Response: Debt ceiling bill is a disaster filled with poison pills Congress must reject

Response: Second rejection of Manchin’s dirty deal demonstrates power of climate, environmental justice movements
“We’ve defeated Manchin’s dirty deal twice so far, and we’ll do it as many times as we must until communities and the climate are safe from rampant oil and gas expansion,” said Collin Rees.
