[ [link removed] ]Labor Week with Team AOC



We’ve come a long way from 2017 when Alexandria first publicly referenced
something called "The Green New Deal" in a tweet that garnered 7 likes and
0 retweets.^1

Today, the Green New Deal has reshaped the national conversation around
climate change. Where reducing carbon emissions and creating jobs were
once seen as at odds, the GND promises to create millions of union jobs
while building the infrastructure our country will need for clean energy.
And first up for those jobs will be workers from traditional energy
sectors like coal and fracking — that’s what a just transition looks like.

a reality. Would you chip in $3 today to help us achieve a Green New
Deal?

Some of the largest unions in the country have backed the GND — from
Service Employees International Union (SEIU), to National Nurses United,
to the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (among many more!). The GND
enjoys support from working people everywhere, in part because renewable
energy could employ more than 40 million people by 2050.^2

The GND has done more than just reshape the conversation. In August, the
President signed into law the largest-ever investment in climate change.
The money will go towards creating 9 million new jobs in clean energy,
clean manufacturing, environmental protection and green transportation.
And this Spring, Congress passed millions in federal funding for 60 Green
New Deal certified community projects — all of which will create jobs
reducing carbon emissions and making our communities more resilient to
extreme weather.^3

[ [link removed] ]We’re making progress on the GND, but to stand up to fossil fuel
interests, and deliver for working people and our climate, we need your
help. Can you spare $3 today to keep Alexandria in
Congress, fighting for the workers of this country and their bid to
advance the Green New Deal?

It has been our pleasure to share the importance of our continued support
for the labor movement with you this week, and we’re not done yet! Stay
tuned for more union wins and explainers on how they make our vision for
socialism stronger.

In solidarity,

Team AOC
