New Mexico Rep. Deb Haaland, Joe Biden’s pick for the Secretary of the Interior, is a groundbreaking nominee. Not only is she a dedicated progressive who supports the Green New Deal and Indigenous rights, she would be the first Indigenous Cabinet Secretary in U.S. history.
Once she’s confirmed, Deb Haaland would signal a new era of climate and Indigenous rights focus in the Department of the Interior. But Republicans are already trying to derail her nomination with their typical fear mongering and lies.
We need 5,000 progressives to add their name to stand with Deb Haaland against Republicans’ attacks. Will you add your name now?

The significance of Deb Haaland’s nomination cannot be overstated. It represents a huge step forward for Indigenous representation in a country that has not historically treated its Indigenous population well.
And not only is Deb Haaland an advocate for Indigenous communities, she’s also a climate hawk who cosponsored the original Green New Deal and supports keeping fossil fuels in the ground and banning fracking.
Once Deb Haaland is confirmed, we know she’ll always fight for our climate and country. That’s exactly why Republicans are trying to stop her nomination — they’d rather push forward the interests of their corporate polluter donors.
We need to show Republicans that thousands of Americans support Deb Haaland’s historic nomination. Add your name to stand with Deb Haaland. »
