John,

In far too many of our communities, public schools are failing the very young people they’re meant to serve. When kids are forced to sit in freezing classrooms in the dead of winter or drink water from dangerous lead pipes, how can we expect them to learn?

Every student and every educator deserves better than the status quo.

That’s why Rep. Jamaal Bowman introduced the Green New Deal for Public Schools — a transformational plan to direct federal funds to revitalize America’s public schools while fighting the climate crisis. Add your name today to support this urgent legislation:

The Green New Deal for Public Schools would allow us to green-retrofit every K-12 public school in America, hire and train more teachers, provide clean water in schools, boost low-income and disability-focused federal programs, and more. It would work to address historic racial inequities in school funding and prioritize investments to the communities where they’re needed most.

We’re done with half-measures and short-term fixes for systemic issues. To bring our public schools up to modern standards and get our kids the education and learning environment they deserve, we’re going to need real, structural change.

It’s time for a revolution in how we approach education — and the climate crisis. Add your name to co-sign Rep. Bowman’s Green New Deal for Public Schools. [[link removed]]
