The American Climate Corps, a Green New Deal program, is here. The ACC
creates opportunities for new positions in local communities across 20
states to address the climate crisis.

This government jobs training program won by our movements is employing
young people to take on the local, escalating impacts of the climate
crisis. Moreover, a partnership with building trades unions gives
participants a clear path to union apprenticeships.

An article recently published by Kate Yonder notes how a vast majority of
18-22-year-olds are worried about climate change, with two-thirds of them
unsure what they can do about it.^1

[ [link removed] ]We’re working hard to encourage Congress + President Biden to expand
the ACC and pass more Green New Deal programs aimed at addressing the
climate crisis and creating new, high-paying work. However, we can’t do
this without your help. Will you pitch in $5 or whatever you can to help
us empower young people + fight for more programs like ACC?

In that same article, I noted how: “It’s really not just the thousands and
thousands of people who will be employed through the [American Climate
Corps] who I think could have had their mental health improved, but also
their acquaintances, families, neighbors, who similarly will benefit from
knowing that folks are actually being hired to work on this.”

Lessening the impact of the climate crisis will take all of us. Collective
organizing is key, and the ACC is a step in the right direction. [ [link removed] ]Help
us win more by pitching in $3 today.

Thank you for your support.
