With
@AOC's#GreenNewDeal, we can turn the crisis of fast-approaching climate catastrophe into an opportunity to make the economy more fair and just — by putting people to work speeding the transition to a fossil fuel-free economy. It’s 2019. We can’t wait. -
A few social media ideas for public servants looking to build an audience: - Endorse Single-Payer Medicare for All - Hold Wall Street Accountable - Make Min Wage = Living Wage - Cancel Puerto Rican Debt - End For-Profit Prisons & ICE Detention - Fight for a

To all those saying we “haven’t accomplished anything,” here’s *some* of 2018: 1. Won primary while outspent 10-1 2. Pushed
#GreenNewDeal to natl convo 3. Shone new lvl transparency to gov ...all before swearing in. Admit you hold us to a higher standard than others & move on. -
A few weeks ago, I joined youth activists in a specific demand for a Green New Deal Committee. It had 3 simple elements: 1. No fossil fuel money on climate cmte 2. Offer solutions for impacted communities 3. Draft sample

Few rookie members of Congress have put such bold ideas on the national agenda and stirred up as much controversy as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who supports a
#GreenNewDeal and says, “only radicals have changed this country.” https://cbsn.ws/2CO4UdY pic.twitter.com/KihXYpC6eS -
We must keep pushing on a
#GreenNewDeal. We simply don’t have any other choice. If it’s radical to propose a solution on the scale of the problem, so be it. We’ve got a planet to save and there’s a whole lot of opportunity we can create in the process.Show this thread -
Dear Speaker
@NancyPelosi, I proudly supported your Speakership because you promised to deliver bold solutions to our biggest problems. There is no problem bigger than climate change & no solution bolder than the#GreenNewDeal. Please make me proud. Sincerely, Ady https://twitter.com/sunrisemvmt/status/1078740557046927362 …

.@Ocasio2018’s
#GreenNewDeal has redefined what’s politically possible. Two years ago, Obama wouldn’t even try for a carbon tax. Now, the #2 Senate Republican is advocating for it as an alternative to the GND. Bold progressivism shifts the goalposts. Democrats, take notes. pic.twitter.com/SUY2X3qQtE

Wow. 39 anti Sanders tweets today. 41 yesterday. 56 two days ago. It’s almost as if you are being paid or something. Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you the Third Way strategy! Hell bent on keeping you from affordable health care, higher education and a

It means so much that one of the first bills we’re cosponsoring in Congress,
#PAYGO repeal, is with my fellow sisters in service@AyannaPressley,@RashidaTlaib,@IlhanMN & more! Also, shout out to@JoeNeguse of CO - he was down for#GreenNewDeal on Day 1 + now PAYGO repeal too! https://twitter.com/reppressley/status/1081397587876421633 … -
Very proud of the young people across the country organizing
#GreenNewDeal direct actions on their own. They will not be placated with ceremonial gestures. They want change. Until we get fossil fuel money out of climate policy, we won’t be able to save the planet or ourselves. https://twitter.com/israhirsi/status/1079598327321292800 …

An interesting thing: in most of the reporting on a
#GreenNewDeal, there’s been no mention that Sanders & Boxer introduced a concrete legislative proposal for a#GreenNewDeal six years ago. It was a gutsy move — no other Dems had the guts to co-sponsor it. https://www.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/senate-bill/332 … -
When discussing climate change in her speech earlier, @NancyPelosi said: "The people are ahead of the Congress. The Congress must join them." Speaker Pelosi: The American people are also ahead of Congress on the

The bare minimum every 2020 candidate needs to meet:

2020 contenders are already trying to line up behind a

100% clean energy by 2030
Invest in communities on the frontlines of poverty & pollution

In order for
#PayGo to go into effect, it needs to pass the House. If some 18 Dems vote no, it fails. The vote will take place on Thursday. Will enough progressives have the courage to vote no on the first roadblock to#MedicareForAll,#GreenNewDeal &#CollegeForAll? Let's see.https://twitter.com/ddayen/status/1080291053930856448 …

Grim indeed. Yet our politicians argue (while we sink on the EU Titanic). The prospect of a Global Titanic is infinitely worse.

As it turns out, to get nice things like a
#GreenNewDeal, Medicare for All, or Social Security expansion, we need to invest serious money.#PayGo severely limits Congress's ability to move forward these crucial programs. Thank you,@RepRoKhanna for being outspoken NO on PAY-GO.
