It’s time to make big polluters pay instead of imposing the cost on our communities to rebuild in the wake of environmental degradation and pay the bills when our own health suffers while they run away with record profits.

• Protecting our water resources by investing in farming and urban water-conservation infrastructure.

• Reducing urban heat temperatures by greening our communities, particularly those historically marginalized from such efforts.

• Reducing fossil fuel use by investing in renewable energy, public transportation and multi-modal infrastructure, green jobs, and bringing green technology to historically underserved areas.

• Fund a Climate Superfund so that big polluters pay their fair share.

• Close coal-powered plants and banning fracking.

• Increase penalties for environmental malfeasance and ensure our state agencies are aggressively enforcing our laws.
