[1]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress

[ [link removed] ]This Earth Day, Get to know the Green New Deal [ [link removed] ]Alexandria just
reintroduced the Green New Deal resolution in Congress! The Green New Deal is
our solution for addressing climate change and increasing economic security for
working families and other communities that have been left behind. Our focused
is on ending our reliance on fossil fiels and eliminating carbon emissions while
creating at least 10 million high-wage, union jobs. [ [link removed] ]A resolution, not a bill
[ [link removed] ]The GND has 5 main goals: Achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, create
millions of high wage jobs and ensure prosperity and ecomomic security, invest
in the American infrastructure and industry to meet the needs of the 21st
century, ensure clean air and water, healthy food, access to nature, and a
sustainable environment for all, create just and equitable social and economic
systems that care for our frontline and vulnerable communities. [ [link removed] ]When the GND
was first introduced four years ago, it was called 'unrealistic.' 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. AOC and Senator Markey developed a Green New Deal Implementation
Guide to help show communities and organizers how to get federan money for GND
investments. 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. [ [link removed] ]In NY-14, this includes
funding for the Coastal Preservation Network to stabilize waterfront access
platforms on Flushing Bay, and funding for SUNY Martime College's job training
programs in offshore wind. [ [link removed] ]In NY-14, this includes funding for the Coastal

these project are great for each community, and when you look at them as a
whole, you begin to see the foundations for a federal Green New Deal.
