Preserving Our Environment

Protecting Our Environment and Leading on Climate

Championing the Green New Deal: The climate crisis is the greatest existential threat of our time, but it is also our greatest economic opportunity. We must aggressively back the Green New Deal to transition our country to 100% clean, renewable energy. This isn't just a climate plan; it's a massive infrastructure and jobs initiative. By investing in green technology, we can create millions of high-paying, union jobs right here at home and rebuild our middle class while saving our environment.

Restoring America's Global Climate Leadership: We cannot afford to bury our heads in the sand while the rest of the world moves forward. We must aggressively recommit to our international climate agreements and lead the global coalition to lower carbon emissions. Retreating from the world stage endangers our national security and our economy. America must be the leader in the global green energy transition, not a bystander. We need to pass a Green New Deal — it will provide good jobs, infrastructure, and environmental justice.

Eradicating PFAS and Corporate Pollutants: No parent should have to worry that the water coming out of their kitchen sink is going to poison their child. Corporate polluters have been recklessly dumping PFAS forever chemicals into our waterways for decades. We must enact zero-tolerance, federal bans on these toxic chemicals, force the corporations responsible to pay for the massive cleanup, and upgrade our public water infrastructure so every community has access to safe, clean drinking water.
