Climate & Environmental Justice
For People and For Planet.
We don’t have time for half-measures. Tackling climate change requires more than protecting the environment, it requires protecting our health, our jobs, and our future. In Congress, I’ll support the Green New Deal as the floor, not the ceiling, and fight for bold, science-backed action to cut emissions, invest in renewable energy, and hold corporate polluters accountable.
The Basics
Climate change is already here, and science tells us we must act now. I’ll push for aggressive targets to slash emissions, transition rapidly to renewable energy, and hold the biggest corporate polluters accountable for the harm they’ve caused.
Communities living with dirty air, contaminated water, and climate disasters deserve more than broken promises. I’ll direct federal resources to the neighborhoods hit hardest by pollution and climate change, especially Black, Indigenous, and low-income communities who are too often left behind.
We can tackle climate change and grow our economy at the same time. I’ll fight for good union jobs, clean energy, and career pathways that support fossil fuel workers and communities through the transition with dignity, stability, and economic opportunity.
We need roads, energy grids, and water systems built for the climate realities we face now, not the world we lived in 50 years ago. I’ll push for federal investments in climate-resilient infrastructure that protects communities from floods, wildfires, and extreme weather.
FAQs
The Green New Deal is a plan to fight climate change and create millions of good jobs at the same time. It calls for investing in clean energy, updating our infrastructure, and making sure every community has clean air, safe water, and economic security. The idea is simple: protect the planet, grow the economy, and make sure no one is left behind.
The Green New Deal is a strong starting point, but science shows we need even bolder action to meet the urgency of the climate crisis. I’ll fight to strengthen it with stricter emission targets, faster renewable energy adoption, and stronger accountability for polluters.
Climate action is also an economic opportunity. By investing in clean energy, resilient infrastructure, and union jobs, we can create millions of good-paying careers while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. A just transition ensures workers and communities aren’t left behind in the process.
We can fund climate action by ending subsidies for fossil fuel corporations, closing loopholes that benefit polluters, and investing taxpayer dollars in clean energy, infrastructure, and innovation instead. Redirecting resources away from industries that harm our health and planet toward ones that build our future is both fiscally responsible and morally necessary.
It means prioritizing communities that have been hardest hit. Places where kids are growing up with asthma from polluted air, or where families don’t trust the water coming from their taps. Federal investments must be targeted to these frontline communities to repair past harms and ensure everyone has clean air, safe water, and a healthy environment.
