Baked into the American Jobs Plan is an ambitious proposal to set a federally-mandated Clean Electricity Standard of 100% carbon-free electricity by 2035. It would put the US on track as a nation to get emissions under control and avoid the worst impacts of climate change. That is, if it gets through Congress. In this episode, Host Leah Stokes speaks with a variety of guests who are part of the broad coalition supporting the proposal.The episode features Jamie DeMarco and Quentin Scott from Chesapeake Climate Action Network, Lauren Maunus from The Sunrise Movement, Hip Hop Caucus CEO Rev.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 30 °F, and, today, the sun will rise. At points yesterday, it felt like that was not a given. Expect highs near 50 °F and lots of sunshine.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 5,387 new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 35 new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 496 new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 131, Henrico: 221, and Richmond: 144). Since this pandemic began, 574 people have died in the Richmond region. Both statewide and locally, this is the most new cases ever reported in a single day, and Richmond tallied its 100th death due to COVID-19. Yet, at his press conference yesterday, the Governor did not introduce new restrictions, policies, or guidance to help contain the virus as it surges out of control—he simply reminded people to wear a mask, keep their distance, and wash their hands. The majority of the briefing was about vaccination, and he announced a couple major updates.First, according to the VDH vaccine dashboard, 2,204 Virginians are now fullyvaccinated with both of the required shots. So cool, and, more than anything else, seeing that number move up from zero makes me feel like we’re moving into a different (and closing) phase of the pandemic.Second, the Governor set a goal of “vaccinating 25,000 Virginias each day when supply allows.” I have absolutely no idea how that goal trickles down to each locality and local health district, but here’s some stupid math. 25,000 is about 0.3% of the Commonwealth’s population. Combined, Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield have a population of 906,600, and 0.3% of that is 2,720. So, if our region wants to meet “our share” of the 25,000 per day goal, we need to see 2,720 people vaccinated each day—or 19,040 people each week. Over the last seven days, Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield have administered 7,266 doses according to data I’ve been pulling from the VDH dashboard (which I think lags a bit). So we’re already at least a third of the way there, which, honestly, feels pretty good to me. I know every second feels like forever, every week goes by in a flash, and our sense of timing is all screwed up, BUT it really only has been about three weeks since folks started getting vaccinated in Virginia.Third, VDH has settled on who makes up Phase 1b of their vaccination distribution plan. I don’t know that I’ve talked about the phased approach to vaccination that most states have adopted—probably worth writing about further! But, in brief, Phase 1a—the phase we’re in right now—consists of hospital workers, long-term care residents and staff, and non-hospital frontline healthcare workers (PDF). Phase 1b, announced yesterday (PDF), is frontline essential workers, people 75-years and older, and folks living in correctional facilities, homeless shelters, and migrant labor camps. What’s a frontline essential worker? Great question! Here’s the list, sorted by priority, which is made up of some fairly specific groups and some hugely broad groups: police, fire, and hazmat; corrections and homeless shelter workers; childcare, K–12 teachers, and staff; food and agriculture (??); manufacturing; grocery store workers; public transit workers; and mail carriers. Of course, I think public transit workers should be near the top of that list as they’re the ones who get a lot of these other essential workers to their essential work, but that decision is above my pay grade. The governor expects this group to start getting vaccinated “near the end of January.” We’ll probably hear a lot more about how folks find out what phase they’re in, how you get notified when it’s your turn, and all sorts of other details in the coming days and weeks.Yesterday was a lot. I didn’t expect that Democrats winning both Senate special elections in Georgia—giving Democrats control of the House, Senate, and Presidency—to be second-page news by the time dinner rolled around. But a coup happened, or, as the Washington Post puts it “President incites crowd to acts of insurrection, violence.” Yesterday, I spent about eight hours in front of the TV, scared, watching…whatever that was, and I still don’t have the right words to describe what I saw or what I’m feeling or what I think should happen next. As I struggled to put words to it, a good friend described the events as “Deeply shocking—and it’s important not to be numb to that.” I think that’s where I am—deeply shocked—and I’m going to acknowledge that and just sit with it for a while. The WaPo has this (deeply shocking) photo essay from yesterday’s mob violence if you’d like to join me in sitting with it.Graham Moomaw at the Virginia Mercury says that panel of judges picked the eight citizen members of the redistricting commission. You should definitely recognize at least one name on this list: Better Housing Coalition CEO Greta Harris!OK. I know there’s a lot going on right now, and maybe equitable transit isn’t at the top of your mind. If it is, or if you wish it were, you can join RVA Rapid Transit and the Chesapeake Climate Action Network today at 12:00 PM for a lunch-and-learn situation about “Transit Oriented Development for an Equitable Future.” Del. Ibraheem Samirah and Stewart Schwartz of the Coalition for Smarter Growth will speak on affordable housing, public transit, and land use—all things I love! Register before the (free) event here.Despite increased vaccine availability, COVID-19 testing continues—as it should! Today, the Richmond and Henrico Health Districts will host a community testing eventfrom 10:00 AM–12:00 PM at Diversity Richmond (1407 Sherwood Ave).This morning’s longreadThe Poke ParadoxHere’s a unrelated longread about fish to cleanse your palate.Not long ago such gritty details were kept secret, and depending on the distributor and where they source their fish, often still are, but thanks to robust certification programs launched by nonprofits like Monterey Bay Aquarium and WWF, which require regular third-party audits, the seafood supply chain is becoming demystified. That’s led to greater consumer awareness and increased customer demand for even more transparency. Bushman doesn’t just embrace that, she also promotes it. After all, almost all raw tuna served in the U.S. arrives frozen, not fresh, so what’s the point in pretending otherwise? The container ship allows for a smaller carbon footprint than air freight, another aspect of the business tracked by Bushman, who is helping to strip the secrecy and shame from the seafood business.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

