> Thank you to those of you who attended the POTUS on Notice: Frontline calls for no more broken climate promises digital rally last Thursday. We had an incredible turnout from folks from all over and had the opportunity to hear powerful testimonials and calls to action from frontline youth leaders. In case you missed it, you can watch the recording here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTHV08vtV00>.

> We encourage you to share the ACTION GUIDE <https://bit.ly/ActionGuideBBFF> with your community and put pressure on the Biden Administration ahead of/during his State of the Union Address TOMORROW March 1st.
> 
> In particular, we want to draw your attention to the Twitter storm taking place during his speech 6pm PT/ 9pm ET to make it clear that he must follow through on his climate promise.

> Ukraine: Sending continued love and solidarity with everyone impacted by the war in Ukraine. Fossil Free Media pulled together some talking points <https://docs.google.com/document/d/16k9cBCrREqlfRTFbVfbC7daXGLgZioxwXpV1BFDRn0E/edit> to help make the connection between Big Oil, Putin, and the conflict in Ukraine. Jamie Henn <https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/26/big-oil-ukraine-russia-putin> and Bill McKibben <https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/25/this-is-how-we-defeat-putin-and-other-petrostate-autocrats> each wrote a good piece on these issues, and this CNN piece <https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/24/business/exxon-bp-shell-russia-oil/index.html> covers how BP, Shell and Exxon help Russia pump oil and gas.
> Supreme Court: Today, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the fossil-fueled lawsuit challenging the administration’s authority to use the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. If you’re looking for some messaging guidance and to learn more about how this interacts with our Build Back Fossil Free demands, feel free to draw from here <https://biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-releases/biden-climate-leadership-needed-in-wake-of-supreme-court-argument-2022-02-28/> and this article <https://www.grid.news/story/climate/2022/02/28/bidens-options-for-fighting-climate-change-are-shrinking/>.
> IPCC report: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its latest report <https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/>, and it drives home clearly the urgency for Biden to stop fossil fuel projects and declare a climate emergency. The UN Secretary General António Guterres made some powerful comments highlighting this point on a global level (quick retweet here <https://twitter.com/harjeet11/status/1498257272543510529?s=20&t=ES-EQxu-_GoIEzEsH-vZmw>).
> Thank you for taking action and onward in solidarity.
