John, this is the frightening report from the Wall Street Journal yesterday about Senate Democrats blocking climate action:
"It renders the US really unable to deal in its entirety with the problem of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it puts the US into a spot of focusing much more on what it’s dubbed resilience, basically just learning to live with it."
U.S. policy on climate change CANNOT be 'let’s figure out how to live with it.' As temperatures rise, extreme weather events become more common, the seas rise, and ice caps melt. We can't live with this. We must take action.
Climate action is a central part of the Democratic agenda. If Democrats can’t pass it, the party needs to change. The status quo isn’t working and it hasn’t been working for a long time.
The progressive bloc of Justice Democrats in Congress have been fighting to protect climate policies in the Build Back Better Act. It’s the first time in a long time that progressives are using their power to shape policy. But we need more Justice Democrats in Congress to upend the Democratic establishment and pass transformative policies.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
