Al,
Last night, 750 people joined the mass call where we laid out our plans to win a climate debate. The essence of that plan is this:
Several members of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) have introduced a resolution to hold a climate debate, and it’s supposed to go up for a vote at their national meeting August 22-24. At that meeting, representatives from each state will be voting on the climate debate -- and they're supposed to be representing what constituents in THEIR states want.
So for the next 7 weeks until that meeting, we’re going to show up at the offices of our local DNC members and make sure that they feel the pressure and hear loud and clear that the people demand a climate debate.
To win, we need to make Democratic Party members in every state feel the urgency of the climate crisis and the absolute need for a climate debate. That means we’re going to need demonstrations at Democratic Party offices across the country: Whether that’s a speak-out outside their office, an office takeover, a sit-in, or sitting-in outside, like we did last week in DC.
When we show up at local offices, we’re not just pressuring those state and local officials: we’re sending a message to national party officials and to the public that young people won’t let our leaders keep treating our generation’s survival as a secondary issue.
If we can make party officials all across the nation feel the public pressure from our movement and our generation, I know that we can win.
