John,

Climate change is no longer viewed as just an environmental issue; it
threatens public health, the economy, and our future. The climate crisis
is changing the way we think and the way we vote. 

According to a [ [link removed] ]2020 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, more
than two-thirds of Americans think the government should do more on
climate. Since then, not much progress has been made. But why? 

Political divides in our country hold us back from working together to
find policy solutions. Politics and power distract us from getting to the
heart of what really needs to be done. 

One thing is clear: finding common ground doesn’t mean that we need to
compromise our values. That’s why we’re working to bring people together
to move common-sense climate solutions forward. 

Last month, Green For All — along with our partners — brought together
state legislators in the South who modeled true common ground leadership.
80 state and local leaders from across the South gathered in Atlanta for
the first-annual [ [link removed] ]Southern Regional Environmental Legislators
Conference. Over 2 days, Republicans and Democrats came together to talk
about policy solutions that can build a green economy that uplifts
everyone in the South.

“​​We can fight pollution and poverty at the same time by creating green
jobs, and getting them to people who need work,” said Van Jones, Founder
of Dream Corps. [ [link removed] ]His opening remarks encouraged legislators to engage in
common sense grassroots organizing to achieve shared goals. “Top-down
bipartisanship often does not work. But bottom-up bipartisanship…I think
can solve almost any problem.”

“At a time when division and difference dominate policy conversations, we
brought leaders together to find common ground on climate,” stated CeCe
Grant, Common Ground Campaign Director at Dream Corps Green For All.
“Without real collaboration across the aisle, we will fail to move forward
on solutions that benefit communities hurt first and worst by the climate
crisis.”
