Where Is It Now?
“You can be sure we’ll make it a top priority to pass a just economic renewal bill following the principles of THRIVE to confront climate change, economic inequality, and racial justice.” — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
President Biden campaigned on an all-government approach to addressing climate change. That’s because the THRIVE Agenda is a framework to mobilize every government instrument to tackle the climate crisis, while providing justice and equity for all workers, families, and communities. It would also have a positive impact on historical and present racial injustices.
Nearly 100 members of Congress have already co-sponsored THRIVE. Major supporters in the Senate include Senators Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Ron Wyden, and Ed Markey. In the House, the co-leads include: Representatives Deb Haaland, Debbie Dingell, Donald McEachin, Sheila Jackson Lee, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Raul Grijalva, Rosa DeLauro, Brendan Boyle, Barbara Lee, Ilhan Omar, and Ro Khanna.
We need the THRIVE Agenda. It meets the needs of the moment.
