Climate change is a global emergency. The Amazon rainforest is burning, Greenland’s ice shelf is melting, and the Arctic is on fire. People across the country and the world are already experiencing the deadly consequences of our climate crisis, as extreme weather events like heat waves, wildfires, droughts, floods, and hurricanes upend entire communities, ecosystems, economies, and ways of life, as well as endanger millions of lives.

As your congressman, Jackson Franklin will fight for the decade of the Green New Deal, a ten-year, nationwide mobilization to make our nation’s net carbon emissions ZERO. We know that it is not regular people who are the main contributors to climate change, in fact, 100 companies emit more than 70% of all of our nations Co2 emissions. Our duty then is to subsidize green technology, and implement it in all sectors of the economy to make sure the future of life on
