Climate Emergency

We recognize the climate emergency as the defining challenge of our time. The future of our planet and the well-being of every community depend on bold, immediate action to address the climate crisis. Our platform is rooted in the principles of environmental justice, sustainability, and resilience. We are committed to advancing policies that not only combat climate change but also ensure a just transition for vulnerable communities.

What We Stand For: Addressing the Climate Emergency

Bold Climate Action
We support ambitious, science-based solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to renewable energy, and achieve a zero-carbon economy.
Environmental Justice
We prioritize protecting the communities most impacted by climate change, including low-income and historically marginalized populations, by addressing systemic inequities in environmental policy.
Sustainable Development
We advocate for policies that integrate housing, transportation, and urban planning to reduce environmental impact, promote sustainable growth, and create livable communities.
Disaster Preparedness and Resilience
As wildfires, droughts, and extreme weather events become more frequent, we support investments in climate adaptation and disaster preparedness to protect lives and infrastructure.
Green Jobs and Just Transition
We believe in creating good-paying, unionized jobs in renewable energy, sustainable industries, and climate-resilient infrastructure, ensuring that workers are supported in the transition to a green economy.

Our Record of Advocacy

Why This Matters

The climate emergency is not just an environmental issue—it’s a matter of justice, health, and survival. Our response must be swift and inclusive, prioritizing both the planet and the people most impacted by climate change.

As delegates to the California Democratic Party, we will fight for a platform that reflects the urgency of this crisis and ensures California continues to lead the way in addressing climate change while building a sustainable, equitable future.

Together, we can protect our planet and create a thriving future for generations to come.
