Starting February 6th severe winter storms have struck parts of the central and southern US, including Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. At least 114 people have been killed people have died from weather-related incidents, with damage costs estimating $195 billion.

Climate change had amplifIed a lot of weather events from Minnesota dropping 16 degrees below average and parts of UK experiencing incredible storms.

It will only get worse from here... unless we do something.

Support @SunriseMovementDallas as they raise funds for local mutual aid groups to house and feed vulnerable Texans amid the deadly cold. You can find more groups doing relief work below!
