The greatest challenge facing our country and the world is the climate crisis. The effects of climate disasters are compounded by already existing inequalities of class and race. Frankly, the continuity of the species depends on whether or not we transition from a carbon-dependent economy to one which is powered by green technologies and green jobs. If there is a future, it is a green future. We cannot hesitate and we cannot let big-oil, big-business, and the 1% decide our fates for us.
To tackle climate change we need to enact these bold policies now:
- Green New Deal and the Thrive Act.
- Establish a civilian climate corps to provide good-paying jobs, build the robust no-carbon infrastructure we need to combat climate change.
- Crackdown on corporations that heedlessly pollute our communities.
- Ensure that every community has clean water, access to food, and clean air.
