Natural disasters reveal how brutal & inhumane our system of inequality is.
No one should be left to fend for themselves in a natural disaster. This is why we insist on justice in climate policy. In a modern society, equity is as important as technology.
We must modernize.

The crisis in Texas right now is not an accident.
This is the result of energy policy that puts corporate profits over human life — and we’re going to end that reckless greed with a Green New Deal and transformative energy policy.
