Agelbert NOTE: Pelosi is a
BLUE DOG 🐩 Democrat who accepts "contributions" from the
Hydrocarbon Hellspawn Fossil Fuel Fascists 🐉🦕🦖. I hope Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez ✨
is successful in shaming Pelosi into supporting a Green New Deal.

Demands For Green New Deal on The Hill Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) joined more than
200 youth protesters in a climate-sit in outside House Minority Leader
Nancy 🐩 Pelosi's 🦕 office Tuesday.
The protest, convened by
the Sunrise Movement and Justice Democrats, was meant to put pressure on Pelosi and House Democrats to
adopt radical climate action, and Ocasio-Cortez told protesters that should Pelosi become Speaker, "we’ve got her back in showing and pursuing the most progressive energy agenda that this country has ever seen."
Earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez unveiled a resolution for a select committee to form a plan for a Green New Deal, and on Tuesday tweeted that Pelosi's proposed reinstated climate committee
must not have
members appointed who
accept fossil fuel 🐉🦕🦖 contributions.
"We need a Green New Deal and we need to get to 100 percent renewables because our lives depend on it," Ocasio-Cortez told reporters.
"The IPCC themselves, they say we have 10 years left and I--not just as an elected member, but as a 29-year-old woman--am thinking not just about what we are going to accomplish in the next two years but the America that we’re going to live in in the next 30 years."
