URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Tell Congress to support safe, sustainable public schools
and ensure a bright future for our young people!

Many of our public schools are underfunded and under-resourced. Students try to learn in crowded classes and outdated buildings – some without
working AC. In some cases, students and staff are regularly exposed to environmental hazards like mold and asbestos.

The good news is that Senator Ed Markey and Representative Jamaal Bowman just
re-introduced a bill to change all that: the Green New Deal for Public Schools Act. This legislation would provide desperately needed funding to support our
students and teachers, including upgrading every school building in the country to create healthy, zero-carbon
and accessible learning environments.

Please, Friend, take just 30 seconds to support our
students and staff in public schools. Tell Congress to create jobs and green our
schools by passing the Green New Deal for Public Schools Act! >>

[[link removed]]Friends of the Earth partnered with the sponsors to ensure that the bill also
includes resources for healthy, climate-friendly school meals, including more
plant-based school meal options. All students deserve access to nutritious meal
options, and more plant-based meals on the menu will reduce the climate-warming emissions created by industrial meat production that are putting young people’s futures in peril.

The Green New Deal for Public Schools Act will fund millions of good-paying jobs in every school district in the country. It’s past time we rebuild our schools
and fully invest in the next generation. Will you send your message to Congress and fight for green, safe schools for
our nation’s students?
