Climate change is here and now — you don’t need to look any further than my own community:
Heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires in the West, heavy rain and flooding in the Midwest, record cold temperatures, and more frequent hurricanes in the South and East — this will be our new normal unless we ACT.
That’s why, in partnership with my colleagues in the Congressional Progressive Caucus, we’re making it clear: We can’t wait — the infrastructure package that Congress is working on right now is a golden opportunity to tackle this crisis with the urgency it demands.
Our infrastructure isn't remotely ready for the worst effects of climate change. Just look at what record temperatures did to roads in Seattle…
and streetcar cables in Portland, Oregon...
Voters across America delivered Democrats the House, Senate, and White House. They want us to go big, go bold, and go fast on the change we promised them — including action on climate. Negotiating away necessary investments in infrastructure that make our communities more resilient from the impacts of climate change in pursuit of MAYBE getting a few Republican votes is irresponsible — and we can’t back down.
In solidarity,
Pramila
