For too long, legislative action has failed to live up to the scale of the climate crisis. Not anymore.

Representative Ocasio-Cortez, Senator Markey, and the grassroots leaders whose shoulders they stand on are working to change that. We need real climate leadership — and bold policies that address climate change as an issue that is deeply rooted in health, prosperity, and justice for communities everywhere.

The Green New Deal is a critical opportunity to stand up to fossil fuel billionaires while kickstarting a just transition to renewable energy and creating millions of family-sustaining jobs.

With the window for action to prevent catastrophic climate change quickly closing, it’s time for elected officials at all levels to support this visionary effort to secure a sustainable future.
