Nearly 3 million households across Texas are still without power – and
more snow and ice is expected in the coming days.

At least 31 people have died in storm-related incidents as millions are
without heat or running water in subzero temperatures. People are seeking
warmth in their cars, searching for places to get a meal and electricity.

While the Texas Governor Greg Abbott is on Fox News spreading
misinformation about renewable energy, millions are suffering and we all
must pitch in to help.

The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center, Ending Community Homeless Coalition
(ECHO), Family Eldercare, Houston Food Bank, and Feeding Texas are working
around the clock to assist houseless, hungry and senior Texans in Travis
and Dallas County, and beyond.

100% of your donation will go directly to these organizations.

In the midst of this crisis, Governor Abbott went on Fox News blaming
solar and wind and using this crisis as “evidence” that the Green New Deal
would be “deadly,” when in fact 80-90% of Texas’ energy comes from fossil
fuels.

Let’s be clear about what’s really going on. The failure of fossil fuels and
Republican governing caused the blackouts. Almost all of the outages were
caused by non-functioning gas power plans. Yes, some wind turbines and
solar facilities were affected, but on Monday while gas plants were
freezing, wind and solar exceeded expected power delivery.

Only inaction and failed leadership are to blame for what’s going on. The
lack of investment in our infrastructure is what got us here and this is
an example of what to expect if we don’t pursue a Green New Deal.

As climate change accelerates, many electric grids will face extreme
weather events like this that go beyond what they were designed to handle.
We must help people now, and prepare our infrastructure for the future.

automatically be split between these organizations on the ground providing
immediate relief.

With thanks,

Team AOC
