Wildfires are raging in California, threatening the people and the places we love. Fires like these will only get worse and more frequent as the climate crisis continues, and this is a future we will not accept. @SpeakerPelosi will you stand with us and fight for a #GreenNewDeal?

We are demanding that Democratic leadership – especially California’s own representatives @SpeakerPelosi and @SenFeinstein immediately back the #GreenNewDeal. Anything less is a death sentence for Californians.
