Today, @CALPIRG students flooded the Capitol to urge our colleagues to acknowledge California’s #ClimateEmergency and demand aggressive action towards 100% clean energy and carbon neutrality. We’re fired up...if you couldn’t tell.

2018 IPCC report, p. 61: "Every year's delay before initiating emissions reductions decreases by approximately two years the remaining time available to reach zero emissions on a pathway still remaining below 1.5C"
Young people are overwhelmingly #students. The timeline of #climatechange puts most of us on the frontlines of the #climatecrisis. Yesterday's exchange with @SenFeinstein exemplifies why decision-makers should listen to #youth. @sunrisemvmt newyorker.com/news/daily-com…

BREAKING: Following this morning's rally of over 100 people, 15 youth met with @SenFeinstein urging her to support @AOC's resolution for a #GreenNewDeal. Her response was deeply disappointing. Read our full statement here:

We have over 100 people here on a Friday morning urging @SenFeinstein to support a #GreenNewDeal. We have just 12 years to address the climate crisis. It’s time to step up. #NoExcuses
CSSC retweeted
Sen. Feinstein still doesn't know where she stands on the #GreenNewDeal, but the young people who turned up at her office today sure do! 📣📣📣
Luckily, we're having a Town Hall meeting for her on 3/3! @SenFeinstein, we'd love to hear what your plan is! bit.ly/2T6Koyp

The #GreenNewDeal resolution introduced by @AOC is backed by 95 members of Congress, but not our own Sen Feinstein!
Come to a Phone Blitz in Oakland or SF, Thurs, 7:30 PM to call & tweet @SenFeinstein, urging her to support a Green New Deal!

On Thursday, February 21 at 4 PM, we will be paying @SenFeinstein’s LA office a SECOND visit to ask her to cosponsor the #GreenNewDeal Resolution jointly introduced by @RepAOC and @SenMarkey.

“Climate change isn’t just going to threaten our communities — it’s also going to test our solidarity, it’s going to test how we build relationships with each other,” @yeampierre says. “So I think the #GreenNewDeal can be used as an opportunity....”

BREAKING: 54 @Yale students & New Haven residents are occupying the Yale Investments Office to demand climate justice: We’re calling on CIO Swensen & President Salovey to cancel Yale’s holdings in Puerto Rico’s debt and divest from the fossil fuel industry. #YaleIsComplicit

It’s been hard to breathe for 10 days in Oakland. What gives me hope is seeing THOUSANDS of young people join together. We are leading even though our politicians have not.
This is their chance to protect our futures. @RepBarbaraLee, will you back @sunrisemvmt’s #GreenNewDeal? – at California, USA

Outside @NancyPelosi’s office, Sally said friend’s house burned down in #CampFire. 699 missing & 79 dead. In the Bay, a week of worst air in the WORLD.
You're from here, @NancyPelosi. Protect us from the #climate crisis. Back @Ocasio2018 + @sunrisemvmt proposal for #GreenNewDeal
CSSC retweeted
This is a historic moment in our country. The #GreenNewDeal is revolutionary and @Ocasio2018+@justicedems's proposal for a select committee will change the politic landscape forever. But we need everyone to take action on Tuesday to make it a reality sunrisemovement.org/gnd
