We can thrive as we recover, and I thank Rep. "We can and must do more than simply rebuild our economy, we must transform it - into an economy and a democracy that works for all Americans and saves the planet. The THRIVE Agenda is the kind of economy-wide job and justice creation mobilization we will need," said Senator Markey. "The solutions to help rebuild from the current health and economic crisis will help combat another – the climate crisis.
We have an opportunity to not just recover from these interlocking crises, but to thrive by creating millions of good paying, union, clean, green jobs while building a more just, healthy, and stable economy that leaves no one behind." "I grew up in a culture that welcomes everyone, a culture in which we support each other in times of need so everyone thrives. "The promise of the American dream should be available and accessible to everyone, but right now, our country is facing crises that are fatefully intertwined: tens of millions of people are unemployed, the COVID-19 pandemic rages, racial and economic injustice are rampant, and the climate crisis is accelerating," said Congresswoman Haaland, Vice Chair of the House Natural Resources Committee. We should build back in a way that directly combats climate change and the inequalities we see in every industry from public health to public housing, and the THRIVE Agenda is the blueprint." As we seek to rebuild from the public health and economic calamity caused by COVID-19, we must not settle for a return to the status quo.
"Just as the pandemic has compounded the institutional inequities in our public systems, climate change can-and already does-exacerbate the burdens on Black and Brown communities across the nation. "The year 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic have opened the eyes of the nation to the economic, racial, health, and environmental injustices that have long been interwoven into the fabric of our nation," said Congressman Cleaver.
THRIVE is built on eight pillars, which span from creating millions of good, safe jobs with access to unions to averting climate catastrophe while investing in Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities. The THRIVE resolution lays out the unifying principles necessary to build a society that enables dignified work increased racial, economic, gender, and environmental justice healthy communities and a stable climate. Markey (D-MA), Congresswoman Deb Haaland (D-NM), over 80 lawmakers in the House and Senate, and a coalition of grassroots groups labor unions and Black, Brown and Indigenous leaders from across the country to introduce the bold plan for economic renewal. (Washington, D.C.) – Today, United States Representative Emanuel Cleaver, II (D-MO) announced his support for the Agenda to Transform, Heal, and Renew by Investing in a Vibrant Economy, or THRIVE Agenda.
