Green New Deal movesnation off fossil fuels

We must eliminate dirty fuels. California produces and exports a huge amount of gasoline.

My family is terrified of climate change, and the ongoing fires, especially the Camp Fire, underscore the need for immediate action.

I support Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s plans for a resolution to create a House select committee for a Green New Deal in Congress.

Scientists from the United Nations have already said we have only 12 years (at most) to move off fossil fuels in order to avoid climate disaster. My feeling is that we should have already done this, instead of waiting until the last minute.

We need a Green New Deal to create millions of green jobs and move this country off fossil fuels.

We call upon our member of Congress, Barbara Lee, to get involved and assist in this process.
