I just got off the phone with the DNC -- they refuse to host a climate debate.
Make no mistake: The DNC is silencing this movement. Tens of thousands of people signed our petition calling for a climate debate, climate advocacy organizations across the country have demanded this debate, and multiple presidential candidates have joined the call.
We're running out of time -- with barely more than a decade to address climate change before the effects are too extreme to change, we must make sure that climate is the primary focus in the 2020 election.
Flooded fields and cities in Iowa can't wait. Young people protesting for a healthy planet can't wait. Neighborhoods burned to the ground by wildfires in California can't wait. Drought-stricken communities in Washington state simply cannot wait for the folks at the DNC in Washington, D.C. to make this a priority.
