For the past few years we’ve fought tooth and nail to make the climate crisis the top issue in American politics. We’ve done that by tying our survival as a species to a pivotal massive transformation of our entire economy to create millions of good-paying union jobs. Now, it’s our duty to follow through on that bold vision by making core tenets of the Green New Deal a reality.

Today, we celebrate and take a breath. Tomorrow, we start holding Biden’s feet to the fire in a nation-wide Day of Action to let him, Congress, and the whole country know: no compromise and excuses when it comes to addressing the crises we face.
