Thank you,State Senator-elect Jo Comerford!I'm putting together my legislative agenda for the upcoming session and digging in deeply around environmental justice, in partnership with allies near and far. A win for the environment is a win for good jobs. A win for local economies. A win for our future.

h/t Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for powering this through at the national level. ... See MoreSee Less

IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
Here is the text of the petition by Sunrise Movement and JusticeDemocrats:
"We have 12 years to transform our economy and society to stop climate change. Democrats must put forward a plan to protect our planet, our communities, and our economy. Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leaders in Congress have the power to create one.

But recent developments show the Democratic Party leadership has no intention of fighting for a real climate plan in the new Congress. With the UN’s recent climate report, the Democratic Party leadership’s position is tantamount to climate denial. The science is undisputed, we have the technology, and the public is overwhelmingly on the side of bold action on climate and jobs -- the only thing standing in the way of a livable future is the failure of political leadership.

Add your voice to ours. Tell Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Leadership:

1. Champion a Green New Deal that would create millions of good jobs to transform society over the next decade to stop climate change. This means creating a committee tasked specifically to write policy on creating jobs and moving our country off fossil fuels over the designated 12 years that the IPCC has given us. Let’s protect the lives of all working people -- black, brown, and white -- from the ravages of disaster and pollution.

2. Mandate that any Democrat in leadership must take the No Fossil Fuel Money pledge and reject campaign contributions from fossil fuel executives and lobbyists and prioritize the health of people and planet over industry profits. Oil and gas executives profit off a business model that's incompatible with the future of human civilization. It's time for the Democratic Party to reject their influence wholesale.

A rising generation of young people of all backgrounds just helped flip the House with a record turnout. We will no longer tolerate empty promises and words without action. We’re not expecting miracles -- we understand that the GOP is corrupted by dirty oil money and will stall us at every turn. We know that sweeping change isn’t possible until Trump is gone -- but we need to start laying the groundwork and put forward our vision for America now.

We’re asking Democrats to step up to the fight alongside us. And if they are unwilling, they should step aside and make way for new leadership that will." ... See MoreSee Less

I don't think we can afford this division at this time. Discussion yes. We must stand untied to face down Fascism.

Seems like it's more of a push than division. Good explanation here www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2018/11/14/18094452/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-nancy-pelosi-prot...

The urgency is realOur generation just helped flip the House with a record turnout in support of progressive candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib For Congress (who stopped by our training tonight!).

Please come and join the discussion.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Carbon Pollution Pricing Group
Tuesday Morning Nov 13 at 9 am at Panera in Hadley

Over the last few months, things have come together that have increased our likelihood of passing carbon pollution pricing this term.
--- Mass Power Forward has established Carbon Pollution Pricing (CPP) as one of the three top priorities for next session
--- The Speaker has continued to show interest in CPP
--- More groups and individuals have signed on to work on passing CPP

However, it still will not be easy and will require significant coordinated effort and more groups and individuals to participate.

Our main two grassroots tasks through early February are:
1) to secure new house co-signers, primarily through setting up constituent meetings in districts where we believe representatives are not on-board but are more inclined to support
2) to confirm support and to develop champions from our supporters from last session ... See MoreSee Less
