Dear Members of Congress,

We are in the midst of a climate emergency and an affordable housing crisis.

The Green New Deal for Public Housing Act, introduced by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, presents a once in a generation opportunity to address both of these issues at once.

Safe and affordable homes are the foundation for prosperity. When we weatherize, electrify and modernize our public housing, it will serve as a model of efficiency, sustainability and resiliency for the rest of the country.

We are calling on you to cosponsor Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Green New Deal for Public Housing Act to guarantee quality, affordable housing and a stable climate for Americans.

Retrofitting these buildings will save money by boosting energy efficiency and improve the quality of life for residents. While we bail out banks, fight endless wars, and give massive subsidies to the oil and gas industry, hundreds of thousands of low-income Americans are living in public housing buildings that expose them to toxic, inhumane conditions.

In the richest country in the world, no one should have to choose between a home that is giving their kids asthma or cancer and no home at all.

We’re asking you to cosponsor this new Public Housing Bill and take the first step to begin the decade of the Green New Deal.
