Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is sponsoring a bill that would force taxpayers to fund the creation of a 1.5 million-member “Civilian Climate Corps” that would push communities to adopt environmental extremist measures to fight so-called “climate change.”
Going green with America’s green
Co-sponsoring the bill – called the Civilian Climate Corps for Jobs and Justice Act – with Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.), the controversial Democratic Socialist, AOC, is using her Party’s pitch of diversity and equity to forward the left’s pricey climate-alarmist agenda.
“A diverse and equitable group of 1.5 million Americans over five years will complete federally funded projects that help communities respond to climate change and transition to a clean economy,” Democrats announced. “Civilian Climate Corps work will reduce carbon emissions, enable a transition to renewable energy, build healthier and more resilient communities, implement conservation projects with proven climate benefits, and help communities recover from climate disasters.”
