WASHINGTON, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Youth-run environmental groups are gearing up to pressure Democratic U.S. Congress members to retool their $3.5 trillion spending package to fund more programs battling climate change.
In 2020, Democratic candidates courted young members of the groups, including Sunrise Movement and Zero Hour. Many of the members are now smarting because they believe President Joe Biden gave up too much of the climate change fight in his deal with Republicans on infrastructure.
"Progressives need to hold the line against moderate compromises that won't do enough to stop climate change," said Zanagee Artis, co-founder of Zero Hour, one of several youth-led climate groups that assembled armies of young canvassers to support electing Democrats.
Climate activists were further disheartened after the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report on Monday that warned global warming is close to getting out of control.
"Three point five trillion dollars is not enough to stop the climate crisis," said Ellen Sciales, press secretary of Sunrise Movement.
"If Biden wants to be a world leader on climate, he'll heed this call and pass the boldest reconciliation bill possible."

Because I care SO much what “youth” “groups” think. *Cough astroturf*
The weather and controlling it is God's work.
When all this climate change cr** began with Gorey, I remember Hillary saying that the “propaganda” (my word) was aimed at children and future voters. It sure worked. Children are convinced that man is a culprit. Of course, they have food on the table from them farting cattle, drive in cars with gas in the tank....etc ect.
I did not know that Progressives had children.
Unfortunately, they do. And they occupy places of Power in Governments when they reach the required age.
please please please destroy our liberty and quality of life
“Youth” are not running these groups!!! Come on!
These people that say these stupid things do NOT comprehend how much money a trillion dollars is. It’s the same as a bajillion to them and it’s never enough.
