Today @JoeBiden takes big steps on #ClimateAction
✅Creating a National Climate Task Force
✅Setting clean procurement standards
✅Stopping new oil & gas leases on public lands
✅Calling for a Civilian Conservation Corps
✅Kicking off the Justice40 Initiative

This is a start!

Biden borrows from the best ideas out there--like from NY State's landmark climate law of 2019 that set a 40% EJ investment target. Don't forget that movements got us here and movements are what will push the Biden administration to do everything we need.

Stopping oil & gas lease sales on public lands will have a huge impact, including for communities defending their lands from fossil fuel extraction. It is the fights against pipelines like #KeystoneXL #DAPL and against fracking that have won this victory.

I am so excited about a new Civilian Conservation Corps! The CCC was a key program of the original New Deal. It could usher the #GreenNewDeal. I hope we focus on creating skilled jobs and training especially for Black, Indigenous, & People of Color youth.

Black, Indigenous, & communities of color have been sacrifice zones for fossil fuel pollution & extraction. Today's actions are a start. @joebiden needs to continue to show up for frontline communities. Here is what else he can do to #BuildBackFossilFree! buildbackfossilfree.org

Today's actions are the beginning of what we need to survive #ClimateCrisis. Time to keep fighting. "Dems have a majority in the House, Senate, & a President ready to take action. Now is the moment to deliver transformative change for the American people."
