This year in Georgia, we’ve experienced some of the hottest days on record, and 2024 is projected to be the hottest year ever. Tens of millions of indoor and outdoor workers—disproportionately low-wage earners, people of color, and immigrants—are experiencing firsthand the devastating impacts of climate change in the form of extreme heat. This is why we’re asking for your support of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) standard for “Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings.”

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is proposing to expand the boundary of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. The expansion would include the site of the proposed mine along Trail Ridge and mean lasting protections for the world's largest blackwater swamp. Join GIPL and our partners at the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) in telling the U.S. FWS this is a great plan to safeguard the Wild Heart of Georgia!

Approximately 80-100 miles off the Georgia coast lies the largest known deep-water coral reef on Earth, in a part of the Atlantic Ocean known as Blake Plateau. The continuous 300-mile-long dense coral highway dubbed “Million Mounds” supports a trove of biodiversity. As industries look farther offshore for fishing, fossil fuel development, and mineral extraction, ensuring the continuation of this vital ecological community will require dedicated attention and increased conservation measures. Advocate for permanent protections within the Blake Plateau!
