That Trump tweet...

Kathleen- Wow. Donald Trump just tweeted what might be his most outrageous statement on climate denial ever. What's worse, he dragged Greenpeace into it! Here's the deal. Since Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez released the visionary resolution for Green New Deal, the response from right-wing climate deniers has been ludicrous. Just this morning, Patrick Moore — a paid polluter lobbyist who falsely claims to be a founder of Greenpeace — went on Fox and Friends to spew lies about the climate crisis and bash the Green New Deal. President Trump was quick to tweet his agreement. But, we know better. We need to jump on this media moment right now to call out Trump, resist climate denial and build real climate leadership to replace Trump in 2020. Tell all Democratic candidates running for president in 2020 to do everything in their power to support a Green New Deal and phase out fossil fuels now. You know how urgent this is. For every minute we spend on distractions and climate denial, the future of humanity loses time on finding real solutions. We're already on borrowed time. We need to stop lobbyists and politicians bankrolled by fossil fuel money from using their platforms to bully brave and bold leaders like Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. We need real climate leadership right now! The Green New Deal is more than just a response to an environmental threat — it's a vision for the future of this country that puts people and communities first. And, it's just plain common sense. A poll was recently released showing strong bipartisan support for a Green New Deal among registered voters, including 64% of Republicans. In fact, we think federal climate policy should go even further in confronting the fossil fuel industry for its polluting practices and its decades of obstructing climate action. This is a fight we can win, but I need your help to make that happen. The countdown is on. Let's go all in for #Climate2020 and demand presidential candidates tackle this climate crisis head-on.
