1/ Sadly, the @DNC won’t recognize the climate crisis as an existential threat, but instead has chosen to treat it as a pet issue of one candidate. #ClimateDebate https://t.co/wcIXxCKPXx

2/ The #ClimateDebate isn't about one candidate, it's about our one planet. Hundreds of thousands of grassroots activists, many progressive partner organizations, 9 state party chairs, over 50 DNC members, and 14 Presidential candidates have called for a climate debate.

3/ The call for a #ClimateDebate started with — and has always been led by — grassroots activists.

4/ Grassroots Democrats are rightfully angry that the DNC has refused to take action and have a full conversation about the complex challenge of building a clean energy economy and rapidly reducing emissions.

5/ Democrats around the country want to drill down on real solutions and comprehensive plans, not bumper stickers and soundbites. The DNC should listen to these voices.

6/ The Democratic Party has an opportunity to host a debate and to send a clear message that we are the party of climate solutions.

7/ I'm calling on Chairman Perez to reconsider his decision, and on every 2020 candidate to clearly voice their opposition to the DNC's decision to silence a climate debate.

8/ I will not back down: We need a full debate of this existential crisis. #ClimateDebate
