About
We insist that politicians take action now to address climate change.
The Green New Deal is a 5-point plan to transition the US to a greener economy. Congress has not taken action on those bills when they have been introduced. We represent a coalition that pushes Congress to introduce and pass the Green New Deal and take action on the crisis of our lifetimes.
