Friend,
With a Civilian Climate Corps, we can jumpstart a revolutionary clean economy. We can put millions of people to work in their communities to build a better future. We can take huge steps to defeat the climate crisis.
Our new policy proposal is finally out in the world: how to build a Civilian Climate Corps.
Will you sign on to support a CCC (and read on to learn more)?
Here's a (non-comprehensive) look at what the Civilian Climate Corps would accomplish:
- Put 1.5 million people to work in their own communities building clean energy infrastructure
- Provide a living wage, health care, child support stipends, and other benefits to corpsmembers
- Start people on the path to new careers in the clean energy economy
- Demonstrate tangibly how government can work for people
- Improve on FDR's New Deal-era Civilian Conservation Corps by centering equity, justice, and gender and racial inclusivity
If you support a federally-funded national workforce mobilization that addresses the climate crisis with urgency and ambition, sign our petition today to show your support for the Civilian Climate Corps. Plus, when you sign this petition, we'll send you a copy of the report to read for yourself!
Thanks,
Becca Ellison
