John, We need to tell it like it is: thanks to bi-partisan inaction of the past decades we are in the midst of a climate crisis which qualifies as a national emergency as described in this proposed joint resolution to Congress. Without pushing for massive investments to retool our economy, signing one's name to a piece of paper pledging to not withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change as my opponent did is utterly insufficient. This is one issue that does not lend itself to traditional methods of political compromise. As climate activist Bill McKibben says: "Physics doesn't negotiate." The climate crisis is a healthcare, immigration, economic, social, and resource crisis. This is a 911 call and hesitant leadership on climate is no leadership at all. Here's what you can do today to help me get elected, so I can lead:
Our campaign held a climate debate on the day of the presidential debate — not to debate the need for large-scale climate action and investments, but to draw attention to the DNC's inadequate leadership and lack of political courage to do what's right.
Here is a big reason why I'm running for Congress: I'm sick and tired of political inertia and failures of our representatives to mobilize their own communities when they are in power. I'm sick and tired of Congress, year after year, increasing the war budget to a staggering $750 billion without designating meaningful funding to the greatest vulnerability we face — as a nation and a civilization. We need a Department of Climate Action. Eva |
