NEW w/ @LeadLocally: Portland voters are more likely to vote for a candidate who has a reputation as a climate leader. They also oppose new fossil fuel projects within city limits and an "oil-by-rail" facility to store and transfer crude oil in Portland. dataforprogress.org/blog/2024/10/2…
THIS JUST IN: We partnered with @DataProgress to survey likely Portland (OR) voters ahead of the election. Over TWO THIRDS of Portland voters are *more likely* to vote for a climate leader. AND those voters strongly prefer candidates that support strong climate policy 🧵

In October, I drove to Portland Maine where activists interested in public power from all over met for a 3-day workshop. I wanted to understand why so many in the climate movement were turning to this idea, and why now. Here’s what I learned. heatmap.news/politics/what-…
Candidates can and SHOULD run on cleaning up dirty monopoly utilities!
Here's a wild stat: When @clean_virginia launched in 2018, there were 3 members total who rejected contributions from public utilities. Now: 41/51 members of the House Democratic Caucus 14/21 members of the Senate Democratic Caucus The times they are a-changin'

📣📣📣 @JCarrollFoy has won her primary for State Senate! She’s been one of VA’s TOP climate fighters in her run for the Gov’s office & as a former delegate for the VA Green New Deal, against the MVP pipeline & Dominion, and more! We can’t wait for her to be back in office 👊
🚨1ST WIN OF THE VA PRIMARIES📢 @lashrecseaird has WON her primary for State Senate from our Green New Deal slate! An Assembly leader on criminal justice reform, she just beat VA's LAST pro-life Dem on a progressive platform of climate, racial, & economic justice ✊
As I'm reading this article, the cafe I'm in coincidentally started blasting Billy Joel's "Vienna" -- this is definitely a sign, but what does it mean?! nytimes.com/2023/05/23/mag…
🎉SARA INNAMORATO WON🥳 After running a people-powered campaign, Green New Deal leader @Innamo will lead Allegheny County w a progressive majority and be able to act towards a just transition off fossil fuels, cleaner air, workers rights, and affordable housing.
We’ve been getting out the vote for @innamo for Allegheny County Executive this week w @fwaction & cannot WAIT to see this Green New Deal leader win tonight!!!
Sara’s election would cement progressive climate leadership over one of the country’s largest counties - where she could continue her work to fight for a local Green New Deal, a rapid transition off fossil fuels, workers rights, and affordable housing. Let’s go!
