Here's something you might not have realized: there's a really important #climate bill wrapped inside of the #COVIDrelief package. @sarahkaplan48 lays it out, from clean energy subsidies to the phase down of refrigerants that are warming the planet: washingtonpost.com/climate-s…
NEW: a big win in our fight against the climate crisis! The U.S. will phase down the use of a potent pollutant: hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs. Included in the annual spending deal is a provision to reduce HFCs by 85% in the next 15 years, which will help reduce global warming.
For too long, important voices haven’t had a seat at the table when discussing climate.
Our #CaseForClimateAction prioritizes environmental justice, detailing how we can protect & invest in the low income communities & communities of color most vulnerable to a changing climate.

Too much of the climate movement of the past was about what climate change is doing to us—not about what climate action will do for us.

If we are going to address climate chaos and bring environmental justice to marginalized communities, we have to address the fossil fuel industry pumping dark money into our elections. Our plan acknowledges this reality:

Democrats are united and ready to roll on climate.

Too often, we talk about what climate change is doing to us — and not enough about what climate action can do *for* us.
Acting on climate now means improved quality of life, more fairness & new jobs.

For more than a year, we've been uncovering how Americans are experiencing the climate crisis & charting a path toward big, bold solutions.
Our #CaseForClimateAction report documents our findings. Here’s a #thread of the key takeaways, chapter by chapter. democrats.senate.gov/climate…
America has the chance to again be the powerhouse of global innovation as we work to solve the crisis.
To do this, the federal government needs to increase R&D funding & tax incentives to spur the technological improvements and innovation needed to combat the climate crisis.
