Proud to support the #CaseForClimateAction — the product of over a year’s worth of work by @SenDemsClimate uncovering how Americans are experiencing the climate crisis & charting a path toward big, bold solutions. Let me tell you why (THREAD)
JOBS: We don't have to choose between good jobs and a clean environment. The @SenateDemsClimate plan makes clear that any climate action MUST also promote the right to organize, better wages and higher labor standards.
HEALTH: The health of our children and our communities depends on commitment to invest in meaningful climate action now. We can save lives and make Americans healthier by addressing air quality, heat exposure, vector-borne and infectious diseases, access to safe water and more.
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE: This plan commits to engaging with and investing in frontline communities—who have historically suffered disproportionately from the effects of climate change and environmental degradation—in order to achieve equal protections and an equal voice for all.
AGRICULTURE: Ag is PA’s top industry. This plan recognizes that not only are our farmers impacted by climate change, they can and must be part of the solution. Practices that support soil carbon sequestration and reduce greenhouse emissions are good for our farmers’ bottom lines.
INTERNATIONAL: The United States must return as a leader in the global effort to address the climate crisis. To protect future generations and rebuild American global leadership, the United States must help lead the global response to climate change
