Hey John,
On Monday, the people of Iowa caucused for a presidential candidate. Now, the country’s eyes are turned towards New Hampshire for tonight’s presidential debate and next week’s primary.
We’ve demanded that climate be a top priority for the presidential debates ever since they started. So far, the DNC has refused to host a climate debate and the moderators have failed to give climate policy the attention it deserves. In the meantime, voters have been left uninformed about the candidates’ policy plans — some of which don’t include vital solutions like keeping fossil fuels in the ground or transitioning to 100% renewable energy by 2030.
Why is it important to you that the candidates get a chance to talk about the climate crisis? What questions do you want the moderators to ask? #OurFutureOurDebate is the place for you to share all these thoughts and more.
If the DNC and media outlets won’t make space for the climate conversation at the debates, we’re going to do it ourselves. By raising our voices together with the #OurFutureOurDebate hashtag, we can spark wider interest in climate policy from voters and signal to candidates that we’re paying attention to their climate stances.
In solidarity,
Clarissa Brooks
