I was a little nervous about Netroots Nation in St. Louis, home of Budweiser beer, Ferguson, and Peabody Coal. Instead I found a serious craft brew scene, a vibrant reaffirmation that #BlackLivesMatter, and lots of climate voters. How do I know that they were climate voters? Because of the buttons they wore!
Tom Steyer is a climate voter, of course

Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) put together a terrific panel on Keeping It In The Ground, so of course he’s a climate voter. (Pictured here with some random loudmouth squawky climate hawk)

Climate voters celebrated at Netroots Nation! An open bar, shots, many good friends, and is that Jotter on the left side?
Climate Hawks happy hour
If you missed the fun, you can still be a Climate Voter. Just take the pledge. And look for Climate Voter buttons at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia next week.
As for Peabody Coal… they’ve got lots of space to lease, if you don’t mind signing in blood.
Epicenter of evil in St. Louis, for lease, cheap, inquire within.
