Green New Deal: Mobilization for Clean Energy, Jobs, and Justice

This Senate resolution recognizes the Federal Government's duty to create a Green New Deal—a 10-year national mobilization plan addressing climate change and economic inequality. Citizens would benefit from millions of new, high-wage jobs, guaranteed access to clean water, air, healthcare, and safe housing. The plan also mandates upgrading infrastructure and transitioning to 100% clean energy to secure the nation's economic and environmental future.
Key points
Guaranteeing a job with a family-sustaining wage, paid leave, and retirement security for all people as part of the economic transition.
Massive investments in upgrading infrastructure and buildings to achieve maximum energy efficiency and transition to 100% clean energy.
Strengthening workers' rights, including the right to organize, unionize, and collectively bargain.
Securing access to high-quality healthcare, affordable housing, clean water, and healthy food for all Americans.
Prioritizing investments in communities disproportionately affected by pollution and inequality (frontline and vulnerable communities).
