A climate activist group is urging Vice President Kamala Harris to lean into a “bold climate candidacy” as she sprints toward the November presidential election.
Climate Defiance, an organization that made waves by interrupting speeches and events to prod Biden administration officials on climate, laid out eight requests for Harris on Friday as the likely nominee looks to rally young people and climate-minded voters behind her.
“We’re hoping that Kamala Harris will really commit to a strong climate platform that recognizes the stakes at the moment that we’re in,” said Evan Drukker-Schardl, an organizer with Climate Defiance.
The activist group, which has interrupted Harris in the past, is now urging the vice president to commit to a climate agenda that involves curbing fossil fuel production and boosting federal efforts to brace for climate change.
