Young people have more at stake in the fight against climate change than anyone else. I had a chance to talk with some young people who are helping lead the fight, and could not be more impressed by their courage, creativity, and persistence. They give me hope. https://t.co/muFbKl5WcF — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

If you care about climate change, @JohnDoerr's new book, Speed & Scale: An Action Plan for Solving Our Climate Crisis Now, offers concrete steps that we can all take to make a difference. https://t.co/jYmFBaDDIx — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

That’s why, if we’re going to act on the scale that’s required, climate change can’t be seen as another opportunity to score political points. We need everybody. And young people in particular have an opportunity to make a real difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

But once again, progress is partial. Most nations have failed to be as ambitious as they need to be, and the escalation of ambition that we anticipated in Paris six years ago has not been uniformly realized. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

The good news is that countries around the world recognize this is a decisive decade if we want to avoid a climate disaster, and are setting important goals for 2030. They’ve also promised to help countries move away from fossil fuels and deal with the effects of climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

I spoke at COP26 in Glasgow about what’s happened in the six years since the Paris Agreement, and how much further we still need to go to control climate change. https://t.co/an9xxwrOQC — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

We’ve done some important work since the Paris Agreement was signed six year ago, but we’re still nowhere near where we need to be on climate. Watch live from #COP26 in Glasgow as I talk about the steps we can take to combat climate change. https://t.co/fpoGbnNehm — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Five years ago, the Paris Agreement went into effect. Paris provided an important framework in the fight against climate change, but it wasn’t enough. That’s why I’ll be speaking in Glasgow on Monday about the road ahead and what young people in particular can do to help. https://t.co/E7P3X6jtny — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Today is Election Day, and so much of what we care about is on the ballot––from access to health care to bringing our economy back from COVID-19 to combating climate change. We need everybody going out to vote. So make a plan to vote, and make your voice heard. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Signing the Paris Agreement to fight climate change was one of my proudest moments in office. But it was always a foundation to build on. As world leaders gather for COP26, I shared some reflections on the road to Paris and the young activists who are pushing us further. https://t.co/EebSdTQ6QS — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

In a country as large and diverse as ours, progress can often feel frustrating and slow, with small victories accompanied by frequent setbacks. But once in a while, it’s still possible to take a giant leap forward. That’s what the Build Back Better framework represents. https://t.co/ouKhRRz6qP — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Climate change isn’t a distant environmental issue—it’s already having an immediate impact on our lives, including huge national security implications as more communities come under stress. https://t.co/wLnJgynwCs — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

When you look at the history of big social movements, they’re usually started and sustained by young people who put in the work to make it happen. As we look to COP26, I’m inspired by the young people using their voices in the fight against climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

It was great to be back in New Jersey! There's too much at stake in this election to sit it out. Let's keep New Jersey moving forward by re-electing @PhilMurphyNJ and Democrats up and down the ballot. Make a plan to vote early—and get everyone you know to do the same. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Virginians delivered for me twice, and now I’m asking them to do it again by electing @TerryMcAuliffe as their next governor. Every bit of progress in Virginia is at stake in this election—and there's no time to waste. Make a plan to vote early at https://t.co/LulNbzqbqg. https://t.co/86UgQAoKBt — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Some of the most important changes often start in state legislatures. That's why I'm proud to support these candidates for the Virginia state legislature. I hope you'll join me and the @DLCC in giving them your vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Glad I had a chance to talk with our new champs! I really am proud of this team and their work this season. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

At a time when voting rights are being rolled back, the Freedom to Vote Act would strengthen our democracy and give more Americans a voice. That’s why the Senate should do the right thing and protect what so many generations fought so hard to secure. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

It was great speaking with the @MBK_Alliance Advisory Council, and hearing more about the work they’re doing to make a difference in the lives of boys and young men of color across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

General Colin Powell understood what was best in this country, and tried to bring his own life, career, and public statements in line with that ideal. Michelle and I will always look to him as an example of what America—and Americans—can and should be. https://t.co/vSxTbUE5aR — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Congrats to our new WNBA champs, @ChicagoSky! I couldn’t be prouder of this team — they worked hard for this moment, and have made our city proud. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Today, we lost an icon with the passing of Timuel Black. Over his 102 years, Tim was many things: a veteran, historian, author, educator, civil rights leader, and humanitarian. Michelle and I send our thoughts to his family, and everyone who loved him. https://t.co/EDxgIGbZHB — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

I was deeply saddened to learn about the passing of General Ray Odierno after a battle with cancer. He devoted his life to serving this country, and for that I will always be grateful. Michelle and I send our thoughts to his wife Linda, and their children. https://t.co/25EWqyAXdI — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Congratulations to Maria Ressa and Dmitry Muratov. This award is a tribute to their extraordinary courage and the enduring value of fact-based journalism and freedom of expression, which is under threat in far too many places today. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

And of course, I’m excited for my @WhiteSox to be back in the playoffs. It’s going to be hard to top a walk-off home run on the Field of Dreams, but if any team can do it, it’s this one. Go Sox! https://t.co/vymsDfGpCW — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

It’s always good to be from Chicago, but this year is especially sweet. Congratulations to the @ChicagoSky for making it to the WNBA finals, and to the legend, @Candace_Parker, for making all of us proud. We’ll be rooting for you. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

If we don’t stand up for democracy, we’ll see this type of gerrymandering happen in even more states. It’s why @DemRedistrict is fighting for #FairMaps. And it’s why the Senate must pass the Freedom to Vote Act to protect our communities from partisan gerrymandering. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

And in Georgia, Republicans released a congressional map that decreases the voting power of communities of color – including African Americans in a historically Black district – and ignores how the state has changed. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

In Texas, for example, Republicans recently passed a law making voting harder, especially for people of color. Now they’re advancing a new congressional map that’s tilted in their favor and doesn’t reflect the state’s growth. — PolitiTweet.org
