This is the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020. This part is called: COMBATING THE CLIMATE CRISIS AND PURSUING ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE (Part 2)
Only one party recognizes the urgent existential crisis facing our planet. Only one party believes in science and solutions.1/18
#Democrats will do all this with an eye to equity, access, benefits, and ownership opportunities for frontline communities—because Democrats believe we must embed environmental justice, economic justice, and climate justice at the heart of our policy and governing agenda.5/18
#Democrats will invest in the education and training of underrepresented groups, including people of color, low-income Americans, women, veterans, people with disabilities, and unemployed energy workers for jobs in clean energy-related industries, especially union jobs 12/18
#Democrats will also mobilize a diverse new generation of young workers through a corps and cohort challenged to conserve our public lands; deliver new clean energy, including to low-income communities and communities of color;
and address the changing #climate 15/18
#Democrats will achieve #GreenEnergy goals partly through pre-apprenticeship opportunities, joint labor-management registered apprenticeships for training, and direct-hire programs that put good-paying and union jobs within reach for more Americans.16/18 #DemPartyPlatform
Black, Latino, and immigrant workers are often on the front lines of disaster relief work with limited worker protections. 17/18 #DemPartyPlatform #GreenEnergyEconomy #FrontLineHeroes
#Democrats will invest in this critical workforce, supporting the creation of family-supporting and union jobs in disaster response and climate
resilience, with strong labor standards and worker protections, including good wages, benefits, access to paid leave etc. 18/18
