Lead in the water, toxins in the ground, pollution in the air . . . these deadly features haunt America’s cities, and disproportionately endanger people of color. Children are especially vulnerable.

But here’s the good news: collectively, we know how to tackle these problems and make our communities healthy and safe for families. With an infusion of funds, cities with the will to thrive can improve community health while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. And that is exactly why we need the Green New Deal for Cities Act of 2021

The bill, introduced by climate hawks Rep. Cori Bush and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, invests $1 trillion into helping cities reduce emissions, tackle environmental injustice, and adapt to climate change impacts.
