Meet the Original Green New Dealer when Green Party Presidential candidate Howie Hawkins addresses Coos Bay voters to express his solidarity with local water defenders standing in opposition to the Jordan Cove Pipeline. In response to the pipeline, Hawkins says:

“I support the fight against the Jordan Cove LNG pipeline. That fight is in the frontlines of the fight against global warming. It is part of the same fight against the Keystone XL pipeline in the plains states, the expansion Enbridge Line 5 in the Great Lakes states, and the building of fracked gas pipelines and power plants in my home state of New York. We have to stop the building of new fossil fuel infrastructure. If we don’t, we will be burning fossil fuels for decades more. This will create a climate catastrophe. Climate sanity demands that instead of building more fossil fuel infrastructure, we should be putting new energy investments into a Green New Deal to create a 100% clean energy system by 2030.”
