This is major news.
Alexandria just reintroduced the Green New Deal resolution in Congress!
The Green New Deal (GND) envisions an economic mobilization much like what former President Franklin D. Roosevelt implemented during the Great Depression. It would create millions of good, union jobs all while repairing our infrastructure, reducing pollution, and building the 100% renewable energy future we need.
The GND also focuses on environmental justice — which means centering Indigenous and frontline communities that are suffering the worst effects of the climate crisis in the process.
Today marks four years since Alexandria first introduced the Green New Deal in Congress. In honor of this anniversary, can you donate $4, $14, or $40 today to support this critical resolution to meet the climate crisis with the urgency and scope it demands?
Four years ago, very few people knew what a “Green New Deal” meant. But since then we’ve made a lot of progress:
- Last year, Congress made the biggest federal investment ever – $369 billion — to fight climate change through the Inflation Reduction Act.
- We secured another $100 million for 60 different local Green New Deal projects, stretching from Hawaii to Vermont.
- Our allies in Congress introduced 12 companion bills that apply the GND principles of jobs, justice, and climate to everything from agriculture to electric vehicles.
- Last Congress, more than half of Democrats sponsored a GND bill.
Of course, there’s still a lot more to do. While the investment Congress made last year to fight the climate crisis was meaningful, it still left a lot of work undone — particularly when it comes to the intersection between racial justice and climate policy. We need your help to continue building our progress.
When it was first introduced, the GND was called ‘unrealistic’. But, thanks to your support, last year we won the largest climate investment in history. Can you make a contribution right now to help Alexandria keep up the fight for the Green New Deal in Congress and transformative policies like it?
