Today, #OilMoneyMitch @senatemajldr brought the #GreenNewDeal to a vote in the Senate. Once more, McConnell prioritized his fossil fuel campaign donors over the American people--who overwhelmingly support the GND. @SenateDems showed him they weren’t falling for his tricks.
@senatemajldr @SenateDems The votes officially fell against the resolution because Democrats voted “present.” Both GND supporters and skeptics see that real leadership in 2019 means having a plan to protect life on Earth as we know it, not jamming through unfinished legislation to score political points.
.@AOC and @SenMarkey catalyzed the conversation about the catastrophic climate change and rising inequality that threaten all Americans. Now, thanks to our movement and our allies, a growing number of our country’s lawmakers are going on the offense for bold climate solutions.
@AOC @SenMarkey But today’s #GreenNewDeal vote also demonstrated just how far we still have to go. We need our politicians to take a firm stance against #BigOil and their allies. We need them to stand up for the health and wellbeing of our country and the planet at large.
@AOC @SenMarkey As part of our goal to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs, we’ve asked 2020 candidates to sign the #NoFossilFuelMoney pledge. So far @berniesanders, @ewarren, @SenGillibrand, @TulsiGabbard, @JayInslee, and @marwilliamson have all signed.
@AOC @SenMarkey @BernieSanders @ewarren @SenGillibrand @TulsiGabbard @JayInslee @marwilliamson We know the @GOP use the #GreenNewDeal and the #NoFossilFuelMoney pledge for political theater, but we won’t allow that to deter us from our mission. With all of the momentum behind the #GND now is the time to get involved and help make a real difference.
