• We need a Green New Deal and major new green investments.
• It’s time to create a new green economy. It’s our only path forward.
• The U.S. must lead the world in clean energy adoption.

Climate change is real, our planet is on fire, and we must act. Now. 

 That seems like common knowledge, but half of our country’s political structure still refutes that simple truth. And worse, refuses to act on it. 

 With so much at stake, when the Green New Deal was introduced, I was an original co-sponsor. And I want to tell you why.

 The Green New Deal is not just a bold plan for addressing climate change and beginning to right the ship, it also is an urgent call to invest in growing a modern, green economy that is equitable and just for all.
