John,
At the latest Presidential debate, a whopping *zero* questions were asked about the climate crisis.
This is unacceptable. The climate crisis is the defining issue of our times — and voters deserve the opportunity to learn about candidates’ climate plans in depth. With just a decade left to drastically slash emissions and avert the worst of the climate crisis, climate has to be front and center in this election.
The presidential debates are important opportunities for everyday voters to learn more about the candidates. They also create opportunities for our movement to push the envelope on climate action and pressure our candidates to develop even better policies.
Many of the candidates running in this election have already released thorough climate plans — and we need more opportunities to compare them side-by-side in the public eye so that all voters can be informed about the challenges of the climate crisis and the opportunities to implement just and equitable solutions.
We only have until the day after tomorrow to make our voices heard, so act now.
Add your name here to help pressure MSNBC to give the climate crisis the attention it deserves.
With your help, we can ensure that candidates are asked to tell the American people their plans not just to deeply reduce carbon emissions, but to create millions of good union jobs, and strengthen low-income communities and communities of color facing the worst effects of the climate crisis.
Let’s do this,
Clarissa
