A few weeks ago, I joined youth activists in a specific demand for a Green New Deal Committee.
It had 3 simple elements:
1. No fossil fuel money on climate cmte
2. Offer solutions for impacted communities
3. Draft sample #GreenNewDeal
All 3 were rejected as “too controversial.”

In DC + even in our own party, it‘s apparently too controversial to ask that we keep oil+gas co’s away from enviro policy.
It’s too controversial to talk about the socioeconomics of Flint, WV, PR & the Bronx.
It’s too controversial to plan for disasters that are already here.

While I applaud the establishment of the Select Committee, without subpoena power or the reasonable requests stated, it will be in an even weaker position than the select climate committee of 10 years ago.

We must keep pushing on a #GreenNewDeal.
We simply don’t have any other choice. If it’s radical to propose a solution on the scale of the problem, so be it.
We’ve got a planet to save and there’s a whole lot of opportunity we can create in the process.
