The threat of climate change isn’t a tomorrow problem. For decades, marginalized communities have endured the impacts of systemic environmental degradation. Now that we are witnessing extreme weather patterns, it’s all too clear. This crisis will not only impact future generations but is impacting global communities NOW.

BNC candidate Cori Bush put it best: “It’s tempting to think there are more immediate problems than the environment that elected leaders need to solve. The reality is that almost all the issues we care about, such as economic and racial inequality and access to clean air and water, are connected to environmental racism and the climate crisis.”

From Flint’s water crisis, the hurricane that devastated Puerto Rico, floods in Texas, wildfires in California, poisoned water and air in Appalachia, and forests blazing in the Amazon, lives are being lost. Yet representatives of both parties would rather cower to corporate pressures than take the bold steps needed.

Greta Thunberg spoke bravely before the United Nations today, "People are suffering, people are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extension and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of economic growth!

If you kept understanding the situation and kept failing to act, then you would be evil and that I refuse to believe.”

Exactly. If you heard Greta today and were motivated to act then ask yourself, “What am I doing to act today?”

Let’s do something NOW! Let’s elect officials who are willing to pass the legislation we need.

The climate threat is real, and it’s not a separate issue from the seemingly more immediate challenges we face in our communities, as a nation, and around the world. We MUST elect representatives who understand...climate change is a NOW problem.
