Tell Congress: Support Sen Markey & Rep Ocasio-Cortez’s resolution for a Green New Deal


Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY 14) released their Resolution for the Green New Deal. This marks a huge step forward in the fight to stop the climate crisis and create millions of good jobs.

Today’s Resolution outlines exactly what we want to see in a Green New Deal: a plan to transition America to 100% renewable energy, a just transition for all communities and workers who have been impacted by climate change or depended on fossil fuels, and a job guarantee with a family-sustaining wage for everyone in our society.

The Green New Deal is the solution we need to fight the climate crisis, and now, it’s one of the most popular policy ideas in DC and across the county. But we can’t stop now - it’s time to put the pressure on every single elected official and demand that they support the Green New Deal.

Sign the petition calling on all members of Congress to support the Resolution for a Green New Deal.

The Green New Deal has made it to the halls of Congress because of grassroots support in every corner of the country. We still have a long road ahead to pass the bold policies we’ve been fighting for, and I can’t wait to see what we will do together.

The latest climate report from the UN says we have only 12 years to transform our economy to preserve the stable climate human civilization has depended on for millennia.

The Green New Deal is a 10-year plan to mobilize every aspect of American society toward 100% clean and renewable energy, guarantee a good job to all members of our society ready to be part of this transformation, and create economic prosperity for all.

81% of Americans support the Green New Deal. It’s time for our political leaders to find the courage to stand up to the oil and gas CEOs and lobbyists who bankroll both parties, and back a Green New Deal.

House and Senate leaders, please support Sen. Markey and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s resolution for a Green New Deal.
