Environmental Justice - Climate change and inequality are the two great moral crises of our time. Low-income communities of color, who do not have money and power to fall back on in a disaster, are already hit the hardest. We're fighting for bold, transformational change at the scale of the crisis, not the inadequate baby steps that politicians and corporation like to brag about. Our challenge is moving rapidly to 100% renewable energy while creating good union jobs, especially for low-income communities of color. That's how we save our future from climate change while fighting inequality.
