ACTION: WE DESERVE A GOVERNMENT THAT BELIEVES IN CLIMATE CRISIS AND SCIENCE

 

WE DESERVE A GOVERNMENT THAT BELIEVES IN CLIMATE CRISIS AND SCIENCE

caely.barrett@gmail.com

Background

We deserve to have clean air, healthcare, and jobs.  We need a President who believes in the climate crisis, science, and healthcare.

Instead of protecting the air we breathe, Trump and his GOP help corporations profit from damaging our climate. We are living this horrific reality as fires burn in Oregon. 

Instead of protecting us from COVID, Trump and his GOP sacrifice our health for their donors’ pockets when they block the COVID help we need in the HEROES Act.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are working to help our communities by focusing on what matters with plans to address climate change and COVID.

Joe and Kamala climate plan makes sure 40% of the overall benefits of spending on clean-energy and infrastructure upgrades go to environmental justice communities. 

Joe and Kamala will address COVID on day one: improve testing, increase protective equipment, and help our schools. Their stimulus plan to help us out of the COVID economy includes climate plan and green jobs. 

Insist that Congress to help us. Work to make a Biden/Harris administration a reality.

  • Call on Democrats to use their leverage with must-pass spending bills to pass the HEROES Act
