Tom Steyer

Tom Steyer ended his presidential campaign on February 29, 2020.

In his own words: “I first got into politics specifically to work on climate change. It affects every American profoundly and it still isn’t getting the attention it deserves. Over the last 10 years, I’ve been obsessed with environmental justice, renewable energy, and sustainability. Climate change is an existential threat to our way of life, and the Green New Deal is a solution that matches the scale of the problem. It would create millions of jobs and kickstart new industries making us a wealthier and more equitable nation. Best of all, it would make ALL our communities healthier. The technology and the economics are here. What’s not here. . .is the politics — because our politicians will not stand up to the oil and gas companies and other corporate polluters. I have, and I will.

To get climate right, let’s start with listening to communities of color. Climate is a science issue. Climate is a human issue. Climate is a racial issue. Where people can’t breathe, can’t drink the water, are Black and brown communities. https://t.co/sWq0SuMZAT
