John,

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey just re-introduced the Green New Deal resolution in Congress.

Since this landmark resolution was first introduced two years ago, one thing has become clear: the fight for climate justice can only be won by tackling jobs, justice, and climate. Together.

The Green New Deal is one of the most popular policy proposals in the country. 57% of voters want their members of Congress to co-sponsor the resolution.1 It has inspired countless other bills like the Green New Deal for Public Housing introduced by Sen. Sanders, and the Green New Deal For Cities that Rep. Cori Bush introduced on Monday.

But despite all this, the Green New Deal has yet to pass through Congress. We have a once in a generation opportunity to push forward transformational change through this resolution. The plan for a Green New Deal, and economic, racial, and climate justice is on the table, but it’s up to our grassroots strength to force Congress to act.

Will you sign on as a Grassroots Co-Sponsor of the Green New Deal, and send a message to every Democrat, Republican, and Independent in Congress that we’ve waited long enough and we won’t tolerate inaction any longer?

The Green New Deal is one of the most strongly supported pieces of legislation because people across the country want bold climate action now. Already, over 100 members of Congress signed on as co-sponsors of the resolution, but we need more – and we need bolder action from the White House.

The Biden administration’s current infrastructure plan doesn’t go far enough. $2 trillion over 10 years isn't enough. We need a minimum of $16 trillion dollars to address the scale of the crisis we are facing.

The Green New Deal makes it clear that we need to transition from fossil fuel jobs to fair, clean energy union jobs that support people and the climate.

We can make sure we have a livable planet for future generations if we take action today – if our leaders stand up for people, not profits. If we pass the Green New Deal.

Please add your name now as a Grassroots Co-Sponsor of the Green New Deal. We'll be in touch with more ways you can help grow support for the Green New Deal and related bills in Congress. » [link removed]

Before we close this email, we want to make it clear that we cannot have climate justice without racial justice. There is no Just Recovery from the climate crisis without dismantling systems of white supremacy that destroy Black lives.

Yesterday, Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all charges for the murder of George Floyd. On the very same day, Ma’Khia Bryant was murdered by police in Columbus, Ohio.

We recognize that one conviction is not justice when militarized police uphold systemic racism and anti-Black violence every day.

We can and must build a better world.

But we cannot dismantle white supremacy alone. It requires all of us, and it starts with us following the leadership of Black-led organizations and standing in solidarity with the Movement for Black Lives and the demands to defund the police, dismantle the carceral system, and secure transformative investment in communities.

So, we are asking:

Will you commit to fight for climate and racial justice starting with following the lead of Black-led organizations like Black Visions ([link removed])and Movement for Black Lives ([link removed]) Movement for Black Lives</a> as we unlearn whiteness and dismantle white supremacy in the climate movement?

In solidarity,
Team 350
