Join PDA Acting On Climate

Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) welcomed Climate Champion Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to Denver, Colorado last week.“PDA has been a tremendous partner on spreading the word on these important issues,” she told PDA activists and our allies advocating for her legislation, the OFF Fossil Fuels for a Healthy Future Act (HR 3671).

Tulsi urged us to continue to “move with a purpose” as we focus on core issues like the climate emergency, immigration, peace, and healthcare as a human right. “Energy coming from organizations like yours calling their Congressional members and asking them to cosponsor the OFF Act or other legislation makes a big difference,” she explained.

Please Tell Your Representative to Cosponsor the OFF Act

PDA is focusing on key campaigns to make the maximize our effectiveness: “Healthcare Not Warfare”. ”Windmills Not Weapons”, “Justice Or Bust”—along with helping our endorsed progressive candidates win primaries and elections. We’re advocating for healthcare as a human right, stopping global warming, promoting peace and justice, as well as helping to elect leaders who are committed to prevail on these critically important issues—and we have done so since our founding in 2004.

No crisis is more serious than climate change. The science is clear. The need to address the climate emergency is clear. We cannot delay. We cannot keep pouring tons of warming pollution into our atmosphere. Scientists predict more massive and more deadly storms this hurricane season as just one of the dire consequences of global warming. The window to act is closing. We must make up for lost time by getting off fossil fuels rapidly. We must act decisively now to end our deadly addiction to fossil fuels.

We agree with Tulsi when she says, “Twenty-first century problems demand twenty-first century solutions. By investing in green technologies and ending corporate hand outs to the fossil fuel industry, we can grow the economy, create jobs, and protect our environment. The promise of a clean energy economy is one of skilled, good-paying jobs, advanced and sustainable infrastructure, and clean and safe neighborhoods.”

PDA activists joined other environmentalists pushing for the strongest possible Climate planks in the 2016 Democratic Party Platform—solutions that would modernize and clean up our energy sector while creating countless sustainable, living wage jobs. We were instrumental in the drafting of the OFF Act, working with lead sponsor Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. When the OFF Act becomes law, we will aggressively move toward 100 percent renewable energy sources by 2035.
