Our Vision

The climate crisis is the greatest challenge of our time—and our greatest opportunity. Scientists have been warning us that mankind has been driving rapid climate change for 70 years. The best time to deal with it was decades ago, the second best is right now. A Green New Deal means confronting climate change while rebuilding the middle class, lowering costs for families, and creating millions of good‑paying jobs. Just as FDR’s New Deal helped propel the USA out of the Great Depression, passing a Green New Deal means we can protect our planet and deliver real economic security at the same time.

Climate Action That Works

• Commit to achieving net-zero emissions before it is too late to stop climate change.

• Invest in climate resilience to protect communities from wildfires, floods, heat waves, and extreme storms.

• End fossil fuel subsidies and hold major polluters accountable.

Jobs, Wages, and a Strong Middle Class

• Create millions of new union, family‑wage jobs through clean energy and infrastructure investment.

• Provide job training and transition support for workers and communities currently dependent on fossil fuels—no one is left behind.

Clean, Affordable Energy

• Rapidly expand renewable energy including wind, solar, geothermal, and next‑generation nuclear.

• Modernize the electric grid to be reliable, resilient, and affordable. We are facing more extreme weather every year and millions lose power. During extreme weather, that is sometimes deadly. By creating a resilient grid, we can protect millions of Americans during extreme weather.

• Lower energy bills through efficiency upgrades, weatherization, and community‑owned power.

Housing, Transportation, and Healthy Communities

• Build and retrofit affordable, energy‑efficient housing.

• Invest in public transit, rail, and walkable communities to cut pollution and commuting costs. We are a large nation, and yet our railways are few and aging. We need high speed, interstate passenger trains.

• Clean up toxic sites and legacy pollution, prioritizing vulnerable communities.

Environmental Justice and Public Health

• Put environmental justice at the center of climate policy.

• Direct investments to low‑income communities, rural areas, tribes, and communities of color most effected by climate change.

American Innovation and Leadership

• Rebuild American manufacturing with clean technology made in the USA through subsidies to compete with Chinese manufacturing.

• Invest in research, education, and workforce development.

• Strengthen domestic supply chains and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

How We Pay for It

• Make the wealthiest corporations and individuals pay their fair share.

• End fossil fuel giveaways and reinvest in people and communities.

• Recognize that the cost of inaction is far greater than the cost of bold action.
