Congress must pass a Green New Deal in order to transform our energy system to 100% renewable energy and create 20 million thriving wage, union jobs to transition the U.S. economy from dirty energy and boost our economy. The Green New Deal must prioritize communities disproportionately affected by climate change, including under-resourced groups, communities of color, indigenous, people with disabilities, children and the elderly. 

Because cars are one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts should heavily invest in infrastructure such as weatherization, high-speed rail, electrified public transit, and active transportation like E-bikes to help people get out of cars. The Green New Deal should also provide full, permanent and entitlement funding for water and sanitation infrastructure across the country, including Tribal lands and reservations.
