Mike Thompson: Back the Green New Deal!

Start: Thursday, February 07, 2019 2:30 PM

End: Thursday, February 07, 2019 3:30 PM

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.

That’s why on Thursday February 7 at 2:30 PM, we’re joining a national day of action and bringing the call for real climate leadership to Congressman Mike Thompson’s doorstep. (Representative Thompson of Sonoma County has not yet committed to a Green New Deal.) 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’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.

Please remember that your bags will be searched etc. as you enter the building.

We’ll gather in front of the office on Thursday, February 7, at 2:30 PM. We’ll hear from local climate justice leaders, sign petitions, then deliver the petitions calling on Congressman Thompson to step up and be the real climate leader we need.
