The overlapping economic, social, and climate crises everyday Americans are facing require big solutions – so big, we need the full weight of the federal government delivering for the people.
Over the past 5 years, our movement has secured hundreds of billions of dollars in climate and environmental justice investments from the federal government.
Now, the movement for a Green New Deal is working at all levels of government to make sure these dollars make it to the most impacted communities in the form of clean public transit, green and affordable homes, union jobs with livable wages, and more.
Who’s Got the Power?
State governors and agencies, as well as municipal, tribal and county governments are receiving hundreds of billions of dollars from President Biden’s administration to enact Green New Deal style solutions in their communities.
