We need to take action on climate change now.
Extreme winter weather is again hitting communities across the country not prepared for freezing temperatures, ice, and snow. Last summer, historic high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest caused roads to buckle under the stress of the heat. These historic weather events are getting worse and more frequent.
To address the ever more frequent and serious climate disasters, Pramila is fighting for frontline communities and climate resiliency. Two weeks ago, she introduced the Climate Resilience Workforce Act. In response to massive, expensive efforts to clean up and rebuild damaged homes and infrastructure, Pramila’s bill would invest in a skilled workforce capable of responding to and preparing for the destructive impacts of climate change.
But we know this is an uphill battle. Fossil fuel companies, their lobbyists, and their corporate PACs don’t want to see investments in fighting climate change. The GOP doesn’t even want to acknowledge that climate change exists. If we’re going to pass any legislation to address the climate crisis it’s going to take a major fight.
Disaster recovery work is a multi-billion dollar industry, and it's often dangerous. Yet the workers on the frontlines often lack basic protections. If we create millions of good-paying, union jobs and center the very communities disproportionately impacted by climate disaster, we can finally build back better, greener, and stronger.
In solidarity,
Team Jayapal
