We need to Build Back Better, not Build Back in Bad Faith.
In response to the Biden administration’s infrastructure counteroffer, Greenpeace USA Climate Campaigner Ashley Thomson said:
“We believe Joe Biden — we need to Build Back Better, not Build Back in Bad Faith. We need to build on and go bigger than the vision President Biden offered on the American Jobs Plan — not capitulate to bad-faith negotiations from Republicans that want us to compromise on justice, on climate, and on our futures. If “bipartisanship” means negotiating against a better future or negotiating against our communities, then we know the choice is obvious.
Millions of voters have given the Biden administration a mandate to be bold and tackle the interlocking crises facing our country – the continued fallout from COVID-19, racial injustice, economic inequality and the worsening climate crisis. Even more, our movement has given Washington the THRIVE Act, a blueprint for creating 15 million jobs while furthering racial and economic justice.”
Ashley is a Campaigner on the Climate team at Greenpeace USA where she works on Federal climate policy. For the past several years she's worked on global climate policy for commodity supply chains, and has organized locally in DC for environmental justice and equity.
"As one of the most polluting countries in the history of the world, the United States must commit to its fair share of climate action by reducing absolute emissions 70 percent by 2030. Our leaders should not be fooled by unproven solutions like carbon capture and offsets promoted by the oil and gas industry."
