117. Ocasia-Cortez responding to Sunrise Movement demonstration

Tue Nov 13, 2018, 01:32 PM

Nov 2018

The people lined up in front of Pelosi's office want a commitment by the Democratic congress for an actual plan to transform the U.S. to 100% renewable energy and in so doing hope to head off the most egregious climate changes and provide tons of jobs and a transformation of our economy. What I read of Nancy Pelosi's statement was that she wants this environmental committee formed and she supports a major infrastructure plan which will help protect communities from climate change -- all good things. But, the Sunrise Movement wants more than that for VERY GOOD REASON. United Nations says we only have 12 years to significantly slow this down. This is an emergency and Ocasia-Cortez is to be admired for publicly aligning herself with this movement. Nancy Pelosi is a tough leader who knows how to get things done, and she should remain there, but Ocasia-Cortez should continue to verbally push us to no longer close our eyes to the climate changes that seem practically inevitable. Whether or not Ocasia Cortez is grandstanding, I don't care. I thank her for being right out there.
