It’s time for a revolution in how we approach education and the climate
crisis — for every student and educator, in every school in our
communities across the country.

Our public schools are crumbling, overheated, and underfunded. Our
students, especially those from low-income backgrounds, are falling
behind, at no fault of their own. The state of public school education in
America is disgraceful, and only suffering more each day due to the
climate crisis.

That’s why I am proud to support Rep. Bowman’s Green New Deal for Public
Schools, which would make a transformative federal investment to fund
green retrofits at every K-12 public school facility in America, hire and
train more teachers, provide clean water in schools, increase funding for
low-income and disability-focused federal programs, and so much more.

The Green New Deal for Public Schools will invest $1.43 trillion over ten
years in America's K-12 education system to fix and improve our schools.
And if passed into law, the bill will create an Office of Sustainable
Schools within the U.S. Department of Education to administer new programs
with the Department of Energy. These resources and programs include, but
are not limited to:

* Upgrading every public school in the country to create healthy,
zero-carbon, accessible – and most importantly, safe – learning
environments for students and staff.
* Drastically reducing student-to-staff ratios, to better support both
students and staff.
* Strengthening and diversifying the teacher and school staff pipeline.
* Address historic school funding inequities.

Plus, similar to the original Green New Deal, the Green New Deal for
Public Schools will fund 1.3 million jobs a year and eliminate 78 million
metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.

All of our children and families deserve expansive educational
opportunities and a thriving planet, and we hope you’ll join us in making
these demands. [ [link removed] ]Please add your name today to support a Green New Deal
