1) Start Cutting Pollution on Day One and Taking Executive Actions to Lead on Climate
2) Mobilize $5 Trillion for Climate Change with Investment in Infrastructure, Innovation, and Our People and Communities
3) Guarantee our Net-Zero Emissions Ambition by 2050
4) Defend our Communities That Are Preparing for and Fighting Against Extreme Weather
A FOUR-PART FRAMEWORK TO MOBILIZE A HISTORIC $5 TRILLION OVER TEN YEARS, REQUIRE NET-ZERO EMISSIONS BY 2050, AND ADDRESS THE GREATEST THREAT WE FACE
Climate change is the greatest threat we face one which will test our country, our democracy, and every single one of us. The stakes are clear: We are living in a transformed reality, where our longstanding inaction has not only impacted our climate but led to a growing emergency that has already started to sap our economic prosperity and public health worsening inequality and threatening our safety and security.
Escalating Harm and Economic Imperative
The costs of climate change will measure in the tens of trillions of dollars, in lives lost, and livelihoods devastated and destroyed. We are the first generation to feel the climate crisis, and the last generation with the ability to avert its worst impacts.
Threatening the Health of our Children and Communities
60 million Americans live in a place where the water they drink is unsafe. 140 million Americans live where the air they breathe is unsafe. Our aging infrastructure and unchecked climate change will only make these unacceptable facts far worse.
Exacerbating Structural Inequality
Climate change has a distressingly disproportionate impact on poor and minority communities across the United States and around the world. Race is the number one indicator for where toxic and polluting facilities are today.
Threatening Our National Security
Climate change is exacerbating global conflicts, reversing social and economic progress, and driving families to migrate in order to escape disasters. The U.S. military has gone so far as to call climate change a threat multiplier, posing new and severe risks to troops and bases.

From the About page:
With an eye toward how we unrig the U.S. economy to ensure higher wages, economic security, and opportunity for all working people, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the Center for American Progress Action Fund announced that they will jointly convene a daylong National Forum on Wages and Working People: Creating an Economy That Works for All in Las Vegas on April 27. This forum will provide an opportunity for thought leaders to go beyond talking points and share concrete plans to rebalance our economy and democracy.
Economic and political power is increasingly concentrated in the hands of corporations and billionaires, leaving most Americansof all racesoverworked, underpaid, and struggling to provide for their families. No one should have to work multiple jobs just to get by; no one should have to live paycheck to paycheck; and everyone should have the opportunity to join a union, no matter where they work. All discussions about the future direction of our country must boil down to what economic policies can do to shift power to working people. This event is invitation only. To view this event, a livestream will be made available on April 27.

I'm going to predict the top 3 candidates now...what's your prediction?
Biden
Beto
Warren
Bernie will be #4 but I believe that slowly but surely his supporters are going to jump ship and mostly switch to either Warren or Beto for the most part.
I'm curious what other people predict!
