It doesn’t matter if you’re working class or a billionaire: climate change will hurt your grandchildren.
That’s why I cannot understand oil executives who sacrifice the planet’s health for their short-term profits
We must transform our energy system away from fossil fuels NOW.

Renewable energy projects like this one in Humboldt County create union jobs, lower energy costs for Californians, and fight the harmful effects of climate change.

Progressives get steamrolled all the time in Congress. We are an outnumbered bloc, especially on matters of defense. Shouldn’t be hard.
They know this isn’t “lefty” opposition. It is BROAD opposition from the American people across the board. The numbers show that. That’s why they’re pushing it.
