Joe Manchin might have just dealt the fatal blow to our planet.
Last week, Senator Joe Manchin told Democratic leadership that he refuses to support a package to address climate change. The fact that Manchin wants us to stand idly by while our planet, our towns, and our communities are ravaged by climate change is reprehensible and a dereliction of duty.
We need Jamaal in Congress to continue calling out destructive leaders like Manchin. And we need to stand up to those who put profits over the safety and security of our planet. Chip in today to help us strengthen our support for Jamaal and ensure that he can keep fighting for our values.
When Jamaal visited Yonkers, Rye, and Mount Vernon last week, he saw clearly the long-lasting and devastating effects that climate change has on our communities.
What's more, after a week of heavy rain and flooding, the Bronx saw a sinkhole form, damaging water lines and disrupting dozens of New York residents. And across the world, the UK is experiencing a heatwave unlike no other, facing wildfires and temperatures up to 104 degrees. Every expert agrees that these problems are only going to get significantly worse.
Let's be clear: we knew this would happen. We knew that conservative Democrats like Manchin would never flip the script and use their leverage to stand up for what's right for the people they represent. That's why we've put so much pressure on passing the entirety of President Biden's Build Back Better agenda as well as the bipartisan infrastructure framework.
We need President Biden to use the full scope of his executive powers to address the climate crisis, immediately. He must declare this crisis as a national emergency and take matters into his own hands. He ran for President — and won — on the promise of combating climate change. And despite what Manchin, or perhaps the people lining his pockets, want us to believe, we have no time to waste.
Together,
Bowman for Congress
