We've joined the Green New Deal Coalition, a coalition of candidates, individuals and organizations to support the Green New Deal.
Our campaign supports the ten policies endorsed by the Green New Deal Coalition:
• Cut military spending at least 70%;
• Create millions of green union jobs through massive public investment in renewable energy, mass transit and conservation;
• Set ambitious, science-based greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, and enact a revenue-neutral carbon tax to meet them;
• Establish single-payer "Medicare for all" health care;
• Provide tuition-free public higher education;
• Change trade agreements to improve labor, environmental, consumer, health and safety standards;
• End counterproductive prohibition policies and legalize marijuana;
• Enact tough limits on credit interest and lending rates, progressive tax reform and strict financial regulation;
• Amend the U.S. Constitution to abolish corporate personhood; and
• Pass sweeping electoral, campaign finance and anti-corruption reforms.
You can join Green Change's New Deal Coalition, too.

From our fellow AZ-06 candidate, Democrat Rebecca Schneider, on Jeff Flake's continual votes against extending unemployment insurance benefits:
The Rebecca Schneider for Congress campaign will be staging a protest in front of Jeff Flake's Mesa Office. We will be wearing cardboard barrels, since Mr. Flake doesn't seem to care if his constituents lose their last remaining lifeline and self respect.
Join us on Wednesday, July 21th from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m., 1640 S. Stapley Drive, Mesa 85204.
Come dressed in grungy T-shirt and shorts. Barrels will be provided on site.
