While the clean-energy investments and jobs in President Biden's infrastructure plan are a step in the right direction, the Green New Deal is the gold standard in fighting both climate change and economic injustice.
AOC and Senator Markey know our planet depends on it. That is why they have re-introduced the Green New Deal.
"For so long, our movement towards a sustainable future has been divided with really just this false notion that we have to choose between our planet and our economy," says AOC. "We decided to come together in sweeping legislation that not only rejects that notion, but creates a plan for 20 million union jobs in the United States of America."
Dems in Congress need to hear that while steps in the right direction are good, voters know much more is needed -- and demand the political will to get it done.

"I support a Green New Deal to tackle the climate crisis with the urgency we need -- while creating millions of clean-energy jobs in our economy."
We'll share your support for a real Green New Deal with our allies in Congress so they can use it as they build support.
