To: President Joe Biden Cc: Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Dear President Biden: We urge you and Congress to immediately fund an ecosocialist Green New Deal with an annual $4.1 trillion investment for ten years to help prevent climate collapse while helping our country recover from COVID-19. We call for a presidential declaration of a climate emergency with various executive orders to implement it. We must – as a coalition of hundreds of groups representing millions of people across the country fighting for climate, racial and economic justice have called for – Build Back Fossil Free. We are facing a climate emergency that threatens the future of humanity. The recently leaked study by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns that we must immediately take radical, comprehensive action to avoid catastrophic global warming. The situation is much worse than the IPCC stated two years ago when it called for urgent action. The study warns of a series of thresholds, such as at the melting of polar ice sheets and the loss of the Amazon rainforest, beyond which recovery from climate breakdown may become impossible: “Life on Earth can rec

End the Economic Blockade of Cuba – www.gp.org

In a United Nations vote on June 23, 2021, 184 countries of the world once again made clear the immediacy of the need to end the harmful economic blockade of Cuba. The time is long overdue to end this internationally illegal economic warfare that is still being waged against the people of this island nation which neighbors our state and is home to Cuban American families and friends cut off from their loved ones. The Green Party of Florida calls for President Biden to deliver on his statements to normalize relations with Cuba. We call for the immediate end to the Cuban embargo on behalf of the long-suffering families in Cuba and here in America.

The deportation machine of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) continues unabated. ICE and CBP defied Biden’s 100-day moratorium on deportations. Predictably, these agencies targeted Black and Latino immigrants for deportation.
