The group, which works to get climate champions elected, has a “Climate Test” for candidates that both senators passed. It includes support for the Green New Deal and signing a no fossil fuel money pledge, among other issues.
“We cannot afford to wait till 2030 or even 2024. We must demand bold action from political candidates now. Senators Sanders and Warren have in their careers and this contest raised the level of debate in favor of climate justice,” 350 Action’s executive director, May Boeve, said in the press release.
