I think that is critically important in this real conversation.

When commercial banks shut out Black and Brown people from lending, they are not just closing a door on homeownership.

I really do appreciate the leadership of our Chairman.

The sooner we realize that our fates are all connected and that nobody will be spared by our climate inaction, the sooner we can pass laws like the Insular Area Climate Change Act that take real steps to protect our most vulnerable…

I am really just--and bear with me, Chairman. I really want to show just how connected it is, that we can't allow communities to continue to fail like this.

We must stop weighing whether or not we will act on climate change by how much money it will cost our Government and big corporations.

A third of a class will raise their hand and say they have asthma.

The problem is Republican refusal to believe in science and take climate change seriously.

You know, it just doesn't, you know, invoke a lot of confidence when many of us when we hear it is an intern could have done that.
