30 by 30 goal: conserving 30% of lands and oceans by 2030

There are a few other things that I'm planning to prioritize next year. Tops on the list is 30 by 30 - committing to the goal of conserving 30% of our lands and oceans by 2030 to protect the habitat that fish and wildlife need to reverse the extinction crisis. President-elect Biden has said he will adopt a 30 by 30 goal. And I was really excited when the hunting and fishing community expressed support for the 30 by 30 initiative as a way to protect biodiversity.

Fight for access to clean water, air, and housing

We need to act fast to counteract climate change and keep fossil fuels in the ground. I pledge to vote against all new fossil fuel infrastructure and to fight for 100% clean energy. I will fight for tribal nations across the country who are battling the fossil fuel industry in their backyards. I will fight for all families for access to clean water, air, and housing that allows us to raise our families with dignity. We need strong environmental protections to ensure this across industries.
