Yesterday Ro stood outside the DNC with the Sunrise Movement, progressive leaders like AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Ed Markey, in addition to new members to our coalition like Cori Bush, Mondaire Jones, and Jamaal Bowman to demand action on climate change.
Ro stood with these members to speak about how a climate policy is not just for the protection of our planet, but for the economy and job growth. While Ro and his allies are working in Washington to push for a Green New Deal, it’s up to us to keep up this movement on the ground.
Our new Congress has more progressive voices than ever and we have to use that to our advantage. Together, we can grow our momentum and show more people than ever why a Green New Deal is about even more than protecting our environment.
Like Ro said yesterday, “a Green New Deal is a policy to put the working class back to work to create good paying jobs and to create jobs in the parts of the country that need those jobs the most.”
We need to demand an office of climate mobilization. We need to demand a climate policy as an economic policy. We need to demand a Green New Deal — but the only way we can get that done is by growing our grassroots movement.
We have the facts on our side, and now we need the people-power. Make a contribution right now to help us continue organizing on the ground for a Green New Deal.
Let’s get it done,
Team Ro
