Today, as we commemorate Earth Day, we are confronted with the harsh reality of a climate emergency that imperils the very survival of the human species.

In 2023, we witnessed the hottest year on record, with the past decade marking the 10 hottest years since we began keeping records. For decades climate scientists warned us that we could not allow global average temperatures to reach 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels without catastrophic, likely irreversible damage to our planet.

We sailed past 1.5 in the first quarter of 2024, and we are now on a collision course with +2°C.

The result has been a predictable and preventable wave of catastrophic fires, floods, megastorms, and droughts. We are watching ocean ecosystems collapse and a stark rise in climate refugees.

The brunt of this environmental devastation falls disproportionately on Black, brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities – both here in the United States and across the globe.

Yet, in the face of this existential emergency, what do we see? Continuous expansion of fossil fuel extraction under both Republican and Democratic leadership.

Last year, U.S. oil production hit an all new, record high under Biden – all while he touts his “historic climate action” on the campaign trail.

Despite his lofty promises, Biden has betrayed us and our planet by continuously expanding new drilling permits, greenlighting the Willow project and moving forward with the largest offshore oil export terminal in the country to be built in the Gulf of Mexico at Freeport, TX.

While the twin parties of war and Wall Street steer us recklessly towards a point of no return, we will not consent to being tools in our own demise. We assert our human right to a stable climate, clean air and water, nourishing food, and living soil. <[link removed]>

We must rally behind a real Green New Deal – a transformative agenda that swiftly transitions us from an economic system that ravages our only home to a sustainable society centered on human needs and the preservation of life on Earth.

As President, I will establish the right to a livable planet as an unalienable human right. Climate action will begin on day one of my administration, mobilizing the full power of our federal government to overhaul our energy, transportation, and food production systems away from fossil fuels and towards clean, sustainable power sources.

Ours is the only campaign slated to be on the ballot across the country that unequivocally stands for people, planet, and peace. But we are falling critically short of the funds we need to secure ballot access in every state.

So today, to seal our mutual commitment to a livable planet for all and to guarantee that every voter has a pro-planet candidate to vote for, we are releasing a limited edition sticker to everyone who signs up for a recurring donation. <[link removed]>

<[link removed]>Make a one-time Donation <[link removed]>Mega-billionaires are literally building rockets to take themselves to space after they’ve strip-mined our planet and left us with the ruins.

We can and will stop the climate emergency. But I cannot do this alone.

Our collective survival depends on the decisions our political leaders make in the next months and years. Help me win this race to ensure the next president is one committed to addressing the climate emergency – with the record to back it up.

In solidarity and gratitude,

Jill
