Young Democrats of America: Sign-On to the DNC Climate Council Platform Recommendations

I, as a member of the Young Democrats of America National Committee (YDANC), request that the Secretary of Young Democrats of America, Rebecca Pinn, notify the Board of Directors to call a meeting of the YDANC. The YDANC should hold a meeting and vote to issue an endorsement of the DNC Climate Council's Recommendations for Energy and Climate Policy in the 2020 DNC Platform.

Why is this important?

The Platform Recommendations can be found here:

Climate change is an issue that affects broad coalitions of young people in the United States. The lasting effects of climate change will devastate the future economic prospects of young people, and in particular young people of color and native young people. With this in mind, we believe the recommendations issued by the DNC Council on the Environment & Climate Crisis are the most pragmatic solutions available.

We implore the rest of our members on the YDA National Committee to call for a meeting to hold a vote, and ultimately vote in support of, the Young Democrats of America endorsing the DNC Climate Council's Recommendations for Energy and Climate Policy in the 2020 DNC Platform.
