Hi John,

It’s time for a Green New Deal for Public Schools — for every student and educator, in every school in our communities across the country.

That’s why we’re supporting a proposal, introduced by AQE’s longtime friend and ally Rep. Jamaal Bowman, that would would allocate federal dollars towards funding green retrofits at every K-12 public school facility in America, hiring and training more teachers, increasing funding for low-income and disability-focused federal programs, and so much more. Show you support a Green New Deal for Public Schools by adding your name now.

As a nation, we need to prioritize long term investment for our students and address educational and environmental injustice, starting with the schools in Black and Brown communities that have been underserved for decades. That will mean funding for safe and updated school facilities, promoting equity across school districts and states, protecting the rights of students with disabilities, ensuring that small class sizes are a central pillar of our education system and more.

We can and must ensure that our public schools are healthy, safe and supportive environments for all students. Add your name now to co-sign the Green New Deal for Public Schools.

In solidarity,

Jasmine Gripper
