Roads, streetcars, and other critical infrastructure melting from extreme heat in the Pacific Northwest, where record-breaking temperatures up to 120° were experienced throughout Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.
Major flooding in Germany, Belgium, and across Europe has killed over 200 people, washing away homes and damaging roads, bridges, and electrical grids, leaving thousands without power.
In California and throughout the American West, record-breaking wildfires continue to spread, destroying homes, businesses, and vulnerable ecosystems. Meanwhile, toxic smoke has affected air quality as far away as New York City and Boston.
Unfortunately, we may only see more devastation this summer, as temperatures continue to climb and we set new highs for the hottest months on record.
The devastation and destruction of the climate crisis are not far-off future threats — they are already here. We are living the crisis, right now.
This is why we need a Green New Deal, a Civilian Climate Corps, and to rebuild and reimagine our nation’s crumbling infrastructure for a climate-safe future. It’s why we must put environmental justice, clean energy, and job creation at the center of our progressive agenda.
It’s also why we’re asking you today:
Add your name if you agree — we must tackle the threat of climate change head-on, with bold solutions that match the scale and urgency of this crisis. [[link removed]]
This generational challenge is going to require all of us standing together and fighting for a just and livable future. Fortunately, our movement for a Green New Deal and for climate justice is stronger than ever, and is growing each and every day.
Thank you for being a part of our fight.
In solidarity,
Team Markey
