Olivia Rowland, an organizer with the Party for Socialism and Liberation said, “Trump is a billionaire, was elected with the help of other billionaires, and runs the government on behalf of the billionaire class. Like all the politicians – Democrat or Republican – Trump will say anything to get elected. He ran a campaign promising to stand up for working people against the powerful elite. But the policies Trump is planning to implement, and the people who he is appointing to implement them, show that his real agenda is to redistribute even more wealth from the bottom to the top.”

This past November, world leaders gathered at the United Nations annual climate talks (COP29) with the main goal of securing an ambitious climate finance agreement, alongside reaffirming that nations will take meaningful steps to cut emissions and transition away from fossil fuels as was agreed upon last year.
The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) invites you to join a virtual discussion to learn more about our efforts to highlight scientifically necessary outcomes at COP29, how we engaged on the ground during these contentious international climate negotiations and called out the malign influence of fossil fuel interests, and where we go from here — including the impact of the incoming Trump administration which has threatened to exit the Paris Agreement.

The military detention facility at Guantánamo Bay is a horrific symbol of torture, indefinite detention, and injustice under the leadership of the United States.
It holds 15 Muslim men, many who have never faced charges or a trial. Hundreds of men and boys have been detained, tortured, and denied their rights at Guantánamo over the last 22+ years. All of these actions are human rights violations under international law.
Time and time again, President Biden said he was committed to protecting and upholding human rights — and these next two weeks are his final opportunity to make good on those promises.