After a long, challenging year, November 3rd, 2020 is election day. But, how do we use our votes most effectively when we get to the polls? In the new Embodied Astrology guest episode, I’m talking with Shilpa Joshi, a community organizer and advocate working specifically around climate justice and policy, about her work in politics, how the current administration has affected environmental policy and why this election is so important on a whole range of issues, plus some forward looking into the rest of this year’s astrology and what’s coming up in 2021. My favorite quotes and takeaways from Shilpa: ! VOTING WILL NOT LEAD US TO LIBERATION! ! IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE, IT’S THE LEAST YOU CAN DO! ! YOUR VOTES FOR LOCAL ELECTIONS ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT (IF NOT MORE) THAN YOUR VOTE FOR PRESIDENT! ! EVEN IF YOU CAN’T VOTE OR CHOOSE NOT TO, YOU CAN STILL BE ACTIVE IN YOUR CIVIC PARTICIPATION! Beyond November 3, Shilpa hopes you help your community by doing two things: Join a mutual aid network or an organization that fights for local change (like local chapters of Sunrise Movement or Movement for Black Lives or Universal Healthcare for All, as examples), and Fill out the census (2020census.gov). The census allows for our cities, counties, and states to ask for money for schools, transit, affordable housing, healthcare (and more things) from the federal government. Black, brown, and Indigenous communities are *routinely* undercounted, meaning they don’t receive funding they need and deserve for basic services. The census does not ask about your immigration status or other sensitive information and it only takes two minutes. Shilpa Joshi (she/her) is the Coalition Director for Renew Oregon. For the last four years, she's organized a broad swath of progressive organizations, labor unions, and Tribes to advocate for comprehensive climate policy in Oregon. Before joining Renew, Shilpa led a statewide coalition to victory on a campaign to ban fracking in Maryland with the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. She has worked on local and national environmental justice and climate issues as a youth organizer, field director, coalition manager, and lobbyist for 14 years. She also serves as the Board Chair for the National Queer Asian and Pacific Islander Alliance, the only federal queer Asian advocacy organization in the US. In Portland, she likes to make elaborate meals for friends and family, and organize mutual aid to help neighbors struggling with houselessness, wildfire smoke, Proud Boys, and the police. She earned her Bachelor's degree in International Environmental Policy from American University.

Environmentalists contend that Gov. Hogan’s proposals for cutting greenhouse gas emissions in the next decade won’t go far enough to deter climate change. They say that plan is unrealistic in relying on fossil fuels and is counting on hundreds of thousands of Maryland drivers to switch to electric vehicles. Mike Tidwell heads the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, and claims there is no substance to Gov. Hogan’s greenhouse reduction plan. But Environment Secretary Ben Grumbles touts the substance of the governor’s proposals for less carbon in generating electricity -- called 'CARES.' Grumbles claims the plan recognizes the need for renewable and cleaner energy incentives. How far apart are environmentalists and the Hogan administration?

