🚨 Raul M. Grijalva, Rep. Jared Huffman, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, & Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove just sent a letter to Bureau of Ocean Energy Management calling for them to end categorical exclusions, a policy that has allowed hundreds of offshore oil & gas projects to go without environmental reviews.
Here's that moment today 👇
The Progressive Caucus agenda is a critical framework to build on our shared progress to act on climate, address systemic inequality, lower the cost of living, and help lift up working families in Southern Arizona and so many across America.
