John,
DNC bosses just removed the democratically added language included in the final party platform which stated that “Democrats support eliminating tax breaks and subsidies for fossil fuels.”
This begs the question for the Democratic Party: which side are you on, people or polluters?
Joe Biden must take a stand by publicly committing to exclude people shilling for fossil fuel executives out of a Biden-Harris campaign and administration.
We’ve already pressured weak-on-climate advisers like Larry Summers out of positions in a Biden administration. But now we need to make sure that Biden and Harris won’t be surrounded by people working on behalf of fossil fuel polluters.
This election is a matter of our lives and livelihoods. We have to make sure that a Biden-Harris administration won’t be filled with corporate shills who are invested in the fossil fuel industry.
The stakes of defeating Trump couldn’t be higher, that’s why we need Biden to take the climate crisis seriously.
Thank you for fighting with us,
Justice Democrats
