On July 29, I signed the 350 Action’s Day One Pledge, which asks presidential candidates to take four steps their first day in office:
- Reject all new federally-approved coal, oil, gas, and other fossil fuel project permits.
- Phase out oil and gas drilling and fracking on public lands and off our coasts.
- Rejoin the Paris Climate Accord.
- Ask Congress to investigate the fossil fuel industry’s role in misleading the public and stalling climate action, and to prepare to hold the industry accountable.
I am still the only presidential candidate to have signed the pledge to date.
