. @AOC & @sunrisemvmt have been valuable allies in the fight for a working class Green New Deal.
On one hand, we recognize these appointments as a reflection of the Left’s growing power.
On the other, we know that access does not equal power.
Our power lies with the people. https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1260580420489445378

As @AOC & @VarshPrakash acknowledge, representation on committees does not equal policies.
Giving a few a seat at the table will not win over young & working class voters—let alone win the power to meet the magnitude of this moment through a #PeoplesBailout & #GreenStimulus. https://twitter.com/varshprakash/status/1260522684359860224

Joe Biden has chosen to ally with the capitalist class over the working class throughout his entire career.
The Democratic establishment wants us to believe we can include exploiters and the exploited in a truly unified coalition. https://twitter.com/demsocialists/status/1260244691888504834

The Green New Deal policies we need are clear.
But an administration backed by union-busting law firms & advised by fossil fuel board members won't effect a just transition for workers, no matter how many persuasive white papers our movement produces. https://earther.gizmodo.com/joe-biden-and-bernie-sanders-made-a-climate-task-force-1843441272

The Democratic establishment likely sees these task forces as a return to closed-door negotiating—separating the 99% from political elites.
But @AOC & @sunrisemvmt advanced GND struggles by disrupting backroom talks w/ mass organizing—we must build power in ever greater force. https://twitter.com/aoc/status/1260582704170532870

At best, this effort can deepen fissures in the ruling class.
Only an organized working class will win a truly transformative Green New Deal.
The decisive fights for that vision will take place through ballots, direct action, & mass strikes—not negotiations behind closed doors. https://twitter.com/flyingwithsara/status/1260664966169927681

We will keep organizing to win a transformative Green New Deal based on ecosocialist principles.
Our power to win the world we need resides with the working class forces that are growing every day, on the frontlines of the climate crisis and everywhere. https://ecosocialists.dsausa.org/2019/02/28/gnd-principles/
