Ask your Governor to take the Green New Deal Pledge

Elected officials at all levels must know that mothers support young people who are clamoring for their future. Our children's future is only possible if we stop climate change, and create good jobs for the next generation. The Green New Deal is more than legislation, it is a vision for our future. Calling your governor to ask them where they stand is one step you can take to make the Green New Deal a reality across the country.

After you make the call, please be sure to give us some details about how it went!

THE GREEN NEW DEAL PLEDGE
“The American people need a Green New Deal — as put forth by Senator Edward Markey and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, to stop climate change, achieve environmental sustainability,  create millions of good jobs, and realize economic prosperity for Americans.”    

I pledge that I will use my office to advance and champion in any and all legal ways including but  not limited to: signing bills, resolutions, or other legislation  advancing the Green New Deal at the federal state or local level; voting in favor of such bills and  resolutions in committees, subcommittees, or floor votes; working to build support amongst my colleagues for a Green New Deal at all levels of  government; and publicly advocating for the  necessity of a Green New Deal.”