Do Good: This show benefited Chesapeake Climate Action Network Their mission in brief: The Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) is the first grassroots, nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to fighting global warming in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. There mission is to build a diverse movement powerful enough to put our region on the path to climate stability, while using our proximity to the nation’s capital to inspire action in neighboring states, regions nationwide, and countries around the world.Featured initiatives:Maryland - passed a 50% by 2030 renewable energy standard with a pathway to 100% by 2040 this past April (Clean Energy Jobs Act). They are continuing the fight to make clean energy accessible to everyone, and organizing to stop all new fossil fuel infrastructure in the state (particularly fracked-gas pipelines). We are also beginning to focus on reducing emissions from the transportation sector.Virginia - They are working to get VA on a pathway to 100% renewable energy, while focusing on job creation and holding polluting utilities responsible for their role in climate change.DC - DC is awesome and passed one of the strongest pieces of climate legislation last December (Clean Energy DC Omnibus Act of 2018) you can see implementation of it already with the expansion of solar.

While many NGOs have worked with communities to enact fracking bans, there has been less success on the state level. Brooke Harper, Maryland Policy Director at Chesapeake Climate Action Network, discusses the strategies used in Maryland to mobilize support to ban fracking in the state. She highlights the importance of building support at the local level, engaging non-traditional partners, and the most effective actions that contributed to their successful campaign.

With the United Nations Climate Change Conference underway in Germany, dire warnings are being issued about the potential that tens of millions of people will be forced from their homes by climate change in the next decade, creating the biggest refugee crisis in history. According to The Guardian, US military and security experts say the number of climate refugees will dwarf those that have fled the civil war in Syria, creating huge humanitarian challenges for Europe and the West. In this episode: Dan speaks with the co-authors of “Rising Tides: Climate Refugees in the Twenty-First Century,” published by the Indiana University Press. Denise Robbins is communications director for Chesapeake Climate Action Network, and Jack Wennersten is professor emeritus of environmental history at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and the author of several books about the Chesapeake region.Links:http://www.latimes.com/world/europe/la-fg-germany-jerry-brown-climate-change-20171108-story.htmlhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/nov/02/climate-change-will-create-worlds-biggest-refugee-crisishttp://www.iupress.indiana.edu/product_info.php?products_id=808357http://chesapeakeclimate.org/author/drobbins/https://www.amazon.com/John-R.-Wennersten/e/B001JRZZEE

Did the twin punches of Harvey and Irma constitute a convincer? Will those massive, destructive and deadly storms persuade more Americans, starting with the president, that climate change is real and causing extreme weather? While the Trump administration pulled the United States out of a leadership role on climate change, state and local officials have pledged to move ahead with initiatives to further arrest greenhouse gases. On Wednesday, a coalition of environmentalists, clergy and solar and wind energy companies urged Maryland leaders to get half of the state's electricity from renewable sources by 2030.Brooke Harper, Maryland and District of Columbia policy director for the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, says setting the 50 percent goal would put Maryland in the vanguard of states confronting climate change.Links:http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/environment/bs-md-renewable-energy-goal-20170913-story.htmlhttp://chesapeakeclimate.org/

Rising Tides sounds an urgent wakeup call to the growing crisis of climate refugees, and offers an essential, continent-by-continent look at these dangers. Over the next few decades, as sea levels rise, storms intensify, and drought and desertification run rampant, hundreds of millions of civilians will abandon their homes, cities, and even entire countries. What will happen to these massive numbers of environmental refugees? Where will they go, what rights will they have, and who will take care of them? Detailing a number of solutions, John R. Wennersten and Denise Robbins argue that no nation can tackle this universal problem alone. The crisis of climate refugees requires global, concerted solutions beyond the strategic, fiscal, and legal capability of a single country or agency.John R.

Rising Tides sounds an urgent wakeup call to the growing crisis of climate refugees, and offers an essential, continent-by-continent look at these dangers. Over the next few decades, as sea levels rise, storms intensify, and drought and desertification run rampant, hundreds of millions of civilians will abandon their homes, cities, and even entire countries. What will happen to these massive numbers of environmental refugees? Where will they go, what rights will they have, and who will take care of them? Detailing a number of solutions, John R. Wennersten and Denise Robbins argue that no nation can tackle this universal problem alone. The crisis of climate refugees requires global, concerted solutions beyond the strategic, fiscal, and legal capability of a single country or agency.John R.

A sister trade agreement to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is being negotiated in secret with the European Union. It’s called the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership but is known as TAFTA. Last month, a leaked memo showed that negotiators are pushing for the US to produce more oil and gas through extreme measures such as fracking and export it to the EU. Already the US is making preparations. In Maryland, the Governor is pushing to build a liquefied methane gas terminal at Cove Point for export. A coalition of groups that includes environmentalists, Native Americans and other residents is fighting the terminal at Cove Point. We speak with Shilpa Joshi of Chesapeake Climate Action Network about the Cove Point terminal and with Mitch Jones of Food and Water watch about TAFTA.
