The Green New Deal is counting on you

Next week, we're calling for a week of action to demand the real climate leadership we need. Can you step up and take action?

Lorelei,

This is what major momentum looks like: on Monday, presidential candidate Kamala Harris announced her support for a Green New Deal, tweeting: "I support a Green New Deal. Climate change is an existential threat to all of us, and we have got to deal with the reality of it."

That makes four 2020 frontrunners who have expressed support for this bold plan to create millions of jobs fighting the climate crisis and building a just transition to the renewable energy economy we need.

This people-powered movement is successfully transforming the politics of climate change like never before. Now, we need you to keep the pressure up in Washington.

That's why next week, people are taking action nationwide to call on all our elected officials to support a Green New Deal. There's an event near Kent — sign up here to join.

Meanwhile, next Tuesday, Donald Trump will give his rescheduled State of the Union address. We already know he'll use the speech to spread fear, lies, and hate. But Trump's divisive platform is wildly out of step with what we the people want: a resounding majority of American voters oppose a border wall, disapprove of Trump, and blame him for the senseless shutdown.

At the same time, a record-breaking 72% of Americans feel personally concerned about climate change — and an overwhelming majority of voters across the political spectrum support a Green New Deal to put people to work fighting the climate crisis.

This is a critical moment to step up and make it clear to our representatives in Congress not only what they must keep fighting against, but what we need them to stand for — a more just country and livable climate where all of us can thrive.

That's what a Green New Deal is about, and that's what we're fighting for. Let's make it happen.

There are already more than 80 events planned next week to demand real climate leadership from our representatives, and there's one near Kent. Can this movement count on you? Sign up here to take action.

With resolve,

John
