funding cuts allegedly made in retaliation for the group’s support of vaccines.

  3. ICE opposition is growing in red states, where grass roots organizations are forming to support targeted community members.

And Here's What You Can Do!

Even small efforts have the potential to ripple out in ways we don’t expect. Plus, doing good is good for you. Give it a try and see!

  1. Add some environmental and sustainability accounts to your Instagram or TikTok Feeds for ideas and inspiration on climate issues.

  2. Make sure you and your family are vaccinated against COVID and flu–it’s hard to fight the good fight when you’re down for the count.

  3. Print and share ‘zines and Red Cards with your neighbors and businesses you frequent, so they know you will stand with them when they exercise their rights.
