Senator Kamala Harris of California teamed up with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on legislation to bolster the Green New Deal and ensure marginalized communities don’t bear the brunt of climate change.
Climate change is a top issue for Democratic voters in polls. Harris, who is running for president, and Ocasio-Cortez recently co-sponsored Senator Elizabeth Warren‘s bill requiring publicly owned companies to disclose their exposure to climate-related risks. Harris is a co-sponsor of Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, a plan to address climate change while creating “clean” jobs.
