And that’s not all! Together, we’ve also introduced The BUILD Green Act, the National Climate Emergency Act, the Environmental Justice Mapping and Data Collection Act, the Climate Smart Ports Act, the Energy Resilient Communities Act, and the End Polluter Welfare Act.
And — this is only the beginning. As the Green New Deal family continues to grow, we want to hear from you. What else do you want to see as a part of the GND? Let us know ⬇️
