NYYCS is proud to endorse Lauren Ashcraft for Congress! Lauren is a democratic socialist candidate hoping to represent NY-12 in Congress and her bold and progressive policy platform reflects what NYYCS has been continually fighting hard for. Here’s what Lauren had to say about her vision for climate justice in NY: “To me, climate action means bringing together local communities, elected officials, and business owners to build a more livable future for us all. That’s why I support a Green New Deal: to protect our planet through the transformation of our public infrastructure, the creation of well-paying jobs for working-class Americans, and the pursuit of a just transition to a carbon-neutral economy.”
