Help Justice Democrats force the DNC toward the Green New Deal

Just last week, the DNC killed the climate debate — officially siding with party insiders and fossil fuel executives over the Democratic base. But they couldn’t stop the climate movement.

We may not have won a climate debate yet, but thanks to the powerful voices of organizations like the Sunrise Movement and Justice Democrats, CNN agreed to host a seven hour long Climate Town Hall — the first of its kind.

This discussion couldn’t be more timely. Hurricane Dorian just devastated the Bahamas, with some estimating that as much as 70% of the island is flooded. This devastation isn’t just historic — it’s disproportionately impacting poorer communities and people who can’t get out of the way of these disasters.

We can’t just leave these communities behind to face the brunt of this climate catastrophe alone. We need a Green New Deal to revolutionize our energy grid, reach net zero emissions, and create millions of new jobs. Will you donate to help us elect a new generation of leaders who will pass a Green New Deal?

But the media needs to do more. These natural disasters are escalating because of climate change, but too few reporters and pundits are willing to make that connection clear to the public.

It doesn’t matter if the climate crisis is a politicized issue — we can’t afford to protect the feelings of conservatives and climate deniers in an era where we’re seeing record high temperatures, massive ice melts, and deadly natural disasters.

Whoever ends up winning the Democratic nomination, they’ll need a progressive majority in Congress who won’t accept half-measures or compromise with Armageddon. Will you donate $3 to help us elect those progressive leaders in 2020?

Solutions from the 1990s aren’t going to save our planet from catastrophe. Compromising with fossil fuel barons and corporate millionaires will only result in more displacement, more destruction, and more death.

We’ve already made history with this Climate Town Hall, but that can’t be the end. We have to confront the challenges of today with solutions that recognize the scale of the emergency we face. We must pass a Green New Deal.
