EXCERPT:
MCCARTHY: "Climate change is an intersectional issue and I'm going to tell you why. Hi, I'm Gina McCarthy. I'm the National Climate Adviser for President Biden. The biggest opportunity that this country has to grow jobs is to invest in clean energy. The very solutions that we need to deploy to fix climate change are going to be the solutions that we need to grow our economy again. We're talking about good jobs, good-paying union jobs and meeting the needs of individuals all across this country in every community. Climate change is a racial justice issue because it exacerbates the challenges in the communities that have been left behind. It goes after the very same communities that pollution has held back and racism has held back. And it's our opportunity to serve those communities, to elevate them. Young people have a big stake in the issue of climate change and what we do or don't do because it's your future that's at stake.”
