1⃣ His consistency.
Bernie has been calling the climate crisis “the most important issue facing civilization” since the 1980s, and he’s stood alongside movements fighting it since then, too.

2⃣ His responsiveness to social movements and new information.
Bernie has always prioritized climate. But in response to increased scientific warnings & pressure from social movements, Bernie leaned fully into the biggest, boldest Green New Deal platform that we've seen.

3⃣ His political courage.
More than any other candidate, the positions Bernie's taken draw from deep moral convictions promoted over decades of his career. From his days as a civil rights activist to standing with the Standing Rock Sioux, Bernie shows up time and time again.

4⃣His holistic vision of the future.
Through his stances on immigration, healthcare, racial justice, inequality, environmental justice, democracy, and more, Bernie has shown that he understands the interconnectedness of climate solutions with addressing other social issues.

5⃣His commitment to building a cross-class, multi-racial movement.
The transformative change we seek requires taking on the world’s most powerful, moneyed interests. Bernie calls himself "organizer-in-chief" b/c he knows we need nothing short of a political revolution to win.
