Fossil fuel executives should be criminally prosecuted for the destruction they have knowingly caused. #GreenNewDeal

There is no such thing as "clean coal." There is no such thing as "sustainably fracked" natural gas.

We are going to end the greed of the fossil fuel industry and move to 100% renewable energy. #GreenNewDeal https://t.co/jEFCpt9NHQ

The climate crisis is the greatest challenge facing humanity. It's also our single greatest opportunity to build a just and equitable future.

We are going to create 20 million jobs and an economy that works for all.

It's time for a #GreenNewDeal. https://t.co/NteQAl2D7M

Don’t forget that these fires are being used to violently remove indigenous peoples from their land. Climate change is caused by profit-driven colonialism. We must hold these heartless industrialists to account for their atrocities. @BernieSanders’s #GreenNewDeal does it. https://t.co/74UpjhUTs9

"Sanders plan distinguishes itself in how aggressively it targets the fossil fuel industry. Not only does it call for hiking up taxes and penalties on polluters, it taps the Justice Department to pursue litigation against them." https://t.co/CuQa9dvL2F

Exactly. @SenSanders has massively moved the goal posts. This is what it means to treat the climate crisis like a true emergency and build an economy that cares for people and Earth at the same time. We can do this. We just have to choose to do. Read the plan, imagine its future. https://t.co/VGlbnQKCoY
