Despite overwhelming support from Democratic voters and activists, and many presidential candidates, last weekend the DNC voted against hosting a debate dedicated to the climate crisis -- a crisis that threatens the survival of every living being on earth.
And amazingly a senior advisor to Joe Biden's presidential campaign actively campaigned against a climate debate.
While it's understandable why the Biden campaign wanted to kill it (after all, he's publicly supported fracking in the past), our democracy is weaker thanks to the Biden campaign's efforts to oppose a dedicated climate debate. [link removed]
That's why it's more important than ever that we continue our mission of challenging the stranglehold that centrists and their big money donors have on our politics.
Because of our hard work, over 50 other DNC members signed on to co-sponsor the resolution calling for the formation of a permanent DNC Environment and Climate Crisis Council to help create party policy and elevate and empower the voices of those most affected by the climate crisis.
The resolution was adopted, and I am proud to serve as the council's first chairperson.
Rush a donation before our critical end-of-month deadline to ensure we have the resources to continue advancing our progressive message. We are going up against "centrists" like Joe Biden and the most powerful corporations in the world and we rely on grassroots donors like you to compete and win!
Our Revolution members, led by board members Jane Kleeb and Shailene Woodley, organized across the country in support of a climate debate. We were successful in adopting a resolution to establish a permanent DNC Environmental and Climate Crisis Council chaired by Michelle Deatrick, a leader of OR Michigan and DNC member.
We can't allow the so-called "centrists" (an odd name for a group of people most known for holding unpopular, corporate-friendly opinions) and their allies in the media to distort the science of the climate crisis. That's why we need your help to continue organizing inside the Democratic Party and outside for real change as we fight the climate crisis. [link removed]
