Happening NOW: Green New Deal action on Capitol Hill

We need a Green New Deal. Right now in DC, we're calling for Chuck Schumer and Senate leadership to endorse a Green New Deal. Share the livestream now to show you support visionary legislation for climate action!

Lorelei,

We're at it again. Last month, thousands of young people took to DC in a show of force to fight for a Green New Deal and real climate leadership in Congress. Now we're back on Capitol Hill to demand the only feasible solution that meets the urgency and scale of the climate crisis: A Green New Deal.

With Congress back in session and new progressive champions Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib in office, we have an historic opportunity to drastically alter the course of our future. That's why today, we're pulling out all the stops to ask Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democratic leadership to step up as real climate leaders.

50+ people are in Washington, DC right now delivering a clear message to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his fellow Democratic leaders: "What's your climate plan?" Tune in and share the livestream here now as we demand real climate leadership.

As Trump's government shutdown drags on into its 25th day, it's time for Democrats to pivot from the President's xenophobia and hatred towards practical solutions to achieve a Fossil Free future.

Senator Schumer has already stated he wouldn't make a deal on infrastructure without addressing climate change. Now is the time for him to walk the talk and call for a Green New Deal. Imagine if $5.7 billion dollars funded a bold, comprehensive climate action plan instead of a racist southern border wall? That is the progress we need to see.

That's why we're calling for Chuck Schumer and Senate leadership to endorse a Green New Deal. Share the livestream now to show you support visionary legislation for climate action!

U.S. carbon dioxide emissions increased in 2018¹, and show no signs of letting up—showing that we are moving away from the climate action we need. A new report from Oil Change International² finds that expansion of U.S. oil and gas development could enable 120 billion tons of new carbon pollution by 2050.

We can't wait any longer on a Green New Deal. It's up to all of us to put as much pressure as possible on Democrats to deliver solutions to protect our communities and climate.

Tune into the livestream now and tell your friends to join you too. The more viewers we have, the clearer it'll be to Democratic leaders that the people—and history—are watching.

 

Onward,
Roberto Juarez
