The climate crisis is already happening right here in Rhode Island. Extreme weather events are growing more intense, shifting ocean conditions are affecting fishing stocks, and asthma rates from fossil fuel pollution are among the worst in the country. Across the board, it's indigenous people, people of color, and poor and working people who are bearing the brunt of the climate crisis.
The youth of Rhode Island have had enough. The climate crisis is happening now, but it's young people who will face its worst effects. We demand a Green New Deal for Rhode Island that will create thousands of good jobs and ensure a livable future for all.
We've had decades of politicians advocating for small, gradual change and trusting corporations to do the right thing. It hasn't worked.
