96% of Democrats list climate change as a very or somewhat important issue
Climate Emergency:
"A new CNN poll conducted by research firm SSRS shows that 96% of registered Democrats list climate change as a very or somewhat important issue when evaluating potential presidential candidates. If the 2018 midterm election was about health care, 2020 may hinge on what candidates intend to do about the fact that the Earth is warming to unsustainable levels: 82% of those polled saw it as a “very important” issue—by far the most important concern of all issues listed."dailykos
Update:
"Not only will @DNC not host a climate debate, but it has warned @JayInslee if he participates in any non-DNC debates, he won't be invited to any of theirs. Shameful."
"Groups backing a separate climate debate include the U.S. Youth Climate Strike, CREDO, Climate Hawks Vote, 350 Action, Greenpeace, Oil Change US, Daily Kos, NextGen America, the Sunrise Movement, Women’s March, Endangered Species Coalition, and Bold Alliance."
