Climate change feels far off until your favorite natural places burn, lives are lost, and we're trapped inside our homes for a week+ because the air outside is literally too toxic to breath.

Electoral politics is essential this year - and not just presidency. #GreenNewDeal

It's hard to focus now (rising fascism, COVID, concentration camps, etc.), yet we need to make sure we don't lose sight of the work @sunrisemvmt has done to put us in a place where #GreenNewDeal2021 is possible - if we can take the presidency AND the US Senate.

This means we can't ignore any potential Senate pickup - and places like GA with @ossoff running vs. David Perdue and NC with @harrisonjaime vs. Lindsey Graham are huge opportunities - close polling and little investment - and Biden is up +1 in NC via @538politics today

For NC, this form gives links to volunteer or donate to Jaime - or groups like @fundprogress are looking to invest in ads in NC and GA targeting US Senate races in potential Biden pickup opportunities. These are 2 for 1 investment opportunities.

Look- places like NC and GA are WAY better places to put your small $ than Kentucky.

Amy McGrath is not going to #DitchMitch. 538 has Trump up whopping 16 in Kentucky. Invest in pickups with close polls and full impact like GA, NC or Texas instead.

I know- it's hard right now. Lots of folks on the left aren't excited by Biden, plus the world is on fire, country divided, and we're stuck inside/wearing masks. đŸ˜· I miss seeing friends, I miss dancing and live music - this is hard.

But we are SO close to transformation. 6/
It's possible that we could see a tsunami of electoral success in November.

FL, GA, NA, TX, MI and more could all flip into the blue column. Multiple US Senate seats. Gains in the US House. Tons of down ballot races.

Trump has a devoted core but is historically flawed.

Not fired up by Biden?

Fine, neither am I. We need him to win, but it's okay to let big $ carry that.

Pick a candidate for US Senate or House or a @runforsomething candidate for State Leg in a swing state. Your calls and $ make an outsize difference to them.

We can do this- we can win this year and legislate next year. Because of leaders like @aoc and organizing work done by @justicedems we are on the cusp.

It's scary now, but we can win big and have the #GreenNewDeal NEXT YEAR to rebuild our economy post COVID.

Keep fighting.

Okay, I'm not actually done. Looking for another high impact state leg race? MN is the only split legislature in the country and @AricForMN is on the cusp.
