Option
Join Jane and Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal as they dive into this historic opportunity to take on the power of the fossil fuel industry and invest trillions of dollars across the economy to create millions of jobs and kickstart the energy transition. They discuss how the Congresswoman can use her leverage as Chairwoman of the Progressive Caucus to eliminate billion dollars of subsidies to fossil fuel this year, the strategy to ensure that Congress passes a reconciliation bill of the size and scope necessary to meet the climate crisis instead of squandering this political moment by only focussing on a weak bipartisan infrastructure bill. They will also discuss a bombshell report from Greenpeace UK on Exxon lobbyists that shook up the global climate conversation.
