A New Deal Today For A New Tomorrow
The Green New Deal will allow the US to turn the climate crisis into opportunities to uplift every American community, ensuring public jobs, health, and safety.
“A Green New Deal is a big, bold transformation of the economy to tackle the twin crises of inequality and climate change. It would mobilize vast public resources to help us transition from an economy built on exploitation and fossil fuels to one driven by dignified work and clean energy. The status quo economy leaves millions behind. While padding the pockets of corporate polluters and billionaires, it exposes working class families, communities of color, and others to stagnant wages, toxic pollution, and dead-end jobs.”
