We've had enough, John. Our schools are in crisis, and the climate emergency is knocking at our classroom doors. We're done sitting around waiting for someone else to fix it – we're taking action!
The first step is launching our Green New Deal for Schools Campaign today! This movement is all about transforming public schools in America to face the climate crisis head-on, ensuring that every student, regardless of their zip code or skin color, receives a safe and high-quality education.

As heat waves scorch record books, wildfires blot out the sun, and hurricanes devastate our communities, our classrooms suffer from outdated infrastructure, inadequate curricula, and a lack of preparedness. We're done with the excuses, the lies, and the inaction.
We're calling on school boards and superintendents to adopt district-wide policies that lead the way towards a sustainable future, while building the momentum for federal legislation that will revolutionize our education system.
Our demands are clear:
We know that in order to win a Green New Deal, we’ll need even more people to join our fight. That’s why this Thursday, September 28th, hundreds of students from all across the country are joining us in D.C. to lobby our congressional leaders in support of the Green New Deal for Public Schools. And we want you to be there with us, John.
This is our generation's chance to tackle the climate crisis, create millions of good union jobs, and invest billions in improving our public schools. It's about securing our future while making education greener, fairer, and more inclusive.
Hope I see you there,
Adah
