As presidential hopefuls begin to announce their candidacies and our new Congress works to define their priorities, this is a key moment to keep up the pressure for real climate leadership and a Green New Deal. We've already seen the power of activists mobilizing in the halls of Congress to change the future of climate politics and make the Green New Deal a possibility. Let’s keep it up.

That's why on February 6, we're joining a national day of action and bringing the call for real climate leadership to Representative and Democratic Majority Whip Clyburn's doorstep. We will ramp up our call for a Green New Deal by publicly calling on our elected leaders to commit to a just and equitable transition to a world free from fossil fuels, support green jobs, reject fossil fuel money, and endorse a Green New Deal.

We'll gather in front of Rep. Clyburn's Columbia office at 11am, and head inside as a group to meet with his district staff. Together, we'll tell them why the Green New Deal matters to us, and how he can help advance the goals of climate action, a federal jobs guarantee and reparations for the climate crisis and racial justice.
