| This isn't fine: That's San Francisco's iconic Golden Gate Bridge, under a bright-orange sky, with fires all around it. It's not a scene from a Roland Emmerich movie―that's real life. The Climate Crisis is here. We needed a Green New Deal 10 years ago―it is incumbent that our politicians act NOW! People who say that the Green New Deal is "too expensive" aren't thinking big enough. Extreme weather has already cost our country billions this year, and the recovery from these fires will cost billions more. The cost of doing nothing is far higher than even the most expansive Green New Deal. We are going to need to rebuild America's economy after the pandemic, just as we did after the Great Depression. A New Deal-sized investment will be necessary. But instead of bailing out oil companies and banks, let's invest in fixing the planet we all have to live on! SIGN NOW: We need a Green New Deal! We all need a planet that we can live safely on―even people who throw gender reveal parties. Thanks, Mike Phelan Progress America |
