John,
It's incredible to think how far we've come in the past 10 years — from
climate justice being treated as a niche issue in politics to millions of
people marching worldwide in the global Climate Strikes. In the years
ahead, we need an ally in the White House who works at the scale of the
crisis — someone who is willing to fight for the end of the fossil fuel
industry.
Presidential candidates are making history with bold climate agendas.
Warren and Sanders have released robust climate justice plans that take
into account the need to address environmental racism head-on. But of the
candidate leading national polls, Joe Biden is lagging behind the pack
with potentially dire consequences.
[ [link removed] ]It’s time to hold Vice President Biden to a higher standard — sign this
petition urging Biden to show real climate leadership.
In the last decade, Biden supported regressive Obama-era energy policies
like promoting fracking, nuclear expansion and oil leases on public lands.
And so far in this election, there’s little indication that he’s
meaningfully evolved on climate justice issues.
Biden’s policies don’t reflect a sense of urgency around solving the
climate crisis or an understanding of how environmental racism affects
frontline communities. On the campaign trail, he’s rubbed shoulders with
fossil fuel lobbyists and attended fundraisers hosted by fossil fuel
company founders. So it’s no surprise that Biden hasn’t made a public
commitment to hold fossil fuel industry executives accountable for the
climate crisis.
We deserve better. We need to see Biden commit to end fracking, oppose new
fossil fuel infrastructure, hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for
the crisis, and advance a robust plan for climate justice.
[ [link removed] ]Take two minutes today to sign this petition to demand that Joe Biden
fight for the future we deserve. Let’s hold Vice President Biden and all
candidates to a higher standard.
Until we win,
Clarissa
