Within 30 minutes of Democratic California Senator Kamala Harris announcing her 2020 presidential bid, environmentalists demanded she endorse a “Green New Deal” in order to be taken “seriously.”
The Sunrise Movement, an environmental group led by activists in their 20s, said if Kamala “wants to be taken seriously by our generation” she needs to sign a pledge to not take donations from the fossil fuel industry and back a “Green New Deal.”
Harris announced she would run for president Monday morning, the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday.
Harris’ campaign does not accept corporate PAC donations, according to its website, so it’s unlikely she will sign such a pledge. The campaign did not respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s on whether or not Harris would support a “Green New Deal.
